Do you think it’s ok to physically harm your partner if they cheat on you?

This whole turning the other cheek thing never works. It just gives bad people free license to keep hurting people. Imagine if every crime had the answer of "just let it go". Cheating should be one of those crimes, but it isn't. It's a type of sexual assault and can permanently damage men's/women's bodies and minds. People can let it go if they want, just like any rape or assault. But, no one else should be making that choice for them.
Imagine someone who's been given a permanent disease like HIV, wasted their lives, and been backstabbed. Now, they have a permanent disease, their lives are forever altered, they have PTSD and will take years to recover if they do at all. Why does society say it's fine for the bad guys to cause this damage? It's no better than rape of physical assault. Yet, in this equally bad case no one is allowed to react the way they are allowed to if they were assaulted in a way society did decide to call a crime. The law has been wrong many times in history. This is no different.
In many places, they actually took the time to make adultery a crime even if it's not prosecuted. But, even with that people aren't allowed to lash out? Why? Would you not lash out at your rapist or assaulter? I don't agree. We should not let people get away with hurting people this way.

Nope.. really immature.. i prefer to talk deeply heart to heart to him why he did it, whats my flaws to him, or even worse stopped loving me n stuff.. and if he really doesn't have any feeling for me anymore, fine we better break it up in a good way right now before im the one who getting one sided hurted too much.. BUT if he still love me and begging me not to break up, im sorry baby i have to end us, cuz cheating is horrible.. how could you
I'd love to hear the juvenile justification from the few men and women who said yes. There's no argument you're going to make that makes you seem like a rational balanced individual. You were likely hurt and want to lash out at the world because "feelings" or you're an incel (male or female). I'm aware I'm making general assertions, but I feel the evidence for said assertions should be self-evident.

If someone cheats on me, I will leave her sorry ass by the side of the road and not look back. But I;m not going to do anything that can get me put in jail; if I do that, SHE wins!

Violence is only an appropriate response to violence. It’s natural to want to hurt someone who has hurt you though. Knowing you can’t hurt them emotionally the way they hurt you definitely drives the impulse to hurt them physically. But it’s not okay to act on it.

no, first look or ask why, take me for example, if my husband cheated, I know that he gets turned on easy, and what do they say about a standing cock, it has no control. take me, I have a very high sex drive, a little drink and a sexual thought and I could have sex with another

While cheating can cause emotional as well as physical harm in the form of STDs and mental issues including a reluctance to trust again, returning physical harm won’t fix the problem or make you feel any better in the long term, in my opinion.
It very well might get you in trouble with the law depending on how far you take it.

It depends. If they are just boyfriend/girlfriend then they should just leave them, but if they are married and have kids together, I think death would be a reasonable punishment for one of them cheating since they would have damaged so much of the other person's life permanently when both marriage and kids are involved.

No. No hitting.

Absolutely not. There is only one thing that justifies physical violence and that is threat of life and limb.

That just makes YOU the crazy one. Sure, it hurts they cheated on you but you gotta let that mofo go. Without hurting them, or they could take you to court for physical abuse.
-
Um. No? There is never a reason to physically assault someone. (Self defense doesn't count as assault)
-
to a certian extent, like to full on beat them up to a bloody pulp, hell no. something like a slap across the face or a kick in the groin would be deserved though.

It's never ok to physically harm others. Why even risk jail time for a cheater? They're not worth even a tear.
-
As much as I would want to no it would not be okay. Best to walk away and not say much and address the situation after you had time to process through the feelings.

You go after the car. That’s usually the one they truly love
-
Naa, but don't hurt the one they cheated with either, bc they were gonna cheat with someone eventually, so the blame goes on the partner.
-
In WHAT universe is it EVER ok to physically harm one's partner?
-
They already left. No longer a partner... No harm required.
-
Certainly not. Violence only leads to more violence, which will never help anyone. Talking to each other and maybe find an arrangement.
-
Nobody knows what happens in the heat of the moment, I haven't been cheated on, but I don't even want to imagine how that shit would feel so I ain't judging someone for smacking someone's head for it
-
What kind of question is this of course it's not OK!!!
-
Nah
I'd walk away with self-respect and dignity.
-
I would stay with family or friends and not be around the cheater , no harming
