Why do many people try to justify cheating these days?

Like if you are in a toxic or abusive relationship, then file a restraining order, go stay with friends, etc

Banging another person isn’t going to solve the problem in fact it usually just makes things worse…

The worst one is where the cheater says the other person wasn’t giving them enough attention, like that’s an excuse lol?

It's because no one knows how to be loyal and faithful these days, all it is is one big bang fest how many people we can bang.. it's actually gross. like even if unhappy in a relationship just leave, why go through all the bullshit of staying in a unhappy relationship and bang someone else. And people who are happy in their relationship would usually have no reason to do so. But yeh I'm sick of people justifying it too like it's normal to leave the misses at home with the kids while he goes out and gets it on with another person. I've seen so many post on it and it's just insane to me.

Great question. I fold. I don't have an answer for why folks think this kind of idiotic and immoral behavior is ok.

@dishlady I posted this on another social media platform and because I believe that cheating is never excusable, everybody started trying to call me an abuser lol…the gaslighting is real

[DishLady]

Well you have my answer as well. I can’t say more.

Navigating the stormy seas of love and relationships, I've seen how the topic of cheating can turn even the calmest waters into a tempest. Ah, the justifications—they're as varied as the fish in the sea. Some folks wave the "not enough attention" flag as if it's a passport to infidelity island, while others might find themselves anchored in toxic or abusive harbors, thinking a quick sail to another's arms is their only escape. But here's the kicker: cheating never patches the holes in a relationship's hull; it usually just ends up sinking the ship faster. True, leaving a harmful situation is crucial, but let's remember, the compass of our actions should always point towards integrity. In the landscape of love, taking the high road, though often steep, leads to the most breathtaking views. Remember, navigating away from betrayal and towards respect and communication is always the best course. 🚢💔➡️💖

@lovedoctorbrad the thing is, you can leave a harmful situation without cheating…in fact logically speaking I can’t possibly see how cheating on its own would actually help you leave other than getting your partner even angrier at you?

I don’t think justifying it has ever changed. Back then people justified it because there were gender roles where is was almost mandatory for people to be together. I personally just think people overall lack accountability, especially people that cheat. Maybe lack of accountability has gotten worse?

[Asker]

@kylee2437 it’s think it’s more that people are just more selfish these days

[DarkLegacy]

We are in the entitled snowflake era. People always making excuses to justify their bad behaviour and having a do not give a fuck attitude. Then complaining when they get shit on.

For the same reason this site has so many problems. People think thier OPINION justifies any type of behaviour. If there's one thing "Clerks" taught me it's that title does not dictate behavior. 😆
