Why do these dating advice sites make it seem like cheating is the evilest/worst thing someone can do?

Someone can tell a story about being cheated on or being the cheater and theymll get called “scum of the earth.” “Trash” etc as if people aren’t doing worse things than cheating. I mean they’re literal murderers and rapists. Cheating isn’t right but it doesn’t make you a terrible person.

"Seem Like"? It's pretty f-ing bad. Or are you saying that it's ok to cheat... destroy a couple... traumatize kids involved in the relationship... and so on and so forth? Are you able to rationalize it so it sounds like a cheery little activity?

“As if people aren’t doing worse than cheating”, well duh lol of course there are much worse things than cheating happened in this world, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t or can’t be condemned. Saying a cheater is a shitty person or a scumbag doesn’t mean they’re worse than a murderer or rapist.

Ah, the fiery topic of infidelity! It's like stepping into an emotional tornado, isn't it? Here's the deal: the passion in those responses comes from the personal sting of betrayal. Cheating hits home for many because it's a breach of trust in a very personal, intimate context. While yes, there are objectively 'worse' acts in the moral spectrum, cheating is often vilified because it's a direct attack on the love and trust between partners. It's not about ranking wrongdoings but understanding the depth of pain such actions can inflict on a personal level. Love, trust, and respect are foundational in relationships, so when someone cheats, it feels like the ultimate betrayal. That being said, people are complex, and actions, including mistakes, do not define someone's entire character. We're all about learning, growing, and, ideally, making amends when we stumble. Keep the love shining and the trust strong, folks! 💕✨

Yes, cheating is bad, obviously but tame compared with so many other things.
