Is cheating ever okay?

For the most part no. I think its immoral. If you don't want to be with the person, no matter how complicated. Leave them. Break up. I don't believe in lying to someone's face, because some people almost always find out. I think the thing with cheating is that its the normal thing people do in society to have sex out side of a relationship or marriage. I think if you're so inclined to go out and have sex with other people or pursue a relationship outside of a marriage, than perhaps some people haven't realized that they're not happy with who they're with no matter how many times they convince themselves that they are.

No, cheating is not okay.  If you get caught, your teacher will fail you, and even send you to the principals office.  I've peeked once or twice for answers during exams, but I've actually learned from those, instead of just writing down the answer to pass.  There are actually some subjects that I learned while copying the answers. It's hard to memorize, but the key is actually to understand.

 

Oh wait, we're not talking about that kind of cheating?  If you mean illicit relationship, then of course I do not condone such actions.  We're talking about trust issues here and trust is not something that you can easily earn.  Some people cheat basically means that they are not satisfied with their partners, be it emotionally or physically.  I have a friend who is angry at her husband for taking in a mistress, and I also have a friend who is a mistress.  Things did not go well with them.  I just can't stand how stupid they become.  As a rule of thumb, if you are going to do something stupid, make sure that you and your family will be able to live a lifetime in comfort.

 

Then again, there is a saying here that everything is legal unless you get caught.

I was raised to treat people how you expect to be treated. If you're happy with people treating you that way and your honest about it then no one's hurt.

But,like me, if that wouldn't be what you wanted, then it's only fair to not do it to others.

Each to their own and all that.
