It is plain and simple. Cheating is never OK or justified. If a person can say that they are in a relationship, then that person has made a commitment to that relationship and the person who shares the relationship.
Laws are made to punish individuals who break them and to protect the victims, therefore if cheating were OK, explain why there are laws of marriage?

As human beings we are all responsible for our own actions and we are all responsible for the consequences of those actions. It is cowardly to put blame onto others.
I find it tiresome listening to the cheaters who say "I wasn't happy", "my spouse/partner wasn't happy", "I didn't feel loved", "I wasn't getting the same out of the relationship", "the love had gone", "what he/she doesn't know, won't hurt them". I'd like to refer to the latter here in saying that he/she probably did know, or had a very firm inclination.
Marriage and relationships are all about trust, love, fidelity, friendship. The list is endless. Would you deceive your best and most loyal friend? I believe the majority would say "no". Then to a partner, who is more than a best friend, this deception is truly cruel.
We are all human beings, we wish to be treated as humans,therefore we should expect nothing less than our treatment of others to be of a standard no less than we would expect in return.
Love can be lost, this is true. But if an individual finds them self in a loveless relationship then there is no shame in leaving that relationship. I do not mean, it's OK to leave the relationship for someone who you've been having an affair with for the past year. I mean, as human beings we all have the right to love and be loved, therefore it is OK for an individual to leave a relationship having explained to their spouse/partner why. Likewise it is pure human decency to leave the relationship so that the spouse/partner you no longer love are free to find love with someone else, as they deserve.
In no way, shape or form is this justified through an affair. Treat others as you wish to be treated, therefore become a free individual before moving into the arms of someone else.
