Is adultery ever justified

[Velvetpaws75]

Can it ever be morally justified to cheat on your partner whether married or not?
I have heard several people say it is fair enough if their sex life is absent or unsatisfying or they are otherwise unhappy in their relationship.
Personally I do not feel it is ever acceptable.
I think that if you are that unhappy either leave the relationship or get agreement that you can have sex with someone else.

All the most common scenarios then @partypant

Every other man i know has locked in syndrome. It's not wonder there's all these affairs these days, really

@kamboozled

If I am able to 100% absolutely avoid this using self- control and awareness - so are you and everyone else here.

Are you under the impression everyone is like you?

Or you think they should be like you?

I remember your situation from another thread but you wouldn't explain why you're still with your DH.

Comes across as extremely selfish to your affair partner TBH with you. I didn't feel much sympathy for your DH who was so much older than you and you were barely an adult but you had an affair, spent a decade apart? in the meantime your AP had serious health issues, said there had been no one else since you and the affair resumed.
Just end the marriage and be with the AP for real instead of just keeping him on the side.

The point is, people are saying there are no exceptions. I merely pointed out that there are in my opinion, some justified exceptions. Extreme or not there are exceptions. In any case, some of my examples are not that extreme. Marriages of the type I described are not that uncommon.

Perhaps instead of looking for ways to minimise my examples you could just modify your black and white outlook

This thread makes me feel I would far rather my dp fucked multiple other women than that he ever stay joylessly faithful purely because it's the right thing to do and he has such fantastic self control. If it's so hard to be faithful, don't bother.

[Reads about polyamory again]

So, what you want is a man who has the capacity to be sexually incontinent but is so enamored by you he is reformed into faithfulness? How Mills and Boon.

No... just a long relationship which accepts change.

Understandable definitely.

I'd rather he just left rather than stay and fuck other women! I'd hate someone to stay with me because they thought it was the right thing to do.
