this might sound stupid but why is cheating on your partner wrong?

If you're not a Christian, then it isn't wrong, necessarily.  You need to define what's acceptable at the beginning of a relationship, and then if you don't violate any of those pre-defined rules, it isn't really cheating.\n\nIf you and your partner decide it's okay to have sex with other people, but it's not okay to wear blue lipstick, then don't wear any blue lipstick!  Just have sex with other people, you'll be okay!\n\nIf you ARE Christian, it's wrong because God defines our morals and he says it's wrong.  He says we're to be faithful to one other for the rest of our lives after marriage, and not to covet someone else's love.

No. It's bad enough to cheat, but not telling your partner (if you truly love them) is robbing them of their right to TRUST you.\n\nIf your partner loves you back, they'll be mad and may break it off for a bit, but they'd understand.

I hope this is a troll and not a serious question.\n\nYES it's wrong.  Trust is a big part of any serious relationship, and by doing this, a woman would be violating one of the most serious trusts she possible could, aside from cheating.

I can sit here and say.."You should not cheat..it's morally wrong..yadda yadda yadda" But I'm not going to give you that lecture when i myself have cheated! yea its wrong and i shouldn't have done it....but sometimes it happens! I dont do it often, but i admit its happened! so if you really want to go through with cheating...i find the best way is to write answers on a tiny sheet of paper and place in your chair between your legs....what teacher is gonna look there! by doing this, you can look at the answers with your eyes and not make it obvious by moving your head! I suggest not cheating b/c by doing it you dont learn anything! it bites you in the butt later down the line...but its your life...you control it.

Cheating on your boyfriend because he cheated only you only takes you to his level. You probably should have left him no matter how much you feel you "loved" him.\n\nWhen a person cheats, they are disrespecting their significant other and disrespecting themselves. Cheating is dishonorable. So if someone cheats on you, why would you want to stoop to their level? Instead, take the high road and become a better and stronger person.

It may not be cheating in the usual unedrstanding of the word, but it most certainly is not being faithful. Consider how you would feel if your spouse had fallen in love with some bimbo on line and was sneaking off to have hot sticky computer sex when you weren't around? \n\nDon't betray your spouse.

Don't worry. It is not wrong.\n\nYou can be in love with a person, and likes (and be liked by) several peoples too.\n\nIt can be not so good if you try to get more from this other people.\n\nDefinitely it is wrong if you cheat your loved one if a relationship exists.

People cheat because they are selfish and there are selfish partners who will cheat along with them.\n\nThis is not a man/woman thing, unless all of these men are cheating with other men.  They are cheating with women.  Therefore, there are as many women cheaters as men.\n\nNot everybody cheats on their partner, not everyone in an affair is married.  But both parties are guilty of violating YOUR vows (if you were married, I see this was "just" a boyfriend)\n\nIt's not a man/woman thing, it's a character issue, and the character of both cheaters is the problem, not gender.

Yes, I do.  Any time you bring a third party into a relationship it is cheating.  Now if you have an open relationship and your partner doesn't mind then that is a different story.  If you are in a good healthy relationship why would you want to involve another person?

well as long as you and your partner like it it is OK and who says what is normal? I believe if it pleases you and your partner the rest of the world shouldn't tell you if it is right or wrong what you do behind closed doors don't matter to us. If it pleases you GO AHEAD. IT IS NOT WRONG

very likely, most people who cheat or are sneaky will occasionally try to project this trait onto the other partner to take away any feelings of what they are doing wrong and to make it look like you the other partner is just crazy and the one actuallly doing the wrong.

It's never OK to cheat. \nIf you aren't as serious about the relationship as your boyfriend, then dump him and find someone new. Or have a long talk with him about possibly having an open relationship where you both can see other people. He'll get the hint that you aren't satisfied with the way things are. He'll either work with you to fix them, or give you your freedom to enjoy others. \nBut no matter what, honesty is always better than deceit. You would be betraying him if you cheated, and it would hurt him worse in the long run than if you just dumped him. In addition, it would be hard on you to keep your lies straight, and keep him from finding out. It's actually a lot of work to have an affair behind someones back, so it's not worth it.

If nobody is harmed and no self-respect is lost, then no, it's not wrong.\n\nBut of course, it's rarely that simple.  When a betrayed spouse or lover discovers the betrayal, then the simple one-night stand becomes much more complicated.  Even where there's no betrayal involved, many people find it difficult to reconcile the one-night stand with their image of themselves as decent and upright persons, because our society has attached so much guilt to sex that it's a wonder we can think about it at all.\n\nThis is turning into a long-winded answer.  What I mean is: Sex is not wrong, therefore one-night stands are not wrong in themselves.  The wrong part is all the other stuff that tends to go along with them.

If you think you're boyfriend's cheating on you, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T PROVE IT, you have the wrong boyfriend. Understand? A faithful partner wouldn't give you these reasons to suspect.

The reason is that he is probably still cheating on you. And thinks you maybe doing the same. It's called a guilty conscience.

while cheating is wrong, i think theres part of male subconsious that causes a man to want to spread his seed,\n\nin cave man times when kids died a lot and cave man wanted to get his genetics into the next generation he would go and try and impregnate as many cave women as he can\n\nthere are some species that I think are monogomous, I can't think of any off the top of my head but I think there are, I might be wrong,\n\nanyhow,  darwinian logical i would think would say, find as many partners as you can if you are male,\ndarwinian logic meaning try and spread your seed and win the genetic next generation olympics,\n\nin modern day america we sorta have a concept that monogomy is right, and cheating is wrong,\nbut because the modern male mind still gets these biological messsages in the form of heh i wanna go and have some more @ss than just my current partner, spouse or girlfriend, this discrepensy causes unhappiness\n\nmature men deal with it\njerks cheat

if she is the one that cheated, then she is the one with the problem,,,and that is no way to solve any problem that a couple may have...... There is NO excuse for cheating. And what ever the "issue, is or was" it is not the boyfriends fault.... the fault always lies with the cheater.  She should have been more of an adult, and either worked the issue out or left the relationship.
