Are cheaters bad people?

I have terrible issues with fidelity. I suck at it. For me anyway, I just tend to live in the moment. So if I am not sexually satisfied in a relationship, and an arousing opportunity comes my way, I will take it without considering the consequences. I am pretty sure many people would consider me a bad person as a result.
 
If your SO always needs to be the monopoly banker, you may be dating a cheater.
 
I could probably forgive a cheater who "slipped up", but I cannot forgive a liar.
 
I don't think the act of cheating makes them a bad person; their decency was measured long before the pants dropped.

If cheating is a question of morality, isn't it then based on that individuals' beliefs? I make my judgements on a case by case basis.
 
they're people doing a bad thing. they might still give blood, jump in front of busses to save grannies, work at the soup kitchen on their day off. but they're still doing a shitty thing.
 
No, just people making bad choices, like people above have already stated.
 
Some people are primed to love more than one person. If people are honest and accept this idea about themselves, if they know this idea about themselves-- they are not bad people because they tell the truth.
 
Cheating is a question of integrity. They made an agreement and are breaking it.
Hormones may make it harder to keep one's integrity, but it's no excuse.
People shouldn't make agreements they are not prepared to keep.
If one can't keep the agreement, renegioate it before breaking it.
 
Cheating doesn't make you a bad person, just someone who makes mistakes. Unless its the woman who is cheating than yeah she is a bad person.
 
I don't really have a specific situation.

I've just been watching the show The Affair, and it got me thinking.

Have you seen it? It's not bad.

No, I haven't. The answer to your question changes with circumstances. In general mostly good people can do bad things and mostly bad people can do good things.
 
Cheating doesn't make you a bad person, just someone who makes mistakes. Unless its the woman who is cheating than yeah she is a bad person.

You are saying that just to wind us up, aren't you?
 
That's not cheating.
I don't have the answers. I only have ideas and acceptance about human nature. I anticipate a man will cheat me if I don't take every droplet of sexual energy he has in his body.

I anticipate my creative will cheat a man if he doesn't understand my language.

Cheating is bad if it hurts a person. If the person can not be hurt, the cheater is not bad.
