IMO, the married person because they took vows. The single person has no commitments to uphold. I think that no matter how much the single person pursued and seduced, the married person should fight off temptation. And if it was the married person that did the pursuing, well, then they are even more to blame.

I agree. Its really all on the married person. THe single person has no responsibilities to anything - they are not the one who took a vow.

I would say the one in the relationship.

If someone is in the frame of mind to cheat, they are going to cheat with anyone.

The married person. They choose to make a commitment and take vows. They choose to stray from those vows.

I can understand you being p!ssed at your friend. Not only is hurting a marriage, she is ultimately hurting herself.

Re: Who is more to blame

At first I was going to vote that teh married person is more to blame. BUT as long as the other person knows it, they are just as much to blame. They both lack integrity and therefor BOTH would lose my respect.
I don't think I could remain friends with a girl or guy who had blatent disregard for marriage vows.

I agree



I agree too. I always love the married woman who goes after the other woman and blames her for her husband cheating on her. If it was not that lady it would of been another person.

If DH ever cheated on me i would totally blame him only (unless i knew the person who he cheated with). He took vows with me and he broke them. The woman really owes me nothing.

However, I would try and consult with my friend if she was doing it with a married man. I had a friend who did this awhile back and I just told her i was not happy about what she was doing and that I didn't want to hear about her activities with this guy. I didn't want to have to deal with it when the guy would not leave his wife for her.

I would have a big problem with that. I wouldn't cut off the friendship, but I would let my friend know that she is just sabotoging herself from finding a good man and a healthy relationship. On the rare chance he does leave his wife, what's to say he's not going to cheat on her !! I would never be able to trust someone who cheated on his wife with me.

Also... I truly believe in Karma... and she is sending out a lot of negativity out there, its gonna come back to get her.

As an ex wife of a cheater i agree 100% but its different if the other woman dosent know the man is married, if she dose know i question her values as well

not sure....she won't tell me all the details but in the past he has said "they are having problems". And he is deciding if he is going to leave the wife or not"
SO he needs time

Which imo is a total lie. He just wants to play around with my friend for a while and then drop her...
