I would not blame the third party either; your spouse is making the choice to betray.....the third party is simply someone who has no morals or integrity..but in reality they owe you nothing.

Im with you on the "not the third party" choice thumbs up

As for the decision to cheat, Im sure there are as many reasons as there are cheaters - teaching communications skills in schools may be an idea, as would a focus on interpersonal relationships........ dunno

Wow! I can't believe that I didn't get bashed for saying i don't blame the third party....

And actually Costanza worded exactly how i feel....the third party may have no morals deciding to cheat with a married person, but they owe you nothing....and the marriage was destroyed long before the third party got involvedhandshake

To me 3rd party looks very unattractive in these cases.

Though there is always a possibility that 3rd party was deceived by your SO.

But in any case, 3rd party is not to blame - they have no obligations to you, your SO has. Therefore s/he is the only one to blame.

in those occurences where it was a brief one night stand two ships passing in the night...I agree.

however when its your friends, family, and co-workers who participate in the deed...Hell yeah I blame them just as much if not more so. very mad

when 2 people you trusted betray you ....you would be a fool to only hold one accountable for the act.

I'm with you on this. The other person isn't at fault many times.

The cheating partner is ENTIRELY responsible. Even if married to a terrible spouse. End it, before moving on.

BTW...separated IS STILL MATTIED!

I agree with Fireliter....it depends on who the 3rd party is whether or not they'd share part of the blame. However, never would they have sole blame for it.

I think men want to beat the 3rd party because they need someone to take the frustration, hurt and anger out on, and it's not acceptable to beat your wife. I've always understood when men spouted off like that...it's just a normal reaction.

Well, yes - friends and family is even more hurtful.

As for co-workers, it's just messy and unethical, but still your partner is the only one to blame in a betrayal.

I'm sorry Fire but i agree with "Laura225" on her answer to you....it is more hurtful for sure...but your friends/family/co-workers was not the one who stood before man (and God?) and made promises to you...it was your SO...and if they chose to cheat on you...they are the ones to blame NOT the friends/family/co-workers....they did not have an obligation to you...but you're right its hurtful none the less because you trusted them....

Why do you say "separated is still married" ship? If a man and woman have gone their separate ways and have been so for years...do you really believe a piece of paper still validates a marriage that is long dead?

If the 3rd party wasn't so willing, maybe they would make more of an effort to work through problems

I would not go for the third party choice either.

I think its not right to have a it is this or it is that opinion on this issue. It depends from person to person depending on their situation and how things led to where they did. Nope i am not trying to justify anyone but simply the fact that everyone is human and subject to folly. So is the person who is made to suffer the situation and thus has a choice to forgive or leave their partner.

But I would not say the third person has no morals or ethics. Its too generalized a statement which makes a very strong remark on another person. It simply depends on the ones involved and their situation.
