Is cheating on your mate immoral or simply a biological act?

If you have given your solemn vow to remain loyal and unilaterally default on your promise then you have betrayed both yourself and your partner.

It's not necessarily a question of immorality or biological drive, but one of personal honour and self esteem.

If one or other within the partnership feels that the relationship has deteriorated then a big effort should be made to try to rekindle the love and tenderness of the past.

If that fails then a mutual agreement to part is the only sensible way forward.

This means that both parties are starting out on their new paths on an equal footing without one of them having a head start by already being involved in another romantic liaison.

If however, children are involved then an even greater effort should be made to reignite the relationship as in any split up situation it's always the children who suffer most.

The key word is "cheating." Because a relationship can have any sort of agreement about how they will conduct themselves. Some insist on zero affairs, some take it further to zero flirting and zero looking at any sexual images, and then there is the other end with swingers who allow each other to screw around. But when you add the word "cheating" it means whatever was agreed upon was violated, and that's what made it immoral.

The biological act is part of it, but you don't get off the hook just because something is biological. Pooping is biological, but if you poop on your spouse's side of the bed and they get mad about it you can be sure saying simply "sorry, I just felt like pooping there, and it's a biological act, baby" isn't going to cut it.

Please explain this in greater detail. Tell me more.

Veterans who have been blown apart and no longer have legs or @sses may forget but the rest of the human race has @ssholes which occasionally secrete a substance know as poop. If they do it in a toilet, or in a post on CreateDebate, then people see it as pretty normal, but if they do it where someone else sleeps it is quite odd and angers other people.

You're wrong as per usual.

Firstly, morality does not exist in the objective sense.

Secondly, subjective interpretations of morality are culturally dependent. In some cultures it is perfectly normal to have relationships and/or sexual intercourse with multiple partners.

Yes--however, the debate creator specifically stated "cheating on your mate". Then, we see your analysis is incorrect as it is irrelevant.

It is the few 'bad apples' like Nom that make the point system here so meaningless, when it could be used in a productive manner as is seen on Quora & Stack Exchange

Probably both but what do I know? Tell you one thing, after the way my marriage ended I regret not taking every opportunity to cheat I had. If I had it to do all over again I'd never pass it up. You only live once.

Do I sound bitter? LOL

I think the question is a false dichotomy. Cheating can be many things between immoral and purely biological, and it's never entirely one extreme or the other.

Is emotionally investing in another man because you can't stand your abusive husband, immoral? I wouldn't say so. Is having sex with that other man a purely biological (physical) act? I wouldn't say so either.

Nothing is purely black or white in the world.
