Why are people having so much issue with the article, I agreed with it? The title isnβt the most eloquent thing ever but the article wasnβt encouraging cheating, where you go behind your partners back, but instead looking at the issue of cheating as a not black-and-white thing where thereβs one horribly evil person who just wanted to have fun/get laid with one traumatized-for-life victim. Instead, like most- nah, let me say with ANYTHING in real life beyond fiction, the article sees the grays in cheating and why the person cheated in the first place. Not to say that cheating isnβt a horrible thing to do, but I feel like people need to understand that there are reasons people do the things they do. People who cheat are human beings. They could feel horrible about it, they could be trapped in a marriage or relationship that they donβt feel they can escape, they can feel insecure and unloved. Again, not to say itβs something you should ever do, but dehumanizing someone over a mistake is just as bad in my opinion. Thereβs nowhere where they can talk about their experiences, and itβs likely we know a lot of people who have cheated in our lives even if they havenβt (or were too scared) to tell us about it.Β
