Why are people having so much issue with the article, I agreed with it? The title isnât the most eloquent thing ever but the article wasnât 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 thereâs 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 isnât 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 donât feel they can escape, they can feel insecure and unloved. Again, not to say itâs something you should ever do, but dehumanizing someone over a mistake is just as bad in my opinion. Thereâs nowhere where they can talk about their experiences, and itâs likely we know a lot of people who have cheated in our lives even if they havenât (or were too scared) to tell us about it.Â
