Would you ever be "the other guy/girl"?

Absolutely not. I've been cheated on, and anyone who's been in that position knows how incredibly awful it feels to be betrayed like that. So that's why I'm extremely perplexed by people who have been cheated on, and go on afterwards to be the "other guy/girl" with someone else. Like, don't you have any fucking sympathy?

Some people only think about their own pleasure and don't give a shit about others. It's sad.

Been there, done that. Been on the receiving end of it too.

But I've been single and enjoying life for the last couple of years and I have dipped in and out (no pun intended) of being that guy and I don't feel too bad about it. If you are not going to give her what she wants/needs, someone else will.

So guys and girls, if you partner wants to hug and kiss horizontally, stop making excuses and just do it. Because if you don't take the time for it, someone else will.

This is horrible logic.

Someone is going to do something shitty therefore I should be the one to do it.
 
I've never pursued it but I've fallen into it a few times. I don't really have anything to justify it other than life happens. I also don't feel like I need to justify it. I enjoyed those relationships quite a bit since I've sworn off monogamous relationships entirely.
 
I probably wouldn't do it again. It's one thing to hook up with someone who might be in a relationship, but to be in a LTR relationship with someone stepping out on their spouse is a draining experience
 
Was recently accused of trying to do something like this. Never felt more insulted.
 
I met someone who gave a funny monologue about how being the "side bitch" was way better than being the "main bitch". Funny girl she was, and hot too, but my takeaway was to avoid her at all costs.
 
Nope.

I mean, anyone who is cheating in the first place is kind of an immediate red flag for what they're true colors are.
 
at one point everyone is. most marriages aren't the first choices. someone always settles for number 2 in the equation.
 
Probably not. STDs freak me out too much so I don't want to sleep with somebody while their sleeping with someone else.

But you know, it's possible depending on certain things.

And also I don't want to get shot because I know I'd be likely to attack someone sleeping with my girl/wife.

65/35 no/yes lol
 
Not willingly. I've had the chance and turned it down. I realize cheating lies with the person that's in a relationship, but I would always feel like a bad person if I did it.
 
No. First off, it's wrong, and I would feel very guilty. Secondly, I am too insecure to know the person I am with is also with someone else.
 
If the person is attractive and I'm just in it for the sex I wouldn't care. But that type of person would never be lover material and I would eventually move on.
 
Yes, but never were they upfront about it. Normally I just let it phase off after I find out. I don't feel guilty about it or anything, but I don't have the gull to continue.

It's easy cheat and honestly, even if you are the other guy doing it. It begins to fuck with your perspective on things.
 
I hooked up with a lesbian in a relationship who felt guilty she hadn't been with a guy in so many years. I know that doesn't make any sense.
 
Done it quite a few times. I met the husband of the last one and found out he was the nicest guy. Felt like complete shit.

Never again.
 
The last fling I had was with someone who was pregnant with someone else's child... She told her boyfriend I was her gay friend.

So. Yeah, yeah I would.

In the same situation? I would deserve it.

I don't know that specific situation, but in general, would you be cool with your SO cheating on you with someone else? Rhetorical question.

What kind of logic is that? Has their unknowing partner sworn off monogamous relationships? Christ dude.
 
Fuck no.

1) It's a skummy move

2) You don't know what the other person might do if they find out

I've seen people get busted up over it, tires slashed, rocks thrown through windows, rage drunk drive and wreck, attempt suicide, etc. Cheating/infidelity can cause people to do some crazy shit.

No way I'm going to willingly put myself in a situation where any of that can happen, and have myself somehow involved.

No fucking way.
 
I'm a magnet for these types of situations. I don't really mind so it's ok. A lot of times it's preferable since you usually don't have to deal with certain monetary and time responsibilities of an exclusive relationship.
 
Surprised to see there are some decent human beings left. I think being the accomplice in cheating is abhorrent, possibly sociopathic behavior.
 
Have denied the opportunity in the past. Few things feel as emotionally and morally wrong as cheating to me.

But if you don't know, there's no way of telling.
 
It goes against a code of conduct that I strive to achieve. But tbh not the worst thing in the world, and it depends on the context of the relationship.
 
I would say yes, but I would need them to be in the following situation:

1, They are not that serious with whoever they are seeing.
2. I am not looking into anything long term with them.
