I'm cheating on my boyfriend or girlfriend. Am I a bad person?

People make mistakes, that doesn't make them bad people. However, you are doing something wrong that could potentially hurt your partner. You've violated the trust of another. What prevents us from becoming bad people is acknowledging our mistakes and owning up to them. As hard as it may be, you need to tell them that you are cheating on them. The guilt that you feel because of it proves you're not a bad person.

No, you're not a bad person. It's just a matter of time when you'll be clear of your choice. And every thing will be back in their places. Don't ever degrade yourself.

Yes it does. Cheating isn't a solution! If you are not happy with your partner you simply talk about it with them and if things don't work out with you, you leave them. Why would you want to cause them pain? By cheating you're literally crushing them. They will always feel insecure because of you. They will think that they are not good enough and that they don't deserve to be with someone. Cheating is not a solution. At least don't cause your partner pain.

No, you are not a bad person. Some people want a polygamous relationship and some want multiple partners but don't know how to handle their needs for more than one partner.

Congratulations! You are a human being. Making mistakes are part of our journey and are very very important to our development. The difficulty comes in when we stop learning from those mistakes and carry on blindly. If your actions are hurting someone else then you need to be honest with them. The lies we tell others often leave a little bit of poison in our own souls and the more lies we tell... the more poisoned our souls become. It doesn't mean you are a bad person, but it does mean that you have an opportunity to be better the next time.

You are a bad person, why would you do such a idiotic thing. That person that loves you, and you just trued your back on them and stabbed them, why? Why do something that will hurt you and and the person you love and just a short time. Sure its all fun and games until your boyfriend or girlfriend finds out and is torn to pieces,by something stupid you HAD to do.

personally I don't believe in cheating.. but I will look at the wider scale of life there are a lot of reasons why people cheat and without knowing the actually reason why one cheat we cant say the person is bad. there are many things that can lead to cheating such as: lack of emotional support ( social , physically) etc boredom ( long years of relationship and want to experience something new) there are many reasons but these are the two main ones. in order to indicate whether the person is bad or good best to know why he/ she cheated empathize then a decision can be made there after...

Of course not! You are an incredibly unique person who is seeking validation from an outside source. This usually means that you aren't receiving something in your current relationship that you are looking for. Try looking within yourself and seeing what you are really searching for. If nothing big stands out, sometimes it can be an issue with needing higher levels of attention or validation too. Look further within yourself and find out if your current relationship is really the one you want to be in. If it isn't, take steps to change your path. And if it is, try communicating with your partner about what you weren't receiving in the first place.

Let us put that question on whether if you are a bad person or not behind us for the moment. What is important now is that you got to know that you are a person, and people make mistakes, we are imperfect creatures. It is more crucial to know if you are mentally okay, I'm sure you have been through a great deal of pain from what has happened and you need to ensure that your heart is now out of the danger zone. Keep calm, allow all anger and guilt to simmer down. Once things are better, ask yourself now what do you want next. Be very clear about it and then proceed with your task step by step. You may fail but at the end of the day, you have tried. Should you need to speak with someone, you are always welcome to 7 Cups, our listeners are more than ready to have a nice chat with you. Get well soon!
