You're not a bad person, we are all humans with emotions that are hard to understand at times! However, it is important to think about how your actions might hurt your boyfriend or girlfriend. Are their feelings important to you? By talking to your significant other about the problem, you can end the relationship and move on to a person who you feel happier with. Talking about it can also lead to the two of you working on your problems, which means a healthier relationship!

You're not a bad person but you are doing a bad thing and your partner is going to get hurt. You either need to stop cheating and tbe honest with them or break it off so you can both find someone who really makes you happy.

cheating wouldnt make you a BAD person. but it is a bad thing to do. i think that you might need to talk it out with him/her and sort things out. and if she doesnt want you back, then you have to understand and respect it. and if she does, you need to realize what an amazing person you have by your side. but by all mean, cheating does nothing but harm. so please, never do it again.

You aren't a bad person for cheating. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you're doing the right thing. Being a bad person would mean you're doing things with the intent to hurt someone, and getting pleasure from it. Everyone does things that aren't right in their lives, that doesn't make them bad people , it makes them human. So no you aren't a bad person, but what you're doing isn't right. You need to think about what you want. What you really want. And then you need to make a choice . But either way both your partner and the person you're cheating with should know about the other. Especially if there was unprotected sexual intercourse.

Well, it's a mixed situation. Due to some circumstances, you may had cheated upon her/him, as there was no choice or option left with you. That's completely ok, but keeping your partner in darkness is not at all accepted. If it's ok with you, then you can go on, but in my opinion, you should stop this. GOOD LUCK!

You are creating an environment of mistrust. Relationships are built on honesty, love, and communication. You are not being honest and you are not communicating. You do not treat someone you love with disrespect in this way. It is OK to tell your current boyfriend or girlfriend that you are over the relationship and want to mvoe on - or that you want to have an open relationship - or that you don't want to hurt them but don't feel this is right for you at this time. That is a healthier way of dealing with your urges than by stringing people along. You and the people you are involving are currently at this moment forming unhealthy emotional patterns that they will associate with relationships and love, and prevent them from finding their perfect match that much longer. At least be honest.

This doesn't instantly make you a bad person. You should talk about this with them because it isn't a healthy way of having a relationship.

You're not a bad person, but you should reevaluate your morals. What is important to you? The way you treat people will reflect your morals. If you don't want people to think badly of you, you should think before you get into s relationship or cheat. The way you treat someone will forever be a staple of your behavior to them.

No, you're not a bad person. Our needs at a given time can be different and there are cases when a partner cannot be all we want them to be or when we plain want something else. However, you should always be mindful of the potential consequences, as well as the mental strain such a situation can put on you.

While in the eyes of some individuals, cheating can be a rather hurtful act towards your partner. You are not necessarily a bad person, as this will depend upon your morals and intentions. If you acted to fulfill revenge or a vendetta then the intentions are somewhat bad, but if you were hurting and being neglected then the intentions are not as bad. Cheating is not a healthy habit but sometimes it can be a major event in a relationship to test the willingness of both couples to cope and live with difficulties each other experiences. I would suggest an honest conversation with your partner and that you try to refrain from cheating again. Warm wishes :)
