Why are you cheating on them? Is it a physical reason or an emotional one? Good/bad is relative, what you're doing depends on your reason. If in doubt: 1. Do you love him/her? 2. Do you love who it is that you're cheating with? 3. Are you going to keep doing it? 4. Does him/her deserve to know about it? 5. What are you going to do when him/her finds out? How would you feel? Bit of a questionnaire sorry. The point is, theres a reason why you chose to cheat. Find out what that reason is because its sabotaging your relationship. And then decide on what you want to do based on how you feel. But its not really about being a bad person, thats only if you're trying to find out whether you deserve to be punished or want to keep on doing it.

I think the fact your asking if it makes you a bad person , tells me that cheating is making you feel bad about yourself. So no I don't think it makes you a bad perso, just human and flawed like the rest of us but I do believe that you cant ever truly be happy if you are doing something which you feel is wrong.

Some people hate cheaters, but i was one so i can say that you aren't a bad person. Just let go of one of them and don't lead the other on. You get hurt worse in the end

Why are you cheating? There is most likely an underlying need or issue that is going unresolved, and cheating and avoiding the issue is not going to ever make anything better. You aren't a bad person, but you aren't dealing with the problem and you are making a bad decision that is only going to make your life more complicated and stressful. You should focus on the reason why you are cheating or end the relationship.

Well put the shoe on the other foot for a moment. If relationships, all relationships are built on trust, how do you think you would feel if someone was not honest with you about their feelings concerning your relationship? We all bring our personal experiences to life. I had a boyfriend cheat on me... we had dated for a year. I was pretty upset, not that he decided to go out with someone else behind my back but that he shared feelings with her that he did not share with me. Dividing your feelings between two people can't be easy nor can the feeling that you are living dishonestly. What would you like your girlfriend to know about your feelings towards her and how would you like her to respond?

You are not a bad person unless you feel bad. You can work on changing your behavior if it is impacting your life negatively, destroying your relationships, & making you feel bad.

I wouldn't call you a to-the-core bad person. You are most definitely making a wrong choice and it should cease from happening. One of several things need to happen: you break up with your significant other because you do not have the want to be in the relationship with them anymore/are interested in someone else, or you can try to let the relationship continue AFTER letting them know what you have done (giving them the option of whether to try again or not). Cheating is NOT a good thing, but you do not have to let it define you. Just never make the mistake again.

I think that is somewhat a loaded question. I don't think you are a bad person by the choices you make.
