DOTD - Thursday

I figure if I post these early in the day, I won't forget and folks can respond throughout the day.... :) Today's question is a moral one: "To cheat or be cheated on - what's worse?"

I don't know; I'll be interested to see where you all fall on this. I think to cheat would mean one was seeking a thrill outside from the relationship and also perhaps was lacking a bit (ya think?) on the conscience dept, and to be cheated on would affect one's self esteem in such a way it may be hard to recover. I am not sure which is worse; they are both bad in different ways.

  • Oooh that's really hard. I think in a marriage, both are equally bad. Pre-marriage, I was both the cheator and cheatee (?) in relationships, and it was definitely harder on me when I was cheated on.

    This. 

    However, I was a cheatee once, and I made it so miserable for the guy, that pretty much everyone I knew (and dated after and heard about it) was terrified to cheat on me.

  • It is definitely worse to be cheated on.  Thankfully neither has happened to me, I'd rather just break up with the person than cheat, so I'm not 110% sure.

  • I've been in both situations pre-marriage, but they were more like dating situations, nothing committed or even close to sleeping together. I think it would be worse to be cheated on in a marriage. I'm so trusting, and I love that and would hate to lose it.

  • I can't choose. They both sound heartbreaking.
  • i've never been in either situation, thankfully. i don't think i'd be able to forgive being cheated on, i would never really trust that person again.

  • I've never cheated and as far as I know, I've never been cheated on. I think both would be really bad, you can probably eventually get over being cheated on but you may never forgive yourself for cheating. I can't choose!

     

  • To be cheated on. I think I would stew in my head and think about "what is wrong with me", "what did I do to cause this", etc etc.
