Should cheating be illegal?

[Grim Reaper]

In my opinion, yes.

Aside from the obvious betrayal of trust and initial ♥♥♥♥ feeling, it can be horrible for the victim's confidence, mental health, and can affect the way they view the opposite sex negatively. Cheating also tends to be a repeating behavior in those who practice it, rather than a one off occurrence, meaning being charged for it and having it on a cheater's criminal record would protect people from accidentally becoming the next victim.

The term for what you just described is called "Victim blaming"

No. What you’re describing is indignance.

Blah blah life isnt fair, it can be if more people put in the effort :)

Cheating can cause trust issues not to mention poor mental health is a liability not just for the individual but for whoever they are working for as an unhappy worker just isn't as productive as a motivated worker. You can already get charged for verbal abuse of a child, yet all it does is hurt their feelings (apparently).

Yeah, don’t abuse children. They’re growing and you can stunt them as humans if you’re a piece of trash towards them. Something I’m sure you relate to if you’re making posts like this.

If you don’t have the emotional wherewithal to pick yourself up after infidelity then that’s on you and your employer has the right to terminate your employment if you can’t do the job. “Leave it at the door.” That lack of an emotional spine probably even plays into why you were intimately forsaken (people who are cheated on, not you specifically).

Eh, I disagree. Anyone who equates romantic cheating to abuse, especially child abuse, has never been truly abused. Granted, that's not to say a cheater can't be abusive, but as a general statement, the two are not comparable. Being cheated on absolutely sucks, and I speak from experience, but it is nothing like going through repeated abuse for years.

in some countries u can execute the woman if she cheats on u while married, in said countries many women get forced into marriage... ur proposal would punish everyone who hates their relationship and is part of it against their will

Yeah I was abused by my sole guardian all my upbringing into adulthood, the idea of being cheated on means nothing to me. It might make me want to get revenge in some way thats about it.

You are wanting a law to dictate what happens between consenting adults.

This is literally the same vein of logic that made gay couples illegal.

Please tell me who the ♥♥♥♥ consents to being cheated on, we are not talking about a kink where some guy likes being cucked, we are talking about a cheater and a victim. Now we are infact comparing apples to oranges, tho talking about a consenting adult couple vs an unforeseen betrayal of trust is more like comparing apples to idk ice cream.

I'd like to refer to this post one more time, if someone (Hypotethically) has it on their criminal record that they have cheated in the past. Then suddenly deciding to date them is different since you are going into it, easily foreseeing what will eventually happen. Really such a thing would protect so many people from wasting time and money just for their partner to cheat on them anyway.

They are adults.

Relationships have risks. Getting into a relationship is you consenting to those risks. Those risks(outside of the current exceptions like physical abuse) should not be controlled by the law.

I think that cheating is a form of abuse and have yet to see an argument for why it isn't, in the same way that manipulation and verbal abuse of your partner is.

I wasn’t equating the two. I know their different. Distinctly.

cheating being illegal would also enable partners in fake-marriages to blackmail

Yeah and if they have it on their criminal record that they are cheaters, you'd be wiser to know not to risk it with the additional knowledge. Let me repeat that cheating is most of the time a persistent behavior rather than a one off occurrence.

Because cheating isn't black and white as you want it to be.

You proposed law would essentially trap people in relationships that they may not be able to or no longer want to be in under threat of legal repercussions.

While I agree that one should end the relationship instead of cheating, reality sadly isn't always as black & white.

I'd recommend you read this comment because this describes what I said well enough:

Again, cheating sucks, but it's not comparable to long-term abuse, especially by someone you cannot leave. Some people who are abusive do cheat, but I guarantee that them cheating on you is the least of your concerns if you are in that sort of relationship. It hurts at the time, and maybe for awhile afterwards, but it's not going to give you a lifetime of trauma, flashbacks, nightmares, episodes, etc.
