    Cheating is always cheating. While being married means you have a piece of paper saying you’re together, the person who cheats always does it for the same reasons. To me, it’s the same.

    Spouse. People wouldn’t get married if they felt it was the same commitment as just being bf and gf.

  3. John Johnson says:

    Spouse is worse. Because you’ve made the explicit committment in that case.

  4. Woka says:

    Both are equally bad, but usually when there are kids involved I think it is worse.

  5. Army Wife says:

    Cheating on your spouse. As a married couple you said vows and you engaged in a committment that should not be broken. There is no point in cheating….if you end up cheating then you shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place.

    there is no difference or degree

    it’s a violation of a trust
    equally

    Cheating is cheating and is bad any time you do it whether it is with a partner or spouse. There is no worse or better its all bad in the same.

  8. Stefano says:

    Well cheating on your boyfriend / girlfriend would be least worse when you are married you are in a commitment and when you cheat then that commitment is easily broken. So yeah cheating on your spouse is worst, since if they were married in the church they are to say, “Through sickness and in health” or other.

  9. Optimist says:

    Your question makes the presumption that cheating is bad.

  10. Pearl says:

    When you are married you make a vow to “forsake all others”, before that you didnt.

    There are worse things in marriages than sexual infidelity BTW.

  11. Gary B says:

    What’s the difference?

    You make an arrangement with someone, that you are going to be “theirs”, and then you break the trust and cheat.

    Either way, the cheater demonstrates that they are untrustworthy and a poor source of potential “partner” material.

    What I find hilarious is those people who they cheat with! They think they are getting some great prize, but all they get is someone who SHOWS that they will cheat given the opportunity. Who in Hell would want to date someone like that? The cheater is KNOWN to be untrustworthy, and the “cheatee” is an idiot! What a major combination for future break up or divorce.

    Partner or spouse, a cheater is a POOR example of humanity, a poor choice of “partnership” material, and incapable of either loving and being loved.

    I think they are both wrong. I don’t think one is worse than the other. It is a commitment regardless of your marriage status. If you want to screw around do it while your single.

  13. highstake says:

    It is worse to cheat on a spouse, because that is adultery. Cheating on a bf/gf is not adultery. It is just dishonest.

  14. ablex says:

    Spouse = partner
    Same same

  15. →†ɧɍїllї∩g.ḅu†.†Фxίc.← says:

    Both are terrible sins. Its called committing adultery. It is very wrong.
    In the bible it says even thinking about another woman, or man in a sexual way is considered adultery.
    If you’re thinking about doing any of that, please don’t. For the sake of your soul, and for the feelings of those you’re doing it to.

  16. GUY bein a GUY says:

    Does it matter? Really?

    Infidelity takes many forms.

    Spouse is worse because the open door has been closed by marriage.

    cheating is cheating it still hurts someone
