Are all cheaters bad people? should you associate with them?

I wouldn't want such a judgemental self-righteous twat as you to be my friend!

Why are you so limited? There are many different forms of cheating, and people do it all the time. Cheating on work, test, out of situations, and more; if you're going to focus so hard on one deceiving act, why not on them all?

My point is, cheating sucks, but romantic relationships have a lot more rules than a friendship. You're not bound to this guy in some "monogamous" friendship lol; there's no such thing. So if he does lie, his lies to you would be rather trivial at best, and the most hurtful would be him not paying you back money he borrowed or telling secrets you've told him (which you should only do with best friends you trust btw). If he seems like a fun person to hang around, then go for it, and warn your friends who seem interested in him about his past; otherwise, what he does in his personal time isn't any of your business.

It's not really your buisness what other people do. Some may be unsure of being friends with someone who judges their personal lives.

Once a cheater always a cheater and word to the wise you are the company you keep .

Your not dating this person so what's the problem ... This is the real world... I can guarantee you people close to you have cheated on their partners and you'd never suspect them ... We are all human and all have urges

While some respect that, I do not.
Cheating is bad. It is hard to judge those people. Some just do not care, just like you mentioned and some are just weak. They get easily affected by emotional attachment, and quickly jump to cheating, or simply are too scared to end one relationship to start another. Dishonesty is the biggest problem here.
So many people fail to realize how much can a simple conversation achieve. All you have to do is look in the persons eye and tell him how you feel.
You do not want the relationship anymore than say it out loud and save all the drama.

I am one of those that does not respect cheating and does not take lightly to it. It is so easy to avoid. All it takes is a rational healthy mind.

Whether you should associate with them? That is hard to judge. It is hard to judge a single person based on a single action in his life. It generally depends how you feel about him/her. The person could have cheated because he could have been weak. That does not make him a bad person. The person could have cheated because he/she does not care about how people feel like. Just wanted to get laid.

It generally all comes to you. It is hard to generalize. Just think rationally. If you really think he is a bad person and does not deserve you than just quit hanging around him/her.

But I would never date a cheater, that is for sure. No matter the reasons or the cause.

I was in love with a guy who had cheated on the past.

He cheated again.

It's a tricky subject for sure and you're not wrong for how you feel, it's allowed and not bad at all.

People cheat for a ton of reasons, I assume. I'm like you on this, I wouldn't be with someone who has cheated, they tarnished themselves by my standards when it comes relationships of they've cheated.

That said, that's "my" standard and it's "your" standard, not everyone is like us and will give others another chance, a chance which isn't obligated to give but their choice.

So I wouldn't say you're bad for your standards, I share them with you, however others have their own standards, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

Cheating does not make you reprehensible. Many cheaters both men and women never get caught because they are still dedicated spouses, parents, and community members.

People get bored easily, and we were NOT meant to have the same sexual partner for life otherwise our species would never have survived.

Humans are primal, we forget that way too often, This over exuberance on tolerance, emotional repression and political correctness is absolute poison. Not telling some one they are complete f*cktard is hurting them and you.

Cheaters are lame... But you get to make the choice if you want to be friend's with them or not the one worry is they might try and fuck your significant other if you had one. I know a guy who is married with children and his always trying to get with any female even underage he's wife don't have a clue. But everyone is different I'm sure not all cheaters are the same.

I've known people who cheated in the past and then grew up and knew 100% that they will NEVER do it again (myself included). And then there are tbe people who go decades never cheating or thinking they would then they get bored in their long term marriage and have an affair. People change. You can't judge people just like that at face value, it's more complicated than that. I would never dismiss someone as a friend because they once cheated. Now if they are a total douche who still cheats and has no regrets/brags about it then they probably have a shitty personality anyways and wouldn't be worth being your friend. But someone who did it in the past probably learned from tbe experience (at least hopefully they did) and don't need your judgement.
