Adultery question?

If a married man cheats with an unmarried woman, isn't it moreso adultery on his part and not hers? He's married and she's not, so he's the one who really commited adultery right?
Additional Details
I wasn't asking whose fault it was, I already know they both were wrong. But he was the one who committed himself to his wife before god. She on the other hand is single and is not commited to anyone. Yes, she knew he was married.

If she knows that he's married, then the fault lies equally with both parties.


rosemist
Both would be I think

the married man is cheating, and the one committing adultery... now if the single person knows that he is married she should be as guilty as he is....

They both committed adultery just off the fact that they both knew better. And not only is the female an adulterer but shes a home wrecker. How would she feel if someone was to come and screw her husband?

No she commited adultery if she knows the man is married. I mean the word adultery is when a married person cheats but she knew it. It all depends on why you are asking. Either way its not ok.

He is the one who said the vows and made the commitment so he is MORE legally wrong. But if the woman knew he was married and especially if she knew the wife, she was just as wrong morally. Women shouldn't treat each other that way...you expect guys to be dogs sometimes but you should be able to trust women more...

Well, according to everyone who thinks I'm an adulterous woman (I'm single), apparently NOT. The truth is, it doesn't matter who is the one. Both people enter into the decisions----BUT---and this is to all you high-horse-sitters out there!---it also takes TWO people to make a bad marriage. SO, if you don't tend your garden, the flowers go elsewhere, don't they? If a married person isn't happy and seeks it elsewhere, there's a story there that usually involves BOTH people.

Both are commiting adultery according to my minister. I guess you could say I had a few things to confess that I didn't know I had to confess! If she knew he was married (I didn't until later) then she's equally guilty.

I think she also comits adultary as she knows he is married, and so in a way deprives the othe woman the purity of her husband - . If you dont own the responsibility, and let it go after that - you are fine. If it just happened. But if u deliberately did it and keep on repeating it is not good.

You are both commiting adultery.. you are sleeping with another womans man...
Its harder for him because he sees his wife everyday, but if you were confronted with her you would think differently.


Kitty
Yes, he's the one who committed adultery. He broke his committment, however she had no committments to break.


steven p
if that will make you feel better....sure youre right.

Did the unmarried woman know if he was married? if not then it is completely on the guy. but if she knew then it is on her and him.


~~HaVe An AwEsOmE dAy~~
HE IS THE ONE COMMITING ADULTERY SHE WOULD BE THE MISTRESS AND HOME WRECKER. SO THEY SAY.

Look when this happens both parties have committed adultery. There is no one person that takes this blame, it is both. Takes two to tangle. Just remember in the future leave married men alone. I am sure you have seen this by now. The best part is that if you ask "God" to forgive you, he will. Pray to God about this and any other problems and he will help you through it.


fucose_man
Although I do fault the person who knows they are with a married person, the bulk of the blame lies with the married person.
If two married people have affairs, it is only useful to deal with the person you are married to. If your hubby and a married woman get nasty, forget her - blaming her is the easy way out - she will have plenty of cr@p to catch from her hubby - deal with yours.


chlango1
its on both of them

Technically, it's his fault and yes he committed the adultry. But if this other woman knew he was married, then she is just as much at fault.


April
Wrong.....If either is married, it is adultery on both sides, hon....each is equally guilty, betrayal has occurred on both sides--He has betrayed his marriage, and she has knowingly entered into a relationship with a married man.

That's correct. And he is the only one breaking any vows, so he is the only one at fault.

he would be commiting adultery and she would be fornicating.

yes, cause she isnt breaking a promise to anyone.

I actually happen to agree. If I'm single and go out with a married man, he's committing adultery and I'm not.

I'm single, I can date anyone I want!

However, if the single person is dating the married guy with the intent to cause problems or break up his marriage, then that's a whole different ballgame!
