Find answers to your legal question.





If you were miserable in your marriage and met someone else would you leave your spouse or just cheat?

This was a long standing arguement with me and my husband of eighteen years. Now me and a friend are having the same arguement. I say if they can cheat and get away with it they will especially the longer they have been married cause they have more to lose. I am not talking about habitual cheaters. My husband always said ( and now my friend ) if he was miserable enough to cheat he would end the relaionship. I am just interested to see what people think or have experienced so I can prove my point to my friend.

It depends on the misery I would think. Most people don't like leaving not knowing when or if they will have another chance of a long term relationship so they get involved before hand so its easier to leave. That's what I have heard others say anyways. But if I was in a miserable relationship I would hope I would just leave. In fact I know I would because cheating is cheating if your miserable or not.

I think if I was miserable at all, I would leave the marriage, regardless if there was another person involved. If someone is not a habitual cheater, I believe that they would (and should) end one relationship and continue with another.

If you are miserable in a marriage then why stay in it, what do you have to lose? A happy, loving and respectful relationship is the most valuable asset to have and if you are miserable then what is there to lose.

If you get a divorced first then at least you walk away with some dignity and not as a cheater.

Why stay in an unfulfilling, "miserable" marriage? Bringing others into a mess that you refuse to handle only complicates things further. Figure out your life first, then involve others. Not the other way around.

If someone thinks cheating will make them happy, they will be wrong. They still have to go home to the miserable marriage.


hina
ur husband and friend are right ... if u r miserable enough to cheat u shud just end the relationship

or if u care about loosing so much because of the years u have been married u wont cheat.

cheating is not an option whatsoever

Leave 'em if it was I'd never let it get to misery

If someone divorces their spouse, they are a lot more likely to divorce the person they remarry.
