Is having an affair the best way at getting back at your partner for having one?

No, your partner has obviously made a big mistake and hopefully you have both talked and tried to sort this out, it will be hard for you to trust him again for a long time but at least you can work things out, if you have an affair this will push your relationship to far and you will not come back from it trust me it really wont make you feel any better, revenge isn't always sweet and you will end up feeling bad about yourself not to mention the diseases you can pick up these days. if you still love him you can work this out and if you decide you want revenge or to sleep around maybe you need to look for someone who who really loves and respects you...
Good luck

Only if you both agree to be very immature for the rest of your lives.

You both need to gorw up.

No. I've done that and didn't feel any better. The best way is to leave that person and move on with your life. You'll never be able to foget what that person did to you and if you do it that makes you just as bad.

No, leaving, moving on and living a long, wonderful and happy life sounds like the better revenge.

It only means that you are willing to put your own morals in the gutter the same way that they did, makes you as slimy and as lame as your partner.

Absolutely not. Having an affair might hurt your partner but I can assure you that it will hurt you more than it will hurt your partner. Two wrongs don't make a right. Don't stoop that low. Have respect for yourself and be the bigger person.

Sure, if you want to be as disrespectful and immature as your partner.

Think of the pain that it caused you. Do you really want to be the cause of that type of pain in someone else? Be the bigger person and either choose to forgive and work on it or let them go.

Sure because everyone knows 2 wrongs make a right. No point in it, lose the cheater.

Two wrongs don't make a right, as you've heard many times, I'm sure. Getting even only leads to more problems in the end. Time to move on. Having an affair, lowers yourself to your mate's level.


Stranger
Yes.

Yes it is.


tiny_lou1965
WHAT!
that's ridiculous..

the best and more painful way is to stay together, cos that's obviously not what you both want...

so wont that be more painful?

No, its destructive and a lowest common denominator solution. Try to resolve your problems by finding out why your partner had an affair in the first place. If there is no resolution, only difficulties ahead, your next move might be to think of a separation of withdrawing from the relationship altogether. A new start is sometimes the best option.......................

wow, thats really really healthy!!!
Two wrongs don't make a right, show them your the bigger more mature person and just walk away from the relationship.

No, Your partner should not have had an affair, sort it out & if you are not happy split.

Find someone else.

Relationships must be based on total honesty.


gav
Yes it probably is, although I doubt you would have much of a relationship after that.


purna
tit for tat is not the answer. for sake of revenge dont spoil ur future. think mature, act wise. the more mature and correct way wud b to talk it out with ur partner openly and decide.

Of course not...leaving him without telling him is

*just pack your things and leave without leaving him a note*

No..as the saying goes "two wrongs don't make a right".
Revenge only sustains the pain longer. It will be a tough road as is to get over the affair, why make it worse?
Do something positive for yourself. That way, you are putting energy into doing something good for yourself and not something bad.
I personally like to take the negative energy and I put into my workout. That relieves the negative energy and I gain positive energy because I know that I've worked out hard and I will look good.

Having an affair is not a good way to get abck at anyone. Its just plain wrong, its not just you are your bit on the side that end up getting hurt, but other innocent people. A mate of mine has been having an affair for the last 18 months with a married man. She is also married and her husband has just found out, now the whole thing has blown up, with the kids and both innocent partners all being hurt as well as family and freinds... come on either work out if you can forgive and move on or end it, save you both a whole load of hurt and the people you care about. It is the innocent people that get caught up in the twisted web that suffer more. Just dont do it.... Simple!

It will "get back" at your partner but it won't make you feel any better about what happened. Wanting to seek revenge is proof that are still hurting. Your partner needs to earn your trust again and if you can move forward with the relationship, try to do so. If you can't, sever it.

Remember revenge is a dish best served cold, wait a few months letting the other person think everything is ok so they are feeling really secure and then send them the picture of you cheating on them.

If you dont want to work things out and you think it will make you feel better then go for it but once it's done there's no going back so be totally sure before you do anything.

No, cause it will never give you the satisfaction of revenge you are wanting.


♥itsme♥
Would that really make you feel better about yourself? Lowering yourself to the same behavior as your partner only lowers you. I can't think of one benefit to cheating in return. If the relationship is worth saving then work on saving it, don't look for ways to ruin it.

Dangerous and deceitful. Is it fair on the person you have the affair with just to use them to get back at your partner? What if the target of your deceit decides they want you for the rest of their lives? What if you catch something? Revenge is not really a good tool in relationships. If you want revenge you must ask yourself if you really love your partner because would you want to hurt them so bad?
