Why do people do this?

ladyslippers	they want to feel better about doing it. why else? i agree though that they shouldn't in the first place, because it is wrong and so very annoying.

LeeLynn	I'll tell you why..they are idiots!!

Society Dweller	Maybe it's because they don't know what cheating is, or they are curious as to what others consider cheating.

april	shame on them. Because they're straight out losers. and dont' know or don't want to commit to a person. ugh. and the sad thing is that now days you can't really trust anyone because even the shy, quiet ones do it. But hey what goes around comes around. They will pay for it.

Drew C	They are looking for exactly that, someone to say its ok. They need someone to justify their actions to rid themselves of guilt. Its just that easy in their heads. Truth is... they are just fooling themselves

R.I.P Uncle Mattâ™¥	cuz their losers..n want attention

RUNINTLKT	They're checking the "morality thermometer"..to see where it's at these days. If the majority say it's ok.. then you're right..they'll feel better about it when they do it.

moonlitocean2000	It probably is. "Misery loves company" too. I heard that somewhere.

w3bgrrlknowsall	Yes. It's a coping mechanism to deal with their guilt and self-loathing. It's also a sign of a weak mind to look to others for approval of what is obviously a wrong thing to do.

riteon	You got me, but I am guessing that's exactly what their hoping, that some other cheater will say, yeah, man, nothing wrong with that. If they don't think cheating is wrong, then their just a morally deficient human.

Dionannan	Looking for an OK. To justify their behavior. Cheating is just wrong. Boy Friend-Girl friend-Best Friend-Family Member or Neighbor Cheating is wrong!!!

wazup_dude2007	Exactly or to feel better if someone else said they cheated and are still with the person they cheated on or even cheated with. I can't stand cheating. If you aren't happy with one person, then don't make a commitment to them. Know what i mean?

jennelizabeth22	They want the approval from someone that what they did wasn't really that bad. Obviously they feel bad about what they have done or they wouldn't even be asking what someone else thought about the situation.

BIG BEN	cheating is wrong. and alot of people in answers don't know because they have never done it. I say don't answer the ? if you don't know.

cobrasnake	right 100%.You already answer the question.

Love-crazy101	huh?

G O	They r feeling guilty. they do know its wrong but r looking for some kind of solice ye shall not judge until ye are ready to be judged

Link	I've honestly thought the same thing before. It's as if people expect cheating to happen. Has society really degraded itself to the point where cheating is something so widespread, that it should automatically be something to be concerned about? It's always assumed, even accepted, as something that just happens - and that is simply sickening and disgusting.

littleone	People who cheat will find any way at all to justify it to themselves and anyone who will listen. This releases them from the responsibility of caring who they hurt or what dreams they have destroyed since they have gotten what they want. Hopefully there are enough of us out there who know it's wrong to hurt someone simply for our own gratifications.

Nicole B	Who knows why ppl ask questions about cheating.. ..maybe in their eyes they need to know what cheating is soo they know where to draw the line?.. I truly don;t really know Sry =(

Joseph C	say it loud ! i AGREE 100 % they just want atention !

Kitty	Yes, this is why.

joyceeleann	because its not wrong in everyones eyes..some marriages have open relationships. They just want to hear someones opinion and maybe confirmation of what they already believe in.

ellen	Prolly so.

banks	.,,,,,,,

sydrinesmom	People are crazy.

Ree	people who cheat are dumb. they feel insecure and hopeless. they are selfish and dumb.

Broken Bella Â©	I think they want to get an answer that will maybe make them feel better about the actions they already did or have in mind to do... Or maybe they ask so they can get answers from a lot of ignorant people saying what they did was OK and confirm that they are not alone in their ignorance and selfishness... Could be a number of ignorant reasons why people ask.

hawekkk	they likethe attention and they know its wrong so they want the people to agree with them or to see if people tell them to go for it

Julia	yeah people are just so selfish these days
