Generally speaking, it’s not okay to cheat in a relationship – no matter the circumstances. Cheating is using deceit and manipulation to get what you want from your partner without hurting their feelings. This behavior goes against everything that healthy relationships are built upon – trust, honesty, and respect.
So, if you’ve been considering cheating on your partner or have already done so, talk about it with them as soon as possible for forgiveness. They may be angry at first, but they’ll eventually understand and might even forgive you.
