who is the bigger homewrecker the cheating husband or the other woman who may be married too?

I think its both fault if they are both aware of the situation..but as a society is it more acceptable to blame women more than the man

I see a lot of homewrecker comments in Marriage and Divorce and wonder why it seems the woman is blamed more.......................... just wondering out loud

    The cheater is ALWAYS at fault... Hands down...

    But when the woman KNOWINGLY is sleeping with a married man and shows up on M&D to ask advice/support without thinking others will be horrified, offended, and disgusted then she deserves the title of a "Homewrecking Whore"...

    If she was the unwitty party and needs some support in dealing with the sitiuation then it is another story...

    The woman who cheated on her husband with a man who was also married and expected him to leave his wife a kids for her was the most grotesque excuse for the term I have seen around her...

    Man or woman doesn't matter - it's knowledge that one or both of them is married that should determine fault. If you are married and you cheat, YOU are obviously wrong. If your cheating partner knows you are married, that person is also wrong and might be called an accessory to your "cRime" though I'd prefer to call that person a co-conspirator. As for the person who responded here that men have a harder time controlling themselves, that's an old, dead excuse that just doesn't make it any more. If you are old enough to have sex, you are old enough to know the difference between right & wrong and ultimately responsible for your own misbehavior; whether the partner is also responsible is like a child saying "She made me do it." That did not work when you were 4 and will not work when you are 24 or 34 or 84! Why don't people take responsibility for their own part in their misdeeds? Or even better, why do they commit the misdeeds in the first place if they know it is wrong?

    If a husband cheats, and the woman does not know he is married, people still want to call her the home wrecker. It's wrong, and it's totally his fault. If both people are aware that one of them is married, it's both people's fault. I still lay more blame on the married person, because the single person is only looking for love, attention, affection and is probably promised that the husband is going to leave his wife.

    Ok know I'm gonna get hella ripped for this but...it's more of the

    W H O R E ' S fault for seducing a married man. some women just won't quit. Men get drunk and are easily influenced ect. he would still be busted big time but she would be the one getting a major a$$ whooping(with him paying for gas money/a ride to her house,and watching me) he would be on house arrest with no privacy because why reward him and set him free for cheating make him suffer.

    They are equally at fault If you are married you are fully AWARE you are married cheating is a choice, it is a load of bullshit that it is "harder for the man to resist when a woman leads him on.". A man is no less married than a woman is.

    The one who's married is at fault. The person they're cheating with isn't at fault. They aren't the reason the married person is cheating in the first place. Knowingly involving yourself with someone who's married doesn't make you the wrecker of that person's home. It's totally the fault of the married person who cheats.

    Bunch of morons on here.

    The problem with our society is we are constantly trying to find someone to blame for our problems.

    It is no one's fault but the one that commited the adultery.

    A child kills his class mates with a gun, and it's the guns fault, not the parents of the child.

    Someone spills coffee on their lap and its the cups fault, not the person.

    A child is doing bad at school it is the violent video games, and not the parents.

    See what I mean?

    It is a sin no matter what your sex. It takes two to tango. Both are equally to blame.

  • It's harder for a guy to control himself when the woman leads him on - but I have no idea what you're talking about, most of the people answering the questions are 13 year old females and ALWAYS say it's the guys fault.
