Do having reasons validate cheating?

If I stole $100 from your wallet to take my friend out to dinner on her birthday and was cash short, would it be okay that I stole from you because I had a good reason for it? If not, how is cheating on your partner different?

BQ: How many of you would rather I take your money than your partner from you?

Update:

SexiLexi-have I told you "I love you" today? Girl, you are off. the. chain.

Update 2:

Sir Bobblebottom, Well put, I say, well put!

    Well cheating in any form is a complete betrayal of trust,so it's just not worth it.

    My spouse tried to tell me, for an excuse "what would you do if I was married before" I was so awed by this I came to a stop. Is she really this stupid I thought. I said "what" this has nothing to do with you betraying me. I told her the cheating isn't bothering me, it does but, how about the betrayal, the lies, the stabs in the back. You lied to the kids, me. And now your looking for an excuse. Did you even ask if he had any std's, did you use a condom, all answers were no. He couldn't get it in fast enough and dropped it all over her pants, her legs and the car seat. He wouldn't kiss her, he wouldn't play with her to arousal and he wouldn't pet her although she tried to unbutton her blouse but she wasn't fast enough. She found out cheating wasn't worth it. She realized what she had at home and was sorry.

    I'd rather you took my man regardless of whether you give him back or not. Plenty more fish in the sea and all that jazz but you can't get free money. Cheatings wrong whichever way you look at it so if someone can't trust themselves to be faithful then they should stay single and have fun

    No. Absolutely no valid reason for cheating. It is wrong, and hurtful..If you have a desire to be with someone else, don't be a deceitful coward about it, get out of what your in, and go pursue that other interest.

    My dear lady! Firstly, you confuse monetary values with that of given rights, or unwritten rules. As a matter of honour, it's a women's prerogative to extort the paper that unfolds from a gentleman's wallet. Therefore, I wouldn't see it as theft, only an extension of friendship with an introduction to the female 3rd party pending. However, should the 3rd party be of the same gender as I, it would be a betrayal to all concerned.

    Yes cheating is wrong, but you never own or posses a person on that level so this really is not a parallel. I see your point in what you're trying to state though.

    I do not agree with cheating however I try not to pass judgment because you don't know all sides and when someone is pushed they are pushed. Still (cheating is not the answer).

    I do say I own his man parts and his heart is mine but when I say it , it is a term of endearment and not that I actually own him. Nor he me. It is a gift. Not a possession.

    If you got a good reason then it's validated----ONLY if its a revenge tactic.

    I would rather you steal my man, cause i know you would return him within 24 hours.

    How is cheating on your partner different?? I'm still trying to figure out how you see them as similar. Regardless or how you justify either one to yourself, they are both still wrong.

    There are never reasons to cheat...just excuses.

    it's wrong, and so is stealing. and by the way, no one needs 100 dollars for a birthday dinner for two.
