A question about cheaters?

If you realize that someone is married or in a serious relationship, and you decide to sleep with that person...how are you any less of cheater than they are?

Aren't you just as much a cheater if you are willing to have sex with someone you know is married or in a relationship?

If not, why?

Update:

Also if you didn't know that someone was married or in a relationship, but then find out they are and don't break it off...aren't a cheater?

    I do consider them cheaters to a point but Not on the same level as the ones in the relationships. The outside party can't make the other cheat on their spouse. The person in the relationship could always say no at anytime. The second party might be enabling but I still say the person in the relationship is the real scum.

    No woman can make a man cheat on his wife just like no man can make a woman cheat on her husband.

    No, because the person sleeping with a married one is single.

    The married one is in a committed relationship, the one who is sleeping with someone married isn't. Someone who is married should have enough power and self-control to simply walk away and say no.

    Not really, because it is up to them to decide what is or isn't OK in their relationship. Some relationships are more open than others, and some might be almost over for reasons other than cheating, and some people are in relationships that are just cold and unrewarding. It is not for you to figure out whether cheating around is or is not OK for that relationship at that time.

    If you know that they are married or in a sound relationship you do not think that you are worth very much and yes you are as guilty as the other person is. OH they will leave them for me and they will leave you for someone else once they get board.

    unless they are also in a relationship they are not a cheater because they are not cheating on anyone, they didn't make any commitment or promises to his wife/girlfriend. it does however make them a horrible person. the other woman is irrelevant. I used to hate the other girl so much because SHE had sex with him, SHE wouldn't leave him alone, SHE almost broke up our family, SHE was a liar, SHE talked sh*t about me, and SHE ruined my life... um but then she went away and he found another she... again I blamed her.. then she got tired of him and he found a 3rd she for me to hate... then it dawned on me. none of them were special the only thing they had in common was they believed HIS lies about me and were cool with HIM cheating on me with them. the obvious truth? nothing to do with them, it all comes back to HIM.

    I think the single person is despicable and I think they are selling themselves short by choosing someone that doesn't chose them first. But the married person is cheating on their vows, their wife, and risking the security and happiness of their own children.

    If I'm single, then I'm not cheating.

    It's that simple.

    Does it really matter? It takes two to tango. Sometimes the married person does not tell the other they are. Or if they know, they might think he/she is not happy at home. People dont go around and cheat for the heck of it. If your being cheated one ask yourself why? To answer your question. no. The married person is.

    Only women cheat. Especially feminists.
