Can cheating be justified?

[T-Mack]

A woman for example, cheats on her long-term boyfriend b/c she became unhappy with their relationship after a few years of dating. She breaks up with him right after she has cheated, but never tells the bf she cheated on him. Could cheating be justified in this type of situation?

In that situation no its not but cheating can be justified. Others will most certainly disagree.

No it can't.

But I think cheating can be justified in the minority of situations, maybe abusive relationships/blackmail whatever but I can't say I've personally met anyone in these situations.

Cheating is usually carried out by people with low confidence. They are needy, selfish people who would like to have their cake and eat it too. Instead of being fair and be upfront to their significant other, they'd rather go around hiding things. These people don't want to be in a relationship, but the only way they can satisfy their neediness is to be in one.

If you're spinning plates, there shouldn't be a need to cheat.

I say this as someone who cheated 3 or 4 times as a major AFC in my younger years.

It can never be justified. Since at any time, the woman can break up with the boyfriend before sex is introduced.
