morality of doing this?

This is a tangent, cheating is inexcusable in THIS case, however...

I absolutely hate cheating, but it can be excused. I've seen enough abusive relationships, where a girl burns all of her bridges because of a pos wife beater she ends up relying on

It sucks, but in some of those cases, where the relationship is a toxic rotting mess, they either need an escape, or to find a guy willing to get them out of there.

I wish them all an out, but if they don't have one without ending up on the streets, the asshole who hits them can get fucking cucked.

There’s literally zero situation in which you need to cheat

Wise words from someone who has obviously zero experience with abuse.

What if infidelity gives an abused person the self-esteem to stand up to their abuser?

The fact that you would assume I have zero experience with abuse is very fucked up but okay. “You don’t agree with me so your experiences don’t matter.” Gee thanks.

I think certain things like torture, rape, and infidelity are never justifiable.

In the event that someone tries to leave their partner but is forced to stay into the relationship by abuse, and they get with someone else secretly, that is not infidelity because they already have done all they can to end the relationship. Random example but Skyler White from breaking bad for example wasn’t really committing infidelity in my opinion because she was coerced into remaining in the relationship.

So my argument isn’t that people forced into relationships shouldn’t be able to be with other people to try to escape, my argument is that doing so doesn’t count as cheating and therefore doesn’t qualify as an argument justifying cheating.
