		<description><![CDATA[The person who wrote this has obviously been a cheater at some point in their lives. I sense a hint of justification.

Nevertheless, I understand the sentiment. 

The cheater may very well love their spouse, however when choosing to cheat it is acting in selfishness and the cheater is at the time of cheating uncaring of this spouse whom they allegedly love. The damage being caused to their relationship (regardless if the spouse knows or not, damage IS being done) and knowing the devastation that will be brought to the one whom they love ISN&#039;T being a loving partner. Making a choice like this isn&#039;t loving, it&#039;s hateful. They may love their spouse, have deep attachment to their spouse, wouldn&#039;t want to live with anyone other than their spouse, yet still selfishly act as though they&#039;re not in a relationship where they have someone being faithful to them, someone who believes they&#039;re out in the world on their best behavior, someone who believes and trusts them because of the love they KNOW they share. It&#039;s a real asshole move.
If cheaters stopped and thought, &quot;if I do this it could come to me never again seeing my partner&quot;, which is the reality of cheating, maybe it would stop them. 
Most cheaters don&#039;t think, though, do they. They just act impulsively because it seems fun at the time, not considering of how much fun it won&#039;t be picking ip the pieces later of the relationship they actually want to be in later on. Morons. 
It&#039;s never really THAT tempting. I&#039;ve been in situations where there was mutual attraction, those situations will always arise in life, and you just behave right and make clear boundaries. If cheaters would conquer their insecurities rather than seeking attention from &quot;someone new&quot; to make themselves feel good they&#039;d be a lot better off. I pity cheaters; poor low-self-esteemed cheaters need a good ego stroke to feel good about themselves. Disgusting. 

If you want a marriage and have a person devoted to staying with your ass until you&#039;re old and fat ACT LIKE YOU&#039;RE MARRIED. If you don&#039;t want to behave like a married person, you shouldn&#039;t be married at all. Be authentic. 

Cheating is SO stupid, thoughtless, and selfish. If you want to be with other people why not be in a polygamous relationship, at least this way you&#039;d be being honest.

If you truly love someone you make loving choices and put your partners emotions before your own. Love involves sacrifice, compromise, and caring for the others needs. If all married people thought about their partners needs before their own, cheating wouldn&#039;t happen. 

Cheaters like to blame their partner or the relationship being not everything they wanted it to be. Why not look at yourself, what did you bring to the table that made your relationship suffer before the cheating took place. YOU. Take responsibly for your own idiotic actions.

If you were able to keep your marriage after infidelity then you were shown grace; you didn&#039;t deserve it. Your spouse really loves you for taking the risk of continuing a life with you. Earn the relationship, learn how to cherish your spouse the way you should, they&#039;re putting a lot of faith in you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;There’s definitely something changing about the moral status of the N-word.&quot;

I think the source of the change is not so much about the moral status of anything as it is what &quot;the N-word&quot; really is. As time goes on and as more non-black people are exposed to the word and hip-hop culture in general, we&#039;re seeing a greater and greater split between &quot;nigger&quot; the slur and &quot;nigga&quot; as in dude or whatever. We might think it&#039;s in poor taste for a white person to tweet &quot;niggas in Paris,&quot; but does anyone really think that that&#039;s even remotely similar to tweeting &quot;niggers in Paris&quot;?

Out here in the former Soviet Union (specifically Georgia the country), it&#039;s not uncommon for people to stop black people on the street and say something like &quot;What&#039;s up, nigga?&quot; Petty stereotyping aside, what&#039;s notable about this is that these people, who usually know very little English, are aware of this word only in its dude-meaning, and don&#039;t have the slightest idea that the word is offensive. If unbiased outsiders can&#039;t see any connection between the two meanings, maybe it&#039;s because there isn&#039;t much of one.

On a related note, you might be interested in a post I made about a Georgian word which might or might not be a slur:

		<description><![CDATA[I believe that a big reason people cheat and don&#039;t leave their significant other is fear. They fear what life would be without them especially if they have been together for way to long. They fear being single. They fear being confronted. They fear the guilt they will feel from the pain they will inflict. They fear simply ending the relationship, because they dont have the courage to do it. To me this is cowardice, plain and simple. If you fear a life without your significant other yet you feel the need to cheat, instead of working so hard to cover up your infidelities try at least half as hard to fix whatever it is that your current relationship is lacking. Talk to your partner and let them know how you feel. Being honest about having thoughts of cheating is less harsh than admitting to actually cheating. It&#039;s important to also think about how you will eventually hurt the person you&#039;re cheating with. They are just as important as your significant other even thought it may not seem to you so. They have just as many thoughts and feelings as any other person does.

I jumped to a couple of different tangents here but I was trying to make a point. Cheating is wrong, plain and simple. The only exception I might add is in cases where someone is in a relationship not by their own choice and they do not have the freedom to leave that relationship for one reason or another.]]></description>
