Lockjaw -
Yeah, some people do feel "justified" by cheating on the person who has cheated on them...Maybe only on a subconscious level...they still do it, regardless.
Granted, an abuser and a cheater both destroy trust and show a great lack of respect for the person that they are hurting.
However, Lockjaw, if you are taller by almost a foot with over 100 lbs in weight on them, you don't fear your SO - you haven't been trapped in a relationship with someone you love very deeply who CAN overtake you and literally beat it into (and out of) you why you are to stay in the relationship, do exactly as you are told and find happiness (even though you can't) within it.
You haven't had the experience - in neither an abusive relationship nor one of unfaithfulness. Therefore, with all due respect, your statements about the subject are ones based on imagination; an uneducated imagination and opinion on the comparison of the pain cheating vs. abuse.
People have become suicidal from infidelity AND abusive relationships. You mean little to the person in both types of relationships.
- A person who cheats usually feels something is missing or there is something wrong in the relationship and cannot or chooses to not express it vocally/talk it out or is unable/unwilling to end the relationship.
- A person who is abusive is insecure, possessive and, in some cases, insane. Victims in these types of relationships become a statistic: murder victim, suicide victim; many don't live to talk about what the abusive person did to them.
Pain is pain. I agree with that. However, you're able to move on with your life when someone is unfaithful - giving yourself time to heal, and grow. When you are in an abusive one - you're not sure if tomorrow will come.
