Cheating obviously isn't a good thing but I find it strange that the popular culture on relationships dictates that one should be willing to do anything for love yet cheaters are deserving of being burned alive even if they find love outside of their relationship.
There is a considerable difference between being in a committed relationship and fucking other people and being in a relationship that isn't working out and falling in love with someone else. So long as you're willing to violate the terms of your relationship then you should be considerate enough to end it. However, cheaters are really only those with the intention of having their cake and eating it too.
It's convenient enough to see cheaters as the scum of the earth but often enough it happens that we stay in relationships well past their expiration date, doing little things until it becomes so intolerable that we're either left with no choice but to call it off or we find someone else that strikes our fancy. Neither case is totally fair but as strange famous said above, it's doubtful that all parties involved should be without blame.
I don't have enough time to flesh this out any further but my basic point is that there's a considerable difference between cheating to fulfill an animalistic urge and falling in love outside of your relationship. One should be decent enough to end things beforehand but love is rarely ever convenient and those in the second case can only be faulted but so far.
