your partner cheating on you 65.1%
you cheating on your partner 34.9%

total votes : 7256
number of people who got it wrong: 4723

Which is worse indeed. If your partner cheats on you, how's that worse? You must not have any shame if you can cheat on your partner and not feel remorse for it. When you confront or are confronted about it and to know your partner was faithful but you have no scruples that cause you to feel indebted to your partner. I read the discussion thread and some people said that as long as their partner didn't find out then it would be alright. These are the same people who get their feelings hurt when they've been cheated on. And if you've been moral in your relationship, and that's all you can do. If your partner doesn't want apart of your morality, then they don't want you. That isn't bad. In the case where you were the unfaithful partner, lives get ruined over BS like that. To know that you were wrong, and you screwed up, but somehow you feel better than if someone had done you the same way. Souns like a double standard to me. Maybe I don't understand. I don't understand because I'm the sacrifice. I'm the one who'll die for you, and I'm worth nothing next to you.

* offtopic :
The more I got into this, the more I noticed the egocentrism argument could be argued both ways, and I could probably have argued it better from the otherside. I think the heart of the matter were the ones who thought it was okay for themselves but not for their partners.

Well, when you cheat on somebody, you do it for a reason. They aren't giving you something you want, usually sex... You can't feel THAT bad, because if you really loved him/her, you wouldn'tve cheated.

When you get cheated on, you feel bad and unwanted because you feel like you weren't good enough and they had to cheat on you..SOmeone you love is giving you a sign they don't love you in the same way.

The poll makes sense to me. I'd say the percentages are about right, I actually thought choice two would have more votes.

Umm, is there really a reason for this? It's an opinion poll, there is no right/wrong answer. Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean they're wrong.

There is a thread for every poll made, I think you'd know this by now. 'Argue your case' in there.
