    ‘I’m gonna stay in my shitty abusive relationship I’ll just cheat on them’ is not a good POV IMHO.

    That’s literally the worst interpretation of the situation.

    A bit similar to you I can’t understand people staying in an abusive relationship - as in I can’t imaging this happening to me. Quite similar as I can’t understand how people can have anorexia. Yet it is indisputable that both exist and people are suffering from them. If you don’t have any cases within your family or acquaintances just look it up there are loads of sources both from psych help sites and just novels.

      I can absolutely understand why people stay in abusive relationships. Much study has been done on that subject.

      I’m simply saying that being in an abusive relationship doesn’t make it okay to cheat. Even if your partner is abusive.

      Do you believe it’s okay for someone in an abusive relationship to cheat? I’m saying it’s not okay, and you’re criticizing me for saying that, which suggests you think it’s okay to cheat on an abusive partner. But then you say that’s not what you’re saying. So can you clarify your own position?
