I really wish you guys would skip the hugging thing at the end. All I can imagine everytime is me in that situation feeling the pressure that I need to hug someone at the end but not wanting to inside, yet feeling like if I say no its gonna create this awkward atmosphere for everyone.
She was the least integrated person on the panel. She just dove into Christianity and convinced herself of the straight-and-narrow path without actually deeply interrogating her motives.
Oh, you mean the woman who in the first sentence managed to say (paraphrasing): "As a cheater I can forgive cheaters, oh yea and as a Christian. Uh... err.. uh"
True. Although that one annoying girl Raven was being self-righteous and trying to impose her Christian superiority on Chelsea who's also a Christian 💀 I wanna see more videos on non-political topics like the flat Earth one.
@@Re69. But that's not their responsibility though they're doing nothing wrong by breaking up with them I've only ever heard that come up if the person is using offing themselves as a way of manipulation
She also claims everything she did with the guy she cheated with was in the best interest for both of them. Delusional!!! She never states remorse or regret for hurting her partner at the time that she cheated on.
That Raven girl was so annoying and her Christian superiority over everyone is mind-numbing. Apparently she cares about the bible until she gets to the 'thou shall not lie' or 'thou shall not commit adultery' parts when she cheats.
The smugness of the woman in the blazer is absolutely wild-to say you don’t owe you *husband* the decency of telling him the truth, after you’ve made a vow to love him through sickness and in health, to then go on and *cheat* on him and *betray* his trust because you are selfish is just absolutely crazy to me.
A flawless relationship can be shattered by a fleeting moment-a kiss, a fling-that may have occurred many years prior. You might not even recall the face of the person involved in that momentary lapse. Yet, for your partner, it can spell the definitive end. In numerous instances, one partner discovers betrayal, a grave error committed in a moment of recklessness. By the time the truth surfaces, the partner once cherished has moved on, leaving the betrayed to embark on the arduous journey of healing anew. This scenario isn't confined to the past. A couple in their 70s found that other cheated them in their 30s they divorced Therefore, after solemnly vowing to stand by your partner in sickness and in health, to then betray that trust out of sheer selfishness is utterly incomprehensible to me. Simply because you possess the capability to do something doesn't mean you should. Theology should remain a thousand feet away from practical, real-world decision-making.
Sad thing is I'm almost positive she has a tic tok page called "The other woman and the wife" where she pushes this narrative constantly and is really dismissive of the betrayed and makes it seem like cheating is okay. She's messed up and still doing whatever she can to make what she's done okay
Chelsea seems like the type of person who thinks she has figured it all out and therefore knows better than everyone else. It was so irritating to watch her treat others in such a patronizing way.
you can tell from the way both chelsea and raven were speaking and wording things that they view their subjective opinions on topic as fact and the superior way of thinking. 🙃
i thought i was the only one who noticed this since no one really mentioned it. She was treating the others in such an odd way, smiling/clapping whenever she "proved" a point (even though this isn't a debate competition), yet to get there she had to contradict herself many times to get there, even being called out on her hypocrisy.
I was gonna say I felt the same about raven “I believe in the cross, and the Bible, the whole Bible, not just one portion of the Bible” like girl get over yourself😂
Everyone in this thread is attacking Chelsea but it was really Raven who was the manipulative one. She dove head-long into Christianity, called herself "saved," and didn't integrate any of her shadow side. The red flags are never ending.
@@Orius25 i think the people there noticed did you see at the end how everyone were talking and hugging and no one talked to or gave her a hug lol she's kinda just standing there.
I see her as someone who realised cheating was the biggest mistake of her life. She knows what she did, she knows how she felt, and she hates that she's done it. That's how i see her, my opinion !
I was thinking this too, she sees everything from the perspective of whats best for her and what benifits her. Theres no room in her head for thinking about someone elses feelings
@@anne-beritgunhildson598 Agreed, a relationship is about US not about YOU as an individual anymore. Marriage is supposed to be a union of two people. If someone can't think as a team and compromise for the sake of the relationship, then they shouldn't even be in one.
Hearing Chelsea say “what if you have a partner that’s suicidal” trying to justify not disclosing cheating made me roll my eyes. Like quit coming up with hypotheticals and doing mental gymnastics and just be real with yourself. You did something bad to somebody and they deserve to know so that they can heal properly instead of looking for answers.
If people were that truthful about things, they wouldn't have cheated in the first place. You see things as black and white but partners have to take accountability for their spouse's feelings at some point. If you've been with someone for x amount of time you could guess how they'll react to the truth.
@@stamzthehuman897 because he can tell? Maybe the person is South African? I'm British and I get how people can get confused between British and South African accents but ultimately, he does not sound British.
I appreciated both sides a lot. Mainstream narratives often focus on the victim. We seldom get a nuanced conversation from the cheaters, and especially not between the cheaters and cheatees in one setting. It was a rare opportunity.
It looks like she is a life coach. That is an unregulated title in America and obtaining training to be a life coach is up to the individual. You can be a life coach without any training. To be a counselor in the US, someone has to have a master’s (or a bachelors in some states) and have a license to offer counseling. Edited for clarity.
@@Taylorswiftarmpitsweathmm I can see why that is okay, but I feel like this could just make the woman get more abused and put her in a worse situation if the abuser were to find out
@@TaylorswiftarmpitsweatI feel like if you are in an abusive relationship, you cheating and getting caught will 100% make things a lot worse for your safety. I think your safety should be no.1 priority rather than cheating on your abuser, not because it isn't moral but because you are literally just putting yourself in danger.
@@martingarno9815 Confused by what you mean. How would my being a therapist stop me from diagnosing her with a mental health disorder? What medications would you prescribe somebody with a narcissistic personality disorder? A psychiatrist would be unnecessary in this instance.
I clocked her as one before she even spoke. Autism rizz at work once again lol. No but for real, she's insane. Look in her eyes and look at her body language and how she tries to police everyone around her, and her subtle little passive aggressive jab at the guy who mistakenly walked forward for the final(?) question. I would not trust her in a room with ANYONE.
If your so worried about not telling someone that you cheated cuz of their mental health or the way it’ll effect them…. THEN WHY DID YOU CHEAT IN THE FIRST PLACE💀 what a self centered narcissist
I think Sophie was the only Cheater that has come to terms with the fact that what she did was awful. The others did some mental gymnastics to be like, "but I'm better now" whereas she was like "i promised myself and my partner that if I started feeling that way again and wanted to cheat, I would tell him." I think that she was more honest than the others because she also was cheated on
Thank you for your kind words. I did a lot of work both in and out of therapy to find the root causes of my repeated cheating and to become a better version of myself. I haven't cheated on anyone in over 5 years. I can't take back the hurtful things I've done or said, but I can work every day to be a better person.
@@sophiemilkes I also really appreciated that you talked about how learning you didn't have to forgive was a way of healing and that it eventually becomes indifference. My recovery from things in life has generally been atypical, and it took me a long time to find because I didn't know there were ways. I couldn't forgive my mom, so I felt like I could never get better because the narrative is you have to forgive for yourself. When I learned it doesn't have to be that way, I was free. I don't forgive my mom, but I also don't have any pent up negative energy towards her either. Sometimes when I talk about this, people who did do the "typical" route for recovery get defensive and push back that I must be holding onto anger and things. I don't know, it's just frustrating when I just want to share with people that recovery isn't one specific path, so thanks for vocalizing it too.
Chris saying he cheated because he didn't have a father figure... Bruh that makes no sense 💀 i know plenty people without father figures who don't cheat, just making up excuses
It's only one piece of the puzzle that I'm trying to figure out. I don't blame my actions on any one part of my past. I take full accountability for my actions. I'll always be a work in progress. ✌🏻
It reminds of that meme where guys say "I cheated because my grandma died two years ago and I didn't have a dad and one time my mom put me on restriction and I had a dog that was hit by car" or something lol Like what bro?!
People who come from single parent households are statistically much more likely to cheat. It's not an excuse, but it does explain what makes some people more prone to cheating than others. Understanding human psychology and behaviour is not the same as justifying it.
@@chrissiroisit’s almost like you didn’t delve deeper and give more clarification that made sense lol @elisestevenson9120 him saying that he didn’t have a father was not his excuse for why he cheated. It was a prefacing statement into the real reason that was he was raised by and primarily surrounded by women and learned to crave their attention and what not. THAT was the reason he was a cheater.
@@MrStevo411 well, it wasn't like this was going to answer all of the questions. It was a very limited discussion and there are so many pieces that go into our dysfunctions. I'm on a quest to just be a better person and being a part of this conversation was interesting to say the least. ✌🏻

Blonde lady saying “we all play a part in cheating society included” euhm what do I have to do with you deciding to go mess with someone else ??? The cheaters were really trying to convince themselves that what they do/did is okay when it never is.
Yes I couldn’t believe her saying that! How does society cause you to cheat?!! 😅 I couldn’t believe anyone was nodding along with anything that arrogant woman said!!!
i think it has less to do with society, more childhood, the community you were brought into, and the values you were born into/raised around. hurt people hurt people and thats probably why people cheat in the first place. still unjustifiable though dont get me wrong!

@@mahadewiiiiso arrogant! And completely delusional with half of the things she was saying
I think of the pain of a partner maybe my husband or wife one day cheating and nothing came of it (always protected, contraception, they already cut it off, has stopped and decided they are dedicated to me) while I had no idea thinking my marriage is going great, and because of their own feelings of guilt they tell me and decide that I have to be judge, jury, and executioner just so they feel "accountable" and "absolved" meanwhile I'm devastated, lost all self-worth, my whole life has fallen apart and I'm traumatized and devastated over something already done and managed. It's not my emotional burden to bare. I rather not know.
@@torysings7468 so you would rather live in a lie than have your partner actually respect you enough to give you the facts of your relationship? Thats horrifying and pathetic.
I was expecting lots of comments about Chelsea too. She seems very narcissistic and trying to avoid any type of blame on herself. The gaslighting from this woman is astounding.
Them being suiccdal was not enough to keep you faithful and not cheat, but once the cheating is finished, now you're suddenly prioritizing their mental health and dont want to tell them so that you don't increase their emotional burden?
She picked him because she’s a manipulator and a “suicidal” type person is a prime example of someone struggling and a great choice for someone who wants to take advantage. It’s bordering on psychopathic.
Chelsea is so incredibly smart. She has figured out how to convince herself that she's not a terrible person, was able to educate all the noncheaters about how wrong they are, AND has even made a living in counseling other people that are presumably going through similar situations. Absolutely brilliant.
Yup! And tries to reason to others how they're wrong for nor being self centered like her! She admitted she puts herself first in all aspects, which is disgusting behavior.
@@gorillagripcoochie631 It’s the way she said it. Of course we should take care of ourselves first, BUT we absolutely have a responsibility to consider the feelings of the people in our lives before we act. Her whole point was I will always put myself first and do what I want to do, regardless of how anyone around me feels.
Chelsea seems very manipulative. I think she has brainwashed herself to live with what she did. The language twisting and the narratives pushed just didn’t seem genuine.
58:06 she actually councils other women. I was thinking either her therapist filled her head with delusions or she is one herself. I can’t imagine how she’s twisted some people’s minds into thinking like she does. Why is it always the people who need the most therapy are actually the therapists?
@@raimeyewens7518 definitively, I think she inadvertently said it herself. Yes, a relationship needs fulfilled individuals but to say she’s the only one that matters was just so showing. Scary that these are the loudest voices and counseling others to make decisions in life.
@@JoseAFV1907she didn’t say she’s the only person that matters she says she has to be the most important person to herself. But I see why people would say that’s jarring because we are told that self sacrifice is the only way to make a relationship work.
@Nintendoshi ur tripping 😭 intentions dont matter when your hurting someone the "intention" doesn't make hurting someone, the betrayal of trust etc etc any better. It's wrong on base level u the problem if u can't see that
The title might be “Is it wrong” but they ask a lot of deeper questions around emotional cheating, love for a cheater, and forgiveness. It’s actually very humanizing to hear for those that have been cheated on. Maybe watch the video before leaving a comment
When you cheat on someone, you need to tell the person you cheated on to give them the choice to leave or to say. Every day you don't tell them you're allowing them to continue to waste their time with a cheater and that might not that be their choice.
Also its a breaking of trust a again. I mean i think i couldnt continue a Relationship either way but i would have more a change or even more respect when the tell the truth. Becouse honesty is so important.
I agree! To add to your point, if the cheating was physical, the cheater has put their partner's health at risk if they chose to still be physical with their partner as well. Another point to add is that whoever knows about the affair has an unfair advantage over the partner who is clueless. It is imperative for someone who cheats to be honest with their partner.
@@AsapChalanor a sa victim. I personally was manipulated whilst under the influence even though i had said no sober multiple times and no drunk- when i was alot more drunk than they were. They manipulated me by saying were just friends its not cheating when i said no im in a relationship (which i had just rambled on abt how great he was and showing pics of him). They said he doesn’t have to know if he thinks it is cheating. And kissing isnt cheating. And then reiterated were just friends its not cheating and got moody with me until i gave in. I live with that guilt of the two kisses we had every day but I learnt not to put myself in that situation again no matter how much I trust my “friend”.
@@_CetarialThere isn’t any. If anything you’re putting yourself in a huge position of danger if the abuser finds out. If you’re in a abusive relationship, you’re mind should be on survival and trying to get out of that relationship.
Loved Leon, genuinely engaged with the prompts and seemed open to learn over just parroting his beliefs. He asked great questions and showed respect to everyone.
Anyone who says cheating is not wrong is either: a) a moron b) a cheater who is defending themselves c) someone who was obsessed (in a romantic way) with a cheater d) all of the above
Chelsea said “ I matter most over anybody else and I come first” then said “ telling your partner you cheated is wrong because you’re just relieving yourself of guilt and shame” BUT THEN SAID “ its wrong to tell your partner because you’re going to cause trauma” according to her, telling her partner would’ve been the best thing for her since she looks out for number 1 but she contradicts herself by saying she’s trying to spare the emotions of the other person. She’s literally contradicting herself just to justify her actions in every prompt 🤦♂️
Chelsea's answers scream that she doesn't think she really did anything wrong... she got a beautiful life out of cheating, basically. The thing is, she didn't have to cheat to get that life!! Just don't cheat. It's cowardly and low class. Own your ugliness (the kind on the inside) and teach others through acknowledging your mistakes.
she acts as if there is NOTHING wrong with what she did. i’m not qualified to diagnose anyone by any means but her justifications seem very narcissistic to me. the mental gymnastics she does is on another level. it seems like she learned nothing from her actions and it’s insane to see someone who clearly made a mistake not see it that way…
This is the thing...I understand falling out of love or falling in love with someone else but before you act on it...be a goddamn adult and go through the garbage and pain of a breakup. Who wouldn't rather be broken up with than cheated on? It's just chickensh*t to do that to someone you supposedly love.
Not only did she do mental gymnastics. I was under the impression she works as a therapist or life or coach or something based on her responses in this video, basically, she teaches these mental gymnastics to other people. Her interruptions were "this is wrongspeak, use language that makes what I did look less bad".
Chelsea is lowkey just yapping like bro asked her at 36:27 if it was love or lust and she literally didn't answer she's literally doing mental gymnastics
The whole time she gave me the vibes that she's using all these words and psychology speak to seem more intellectual and mature, but beyond the surface she wasn't really saying anything of substance. Just trying to make herself look better, yet never taking accountability for her actions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but her main takes were: she doesn't like playing the "blame game" when it comes to cheating (convenient when you're the one in the wrong), thinks it's wrong and selfish to come clean and tell someone you cheated on them (also convenient, as you get to get away thinking it's not as bad to have cheated because the other person can't be hurt if they don't find out), and thinks cheating isn't the cheater's fault on certain circunstances.
No she's not doing "mental gymnastics," she's self reflecting on how to apply those two terms to her situation because she acknowledges that there is gray area.
I’ve never been cheated on, but my brother dated a girl that cheated on him for the entire duration of their relationship (3 years). He was in tears every night and it was awful to witness.
“We all played a part” Hard disagree. You don’t get to hold someone accountable for the shitty decision you made. Not happy? Speak to your significant other. Issues still persist with no resolution or effective communication? Then end the relationship. Not hard.
Apparently shame is too much that they’d rather rationalize their actions than actually communicate their unsatisfactory feelings. It’s pretty avoidant and pretty cowardly. She isn’t fooling anyone but herself with these pseudo-intellectualizations.
I didn't find her pseudo, she seemed to be the real deal who understood a lot of this on a very deep level, with a lot of integrity. Maybe she was a bit arrogant, but I found her POV way above entry level. Like... she has lived the reality of therapy and counselling others for a long time. As a therapist myself, it's very obvious. No, I didn't agree with everything she said, but I didn't find her to be a pseuointellectual.
@@Orius25 That's how I felt too. Visceral emotions are a big part of how most people react, and it takes intent and work to get beyond that, and she had some important things to say because she looks beyond that. Yes, being honest to partners is important, but telling your partner you cheated *can* also be selfish and cruel. Yes, catching feelings or feeling a spark happens without our choice, but it's a choice whether you cut it short there or you foster it in ways that grow into love.
@@Orius25The overconfidence and the inflexibility of her ideas which don't fit reality like she claims are what add the pseudo to her intellectualism. She is frequently wrong and yet arbitrates what reality is for those in the conversation.
@@AnimatorBlake I have no problem if people disagree with her take or think she's wrong/arrogant or whatever... but nothing you've described necessarily makes her a narcissist. People should not be pathologizing others they disagree with or simply don't like. If you don't have clinical training then you have no business saying such things. Just because you think she's wrong, arrogant, or pushy, doesn't mean she has a mental disorder. The current social media generation uses pop psychology to criticize people and it's wrong. It was a huge mistake to teach your generation psychology terms.
@@starsigngirl9789Rule of thumb, if someone says they’re a cheater they’re typically a liar and deceitful which comes along with a cunning way of speaking and are often seemingly very honest (manipulative).
You can bet money that there was a counceller (just like Chelsea) involved, when Keith figures it out he's gona be pissed. Been there done that, his partner Raven is a sociopath. Letting Chelsea participate tainted the discussion.
@@MarcoAce13she contradicts herself a lot bro. She said she cares about herself more than anyone else but she wouldn’t tell her partner because it might hurt them even tho ACCORDING TO HER (she said this) confessing your cheating relieves your guilt and shame.
Let's not forget that cheaters can put your physical health at risk. You absolutely need to tell someone you've cheated especially if the original commitment was monogamous...surprised the topic of venereal diseases didn't come up.
This! So many women contracted diseases from their cheating partners. I don't think they realize that they are putting their partners health at risk by not using protection.

Well everybody sort of already knows the generalized opinion of those that were cheated on. But no one really knows much behind the thoughts of those that were cheaters. So I feel like it was nice to hear more of their viewpoint... 🤷♂️
Yeah, they really are trying to justify their behavior. It’s even worse when you consider that some of their spouses have allowed it to happen, meaning that they’re enabling them.
The fact that Chelsea tried to compare the love a mother/child share to two ppl having an affair is wild…she is extremely selfish and lacks basic discipline
its actually a real thing though - also the reason why many couples break up after 3 months is because the limerence wears off and “real” love starts. Ive been explained that by a trained psychologist
Chelsea will say you can't control how someone else feels, but will try to control how someone else feels by not telling them that you cheated. It is hypocritical.
Tbf a lot of serial cheaters have underlying trauma that they're not fully dealing with. I think they should seek therapy so that they can find happiness in themselves.
The thing is some people cheat and yes it about something else than the cheating sadly I am with a husband who is on the spectrum and have a hard time understand his own feelings. Now, he ain't a cheater but I understand and saw a serial cheater does not understand why they did cheat because they don't understand their behaviors so naturally they repeat it. It goes hand and hand with many behaviors not only cheating.
Many Christians are quite hypocritical. She just couldn't wait to let everyone know how faithful she is and how much she follows the Bible.. It just felt like she didn't have thoughts or a mind of her own, but instead showed a perfect example of what Christian indoctrination looks like.
Clearly she grew and Is growing from past mistakes bad now??? For your statement to be true she couldnt have grown. and that’s probably how she felt about herself the whole time just not explicitly labeling herself.
A lot of people think their way of thinking is the only way, just look at the comments sections. Everyone who disagrees with Chelsea's perspective is insulting and ridiculing her rather than just agreeing to disagreeing.
@@ElectronicCalifornia when people have an arrogant or hypocritical attitude it’s naturally repulsive to others. That’s what people are reacting to, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It (should) serve as a social learning tool for the person to become more empathetic in the future.
She like presented herself as an expert. I wonder if she's in psychology or has a degree or appointed herself as a counselor. That's wild. Even if she has a degree in that makes her opinions even more wild. I mean she basically made sense, yes you need to be a complete person who loves yourself to be in a relationship. But everything else was just weird.
these cheaters still seem to lack the self awareness to truly understand how evil their actions were, all of their answers were incredibly self centered very rarely did they look at things from their victims pov
When someone cheats and the conversation is about cheating, there is no blame game: the cheater is responsible for their decision and action and so they are to "blame."
I was shocked that whoever said that they "don't want to play the blame game" but are unironically playing the blame game. Cheaters just never want to take 100% responsibility!
exactly. it makes me sad that keith thought that he was partially responsible for raven cheating, and it kinda seems like she put that idea in his head. i mean the fact they're still together says a lot too.
@@rosie2871i mean, there may be more things involved, and those things may not all be the fault of the cheater, but in the end the choice to cheat is fully of the cheater. If she was feeling emotionally abandoned, she should have talked to him, and either he would want to fix that and support her emotionally , or don't care about her emotions, and she would realize they should just divorce, but she did not, she jumped straight to the cheating, and that makes it all her fault
She did a bad thing and it’s her way of trying to correct the behavior so she doesn’t do it again especially since she is still with the same partner. I doubt he wants to hear her say that she finds other men attractive
Yeah that didn’t make any sense…like girl you cheated so obviously you found someone attractive enough to get to that point. Then the husband was the one who had go re-examine himself. Like ooooh kay.
Yeah, and i feel like she was skirting around the question too… like the question was do you find other men attractive and her answer was “I can’t, im married and Christian” …ok. you “cant” according to your religion but DO you😂?? You cant cheat as a Christian either, but you did that, so???
I feel the same. Bro is great for 'growing' in awareness of how much more a husband needs to bring to a relationship then just money for sex but now he has grown, get a better woman i.e one that won't cheat (AGAIN) when something else is wrong.
Cheating ruined my family. I was raised by a single father who cried for the first 4 years of my life. It's engraved into me to hate cheaters. If I know you're cheating on your partner, I will tell them. I shouldn't know that and they should. I have always told. End of story.
@@Ray03595exactly Raven even said ‘please calm down’ because the second raven spoke Chelsea automatically started speaking over her. And even after she had that smug look on her face
The conversation around "not telling someone you cheated to spare them" wtf yea so let them live in a lie instead, put their health at risk without their knowledge or consent, gaslight and manipulate them into second guessing their intuition to a point they canr trust it anymore .. thats a wild stand point to me. If you want to "spare" them LEAVE THEM thats the truly SELFLESS thing to do lol. WHAT!?!?!
@@ravethomasthomashartwell girl no, but almost all of us know someone who has made a big mistake and then they try to quickly get forgiven and not face consequences by pushing the hurt party into Christian forgiveness. It’s toxic.
Raven FREQUENTLY posts on social media about how she cheated on her husband and he forgave her. I’m a Christian myself, but I found her points in this video just as infuriating. Attraction is natural. Just because you don’t say it out loud doesn’t mean that you are not attracted to men other than your husband.
Fr her argument that she can't be interested in other men because she's a christian woman is a bit cringe. Hun already cheated, she was interested in someone else, but she's unwilling to admit it which makes me think she hasn't grown as much as she advertises.
Exactly. And finding someone attractive doesn't necessarily mean that now you want to cheat on your partner. Attraction is natural, but cheating is choice.
Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to your partner. As someone who was cheated on, it has caused problems in my current relationship because I have severe trust issues. The biggest problem is I don’t even trust myself or my judgement because I was so oblivious. I know it’s my own issue to work through but cheating causes psychological damage to a person. It is a selfish thing to do and I’m glad Chelsea admitted she was a very selfish person. Most cheaters are.
No, not strictly. There's a certain lack of honesty, and you could say it's as bad as a lie, but you aren't lying to anybody. Yes, this is just pedantry.
@@fahrenheit2101Why are you sugar coating it, if youre not in an open relationship and your partner has the idea that theyre the only person on your mind. Not telling them you cheated is giving them a false reality and essentially lying to them. Its not that hard of a consept to understand, no need to twist and bend it to make it seem better
@@AJ-lm5dl Yeah, hence pedantry. I personally don't think lying by omission is lying at all. It's dishonest omission. I'm not making a value judgement there of course. I mean omission is such a vague thing, because one is always doing it. You don't disclose everything to ANYONE, because "everything" is... a bit much. Lying is easy to categorise objectively, dishonest omission is oddly subjective.
What's wild to me is that some partners would cheat and then, they can look at you in the eyes and act like nothing happened. That's some psychotic stuff!
This part. I was gaslit and I had to gather the proof myself because they refused to tell me. Like not telling someone you cheated is WILD. Especially like if you were intimate since! Like damn lemme know if I need to get checked!!!
The guy in stripes is so hurt :( , I fell sorry for him. This is the reason why cheating on someone is not a joke or a mistake, you are actively hurting someone who is trusting on you.
“what if someone was suicidal?” so not only did you cheat on someone that was your partner, but someone that was suicidal. i think that there are several preventable stages you would face before you even got to the point where you ask yourself “should i tell my suicidal partner i cheated?”
If you watch the video majority of the time nobody is full defending a topic. They discuss ideas of forgiveness, emotional cheating, and love for a cheater. Although the title is “is it wrong” it’s an important video about the deeper issues around cheating itself. Although most people can answer that it’s wrong, that doesn’t negate the complicated feelings that arise around cheating itself, and discussing why it’s prevalent is important from every perspective to learn how to stop it.
It is NEVER WRONG to break a commitment if that relationship is no longer serving you. Your own personal, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being is sooooo much more important!
And a divorce would, by definition, be a breaking of a commitment. So every person who chooses to leave their partner is doing something wrong by your statement.
Does that include breaking your commitment to intimacy with your partner? If one partner is not keeping up their end of the relationship, why should the other?
@vr6gls you said it is always 100% wrong to break a commitment to your partner but you don't have to CHEAT to break a commitment. A marriage is a vow or commitment to be with someone forever but if that relationship falls apart and the people in it aren't being served in that relationship any longer breaking that commitment is not wrong. Keeping that commitment and forcing 2 people who are unhappy to stay in it, that would be wrong.
At first I was upset with all the unnecessary discourse around this, and the struggle so many seem to be having to understand this, and now I'm just fascinated! Lol
The only time I can kinda understand is if someone is in an abusive relationship and could be in danger if they broke up with there partner and find somebody to help them get out.
Love the discussion and respect to everyone who participated but one thing that I noticed is that most of the people who have cheated have replaced the definition of " love" with "infatuation"
It’s kinda crazy how normalized cheating is, people know it’s wrong yet there are so many people that try and justify it. I mean you could even save the relationship if you tell them immediately, but some try and sneak around which is worse.. damn. 😭
The highest form of love is consideration. Once you no longer consider your partners feelings, or how your actions will affect them, you are not in love with that person. Continuing to work on your love is an action, yes, but that action requires you to consider your partner and your self… if you cheat, once you cheat you are only considering yourself. You are ruining the opportunity to continue to cultivate love and maintain being in love. If you cheat, you are not in love with them… it really is that simple. Stand on it, like you stood on the act of cheating. That’s accountability too.
Nah, you can definitely love someone and cheat on them. What you’re suggesting is that people never hurt people they love. If you said they don’t respect people they cheat on I might be inclined to agree, disagree with love though.
"its not my place to dictate what someone else needs, they need to tell me what they need"... LADY, YOURE IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP I THINK THAT KINDA TELLS YOU WHAT THEY NEED

She was the least integrated person on the panel. She just dove into Christianity and convinced herself of the straight-and-narrow path without actually deeply interrogating her motives.

You can think something is wrong and still do it lol. I think her point is she would be wrong to do that
Terrifying stuff... smh
she made no real argument. she just said im a christian the bible says and she still cheated.
Crazy
The smugness of the woman in the blazer is absolutely wild-to say you don’t owe you *husband* the decency of telling him the truth, after you’ve made a vow to love him through sickness and in health, to then go on and *cheat* on him and *betray* his trust because you are selfish is just absolutely crazy to me.
yes omg i’m so glad someone is talking about this !! i literally couldn’t believe what i was hearing
she made my blood BOIL
and she’s still with the person she cheated with
A flawless relationship can be shattered by a fleeting moment-a kiss, a fling-that may have occurred many years prior. You might not even recall the face of the person involved in that momentary lapse. Yet, for your partner, it can spell the definitive end.
In numerous instances, one partner discovers betrayal, a grave error committed in a moment of recklessness. By the time the truth surfaces, the partner once cherished has moved on, leaving the betrayed to embark on the arduous journey of healing anew.
This scenario isn't confined to the past. A couple in their 70s found that other cheated them in their 30s
they divorced
Therefore, after solemnly vowing to stand by your partner in sickness and in health, to then betray that trust out of sheer selfishness is utterly incomprehensible to me.
Simply because you possess the capability to do something doesn't mean you should. Theology should remain a thousand feet away from practical, real-world decision-making.
Sad thing is I'm almost positive she has a tic tok page called "The other woman and the wife" where she pushes this narrative constantly and is really dismissive of the betrayed and makes it seem like cheating is okay. She's messed up and still doing whatever she can to make what she's done okay
Chelsea seems like the type of person who thinks she has figured it all out and therefore knows better than everyone else. It was so irritating to watch her treat others in such a patronizing way.
you can tell from the way both chelsea and raven were speaking and wording things that they view their subjective opinions on topic as fact and the superior way of thinking. 🙃
i thought i was the only one who noticed this since no one really mentioned it. She was treating the others in such an odd way, smiling/clapping whenever she "proved" a point (even though this isn't a debate competition), yet to get there she had to contradict herself many times to get there, even being called out on her hypocrisy.

Raven is acting like she didn’t cheat, and that she could never, and it’s just heartbreaking
Everyone in this thread is attacking Chelsea but it was really Raven who was the manipulative one. She dove head-long into Christianity, called herself "saved," and didn't integrate any of her shadow side. The red flags are never ending.

@@Spijen she didn't, if you go to 1:06:10 you can see her standing in the middle while everyone is hugging. that was someone else who walked off
I see her as someone who realised cheating was the biggest mistake of her life. She knows what she did, she knows how she felt, and she hates that she's done it. That's how i see her, my opinion !
Chelsea is literally a narcissist. The way she tries to dance around questions and validate her terrible behavior was insane.
This!! Total gaslighting narcissist! Doesn’t like being blamed. Typical.

@@anne-beritgunhildson598 Agreed, a relationship is about US not about YOU as an individual anymore. Marriage is supposed to be a union of two people. If someone can't think as a team and compromise for the sake of the relationship, then they shouldn't even be in one.
Glad I’m not the only one who peeped that
Hearing Chelsea say “what if you have a partner that’s suicidal” trying to justify not disclosing cheating made me roll my eyes. Like quit coming up with hypotheticals and doing mental gymnastics and just be real with yourself. You did something bad to somebody and they deserve to know so that they can heal properly instead of looking for answers.
If people were that truthful about things, they wouldn't have cheated in the first place. You see things as black and white but partners have to take accountability for their spouse's feelings at some point. If you've been with someone for x amount of time you could guess how they'll react to the truth.
@@kamuilasia5813How can someone be responsible for somebody else’s feelings?
If a partner is suicidal, she should be feeling worse about actually doing the action in the first place. I have to wonder why she got married.
if you don't know, it doesn't affect you, if you do know, that is only gonna cause you suffering for a while
besides, if they were worried about their partner being suicidal, they shouldn’t have cheated in the first place

I would rather listen to those who have been cheated on, than those who have cheated while defending themselves
I appreciated both sides a lot. Mainstream narratives often focus on the victim. We seldom get a nuanced conversation from the cheaters, and especially not between the cheaters and cheatees in one setting. It was a rare opportunity.
@@Orius25 I see your point but in this case, it’s the cheaters who are trying to justify their actions and tell you otherwise
Me too
The fact that they are trying to justify themselves for cheating is rather more concerning
@@ievannn4741 true
The fact that Chelsea is "counselling" women is worrying.
she seems so proud... crazy
It looks like she is a life coach. That is an unregulated title in America and obtaining training to be a life coach is up to the individual. You can be a life coach without any training. To be a counselor in the US, someone has to have a master’s (or a bachelors in some states) and have a license to offer counseling.
Edited for clarity.

Gross how it seems like it's becoming normalizing
It's never the cheated on person's fault. Never let someone manipulate you into believing that.
I think Sophie was the only Cheater that has come to terms with the fact that what she did was awful. The others did some mental gymnastics to be like, "but I'm better now" whereas she was like "i promised myself and my partner that if I started feeling that way again and wanted to cheat, I would tell him." I think that she was more honest than the others because she also was cheated on
Thank you for your kind words. I did a lot of work both in and out of therapy to find the root causes of my repeated cheating and to become a better version of myself. I haven't cheated on anyone in over 5 years. I can't take back the hurtful things I've done or said, but I can work every day to be a better person.
agreed all the others seemed like they were trying way too hard to defend themselves while she admitted fault and changed
@@edenoliver2005if she changed, she wouldn't need her partner to prevent her from cheating again.
@@sophiemilkes I also really appreciated that you talked about how learning you didn't have to forgive was a way of healing and that it eventually becomes indifference. My recovery from things in life has generally been atypical, and it took me a long time to find because I didn't know there were ways. I couldn't forgive my mom, so I felt like I could never get better because the narrative is you have to forgive for yourself. When I learned it doesn't have to be that way, I was free. I don't forgive my mom, but I also don't have any pent up negative energy towards her either. Sometimes when I talk about this, people who did do the "typical" route for recovery get defensive and push back that I must be holding onto anger and things. I don't know, it's just frustrating when I just want to share with people that recovery isn't one specific path, so thanks for vocalizing it too.

Chris saying he cheated because he didn't have a father figure... Bruh that makes no sense 💀 i know plenty people without father figures who don't cheat, just making up excuses
It's only one piece of the puzzle that I'm trying to figure out. I don't blame my actions on any one part of my past. I take full accountability for my actions. I'll always be a work in progress. ✌🏻
It reminds of that meme where guys say "I cheated because my grandma died two years ago and I didn't have a dad and one time my mom put me on restriction and I had a dog that was hit by car" or something lol
Like what bro?!
People who come from single parent households are statistically much more likely to cheat. It's not an excuse, but it does explain what makes some people more prone to cheating than others. Understanding human psychology and behaviour is not the same as justifying it.
@@chrissiroisit’s almost like you didn’t delve deeper and give more clarification that made sense lol
@elisestevenson9120 him saying that he didn’t have a father was not his excuse for why he cheated. It was a prefacing statement into the real reason that was he was raised by and primarily surrounded by women and learned to crave their attention and what not. THAT was the reason he was a cheater.

@@mahadewiiiiso arrogant! And completely delusional with half of the things she was saying
I can’t understand not wanting to not know you were cheated on when we live in a world where STIs exist.
I think of the pain of a partner maybe my husband or wife one day cheating and nothing came of it (always protected, contraception, they already cut it off, has stopped and decided they are dedicated to me) while I had no idea thinking my marriage is going great, and because of their own feelings of guilt they tell me and decide that I have to be judge, jury, and executioner just so they feel "accountable" and "absolved" meanwhile I'm devastated, lost all self-worth, my whole life has fallen apart and I'm traumatized and devastated over something already done and managed.
It's not my emotional burden to bare. I rather not know.
Plus, it's continuing a relationship under false pretenses, which makes it impossible for a person to honestly consent to move forward with them.

She picked him because she’s a manipulator and a “suicidal” type person is a prime example of someone struggling and a great choice for someone who wants to take advantage. It’s bordering on psychopathic.

@@a.k2354i agree and i think cheating in itself is VERY intentional.
exactly
The title might be “Is it wrong” but they ask a lot of deeper questions around emotional cheating, love for a cheater, and forgiveness. It’s actually very humanizing to hear for those that have been cheated on. Maybe watch the video before leaving a comment
When you cheat on someone, you need to tell the person you cheated on to give them the choice to leave or to say. Every day you don't tell them you're allowing them to continue to waste their time with a cheater and that might not that be their choice.
Also its a breaking of trust a again. I mean i think i couldnt continue a Relationship either way but i would have more a change or even more respect when the tell the truth. Becouse honesty is so important.
I agree! To add to your point, if the cheating was physical, the cheater has put their partner's health at risk if they chose to still be physical with their partner as well. Another point to add is that whoever knows about the affair has an unfair advantage over the partner who is clueless. It is imperative for someone who cheats to be honest with their partner.

This is the thing...I understand falling out of love or falling in love with someone else but before you act on it...be a goddamn adult and go through the garbage and pain of a breakup. Who wouldn't rather be broken up with than cheated on? It's just chickensh*t to do that to someone you supposedly love.
Not only did she do mental gymnastics. I was under the impression she works as a therapist or life or coach or something based on her responses in this video, basically, she teaches these mental gymnastics to other people. Her interruptions were "this is wrongspeak, use language that makes what I did look less bad".

Chelsea is lowkey just yapping like bro asked her at 36:27 if it was love or lust and she literally didn't answer she's literally doing mental gymnastics
His question of: "when you cheated, did you meet the standard of what love means to you?" was so strong and she, once again, didn't answer it 😅
The whole time she gave me the vibes that she's using all these words and psychology speak to seem more intellectual and mature, but beyond the surface she wasn't really saying anything of substance. Just trying to make herself look better, yet never taking accountability for her actions.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but her main takes were: she doesn't like playing the "blame game" when it comes to cheating (convenient when you're the one in the wrong), thinks it's wrong and selfish to come clean and tell someone you cheated on them (also convenient, as you get to get away thinking it's not as bad to have cheated because the other person can't be hurt if they don't find out), and thinks cheating isn't the cheater's fault on certain circunstances.
Listen itnwas crazy. I was like girl you said a lot to say nothing
@@declaracionespolemicas yep I thought her takes were completely wild and audacious, considering she was the cheater 😂
No she's not doing "mental gymnastics," she's self reflecting on how to apply those two terms to her situation because she acknowledges that there is gray area.
I’ve never been cheated on, but my brother dated a girl that cheated on him for the entire duration of their relationship (3 years). He was in tears every night and it was awful to witness.
I hope your brother is doing much better now. It is truly an awful thing to go through.
@@aaliyahs9289 thank you, he’s doing better
“We all played a part”
Hard disagree. You don’t get to hold someone accountable for the shitty decision you made.
Not happy? Speak to your significant other. Issues still persist with no resolution or effective communication? Then end the relationship. Not hard.
no seriously when Chelsea said that I was floored
@@slypickle01 this episode is making me so mad lol
Apparently shame is too much that they’d rather rationalize their actions than actually communicate their unsatisfactory feelings.
It’s pretty avoidant and pretty cowardly.
She isn’t fooling anyone but herself with these pseudo-intellectualizations.
"we all played a part" - honey, I was at home waiting for my husband to come home, what part are speaking about??
exactly, its just theyre too scared to do so
Blonde lady on the cheating side was so obnoxious. The pseudointellectualism was unreal
I didn't find her pseudo, she seemed to be the real deal who understood a lot of this on a very deep level, with a lot of integrity. Maybe she was a bit arrogant, but I found her POV way above entry level. Like... she has lived the reality of therapy and counselling others for a long time. As a therapist myself, it's very obvious.
No, I didn't agree with everything she said, but I didn't find her to be a pseuointellectual.
@@Orius25 That's how I felt too. Visceral emotions are a big part of how most people react, and it takes intent and work to get beyond that, and she had some important things to say because she looks beyond that. Yes, being honest to partners is important, but telling your partner you cheated *can* also be selfish and cruel. Yes, catching feelings or feeling a spark happens without our choice, but it's a choice whether you cut it short there or you foster it in ways that grow into love.
@@Orius25The overconfidence and the inflexibility of her ideas which don't fit reality like she claims are what add the pseudo to her intellectualism. She is frequently wrong and yet arbitrates what reality is for those in the conversation.
@@AnimatorBlake I have no problem if people disagree with her take or think she's wrong/arrogant or whatever... but nothing you've described necessarily makes her a narcissist.
People should not be pathologizing others they disagree with or simply don't like. If you don't have clinical training then you have no business saying such things. Just because you think she's wrong, arrogant, or pushy, doesn't mean she has a mental disorder.
The current social media generation uses pop psychology to criticize people and it's wrong. It was a huge mistake to teach your generation psychology terms.
She’s a class A certified narcissistic. She should self-diagnose.
A lot of people use the word “narcissist” too loosely. Chelsea is absolutely a textbook narcissist
100 percent. I mean even turning it around and blaming the other person for what she did.
I like her 😂damn her narcissism is working
@@starsigngirl9789you’d be manipulated very easily.
@@starsigngirl9789Rule of thumb, if someone says they’re a cheater they’re typically a liar and deceitful which comes along with a cunning way of speaking and are often seemingly very honest (manipulative).

If I get cheated on then thats an immediate deal breaker.
I feel bad for anyone in a relationship with Chelsea.
You can bet money that there was a counceller (just like Chelsea) involved, when Keith figures it out he's gona be pissed. Been there done that, his partner Raven is a sociopath. Letting Chelsea participate tainted the discussion.
Same with that Raven girl, she's insufferable with her Christian superiority and gaslighting Keith.
Sameeee
Why? She seems pretty smart
@@MarcoAce13she contradicts herself a lot bro. She said she cares about herself more than anyone else but she wouldn’t tell her partner because it might hurt them even tho ACCORDING TO HER (she said this) confessing your cheating relieves your guilt and shame.
Let's not forget that cheaters can put your physical health at risk. You absolutely need to tell someone you've cheated especially if the original commitment was monogamous...surprised the topic of venereal diseases didn't come up.
This! So many women contracted diseases from their cheating partners. I don't think they realize that they are putting their partners health at risk by not using protection.
Yes!!!!
This!!!!
Was waiting for the STI topic to be brought up the whole time... That's one of my main issues with cheating.
YES!!!!
I liked Leon a lot. He’s the type of guy I’d want to just chat with on a park bench.

lmfaooo
People change. She’s the only cheater who admits that cheating is actually wrong
@@ancie552but she does it in a way that separates herself from said cheaters. she’s just as bad as them and chooses words and religion to make it seem like she’s above when she earned that title for a reason.

Can you link me to that. Was it the line one?
The cheaters said exactly what you think they'd say.
None of them said the obvious

yeah literally. i was hoping there would be cheaters that evolved into better people and take responsibility for what they did, etc but nope
@@rosie2871 i was hoping some of the cheated on would take responsibility for the fact they didn't satisfy their partners and evolve to do better, but it never got bought up
I felt like the cheaters spoke the most and drove the conversation, especially Chelsea. I wish this was moderated better.
Agreed! Why did he keep giving Chelsea the floor?? She was clearly manipulating the conversation and overriding other people an problematic ways. I would have loved to hear more from the less talkative folks in the room
@@juiceycrutrue. Wanted to hear more from Leon and the others
Same 100% agree
Well everybody sort of already knows the generalized opinion of those that were cheated on. But no one really knows much behind the thoughts of those that were cheaters. So I feel like it was nice to hear more of their viewpoint... 🤷♂️
Yeah, they really are trying to justify their behavior. It’s even worse when you consider that some of their spouses have allowed it to happen, meaning that they’re enabling them.
The fact that Chelsea tried to compare the love a mother/child share to two ppl having an affair is wild…she is extremely selfish and lacks basic discipline
she was just explaining the definition of the word "limerence" tho
its actually a real thing though - also the reason why many couples break up after 3 months is because the limerence wears off and “real” love starts. Ive been explained that by a trained psychologist
Cheating is cowardly at best, sadistic at worst
real
Chelsea will say you can't control how someone else feels, but will try to control how someone else feels by not telling them that you cheated. It is hypocritical.
I love how she identifies as a serial cheater like it's an illness she has that she can't stop.
I feel like she has a sex addiction.
Tbf a lot of serial cheaters have underlying trauma that they're not fully dealing with. I think they should seek therapy so that they can find happiness in themselves.
LMAOO
The thing is some people cheat and yes it about something else than the cheating sadly I am with a husband who is on the spectrum and have a hard time understand his own feelings. Now, he ain't a cheater but I understand and saw a serial cheater does not understand why they did cheat because they don't understand their behaviors so naturally they repeat it. It goes hand and hand with many behaviors not only cheating.
Like she doesn’t have to be in a relationship. She can do her own thing.
Raven saying that attraction to others is not acceptable in a relationship is peak hypocrisy
Edit: and now she's calling chelsea a hypocrit LOL
Many Christians are quite hypocritical. She just couldn't wait to let everyone know how faithful she is and how much she follows the Bible.. It just felt like she didn't have thoughts or a mind of her own, but instead showed a perfect example of what Christian indoctrination looks like.
Clearly she grew and Is growing from past mistakes bad now??? For your statement to be true she couldnt have grown. and that’s probably how she felt about herself the whole time just not explicitly labeling herself.
Its her hypocrisy that paints her so bad. She clearly has not grown and just hides behind religion
Chelsea has this arrogant, “enlightened” energy that makes it seem like she thinks her way of thinking is THE way of thinking
So does Raven, I think that’s why they butted heads 😂
I’d say that’s more Raven
@@MarcoAce13 her too she’s that’s stereotypical holier than thou Christian
A lot of people think their way of thinking is the only way, just look at the comments sections. Everyone who disagrees with Chelsea's perspective is insulting and ridiculing her rather than just agreeing to disagreeing.
@@ElectronicCalifornia when people have an arrogant or hypocritical attitude it’s naturally repulsive to others. That’s what people are reacting to, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It (should) serve as a social learning tool for the person to become more empathetic in the future.
The blonde cheater lady presents all her opinions as such fact it’s so unsettling I’m glad the cheated on people were not letting her gaslight them
She like presented herself as an expert. I wonder if she's in psychology or has a degree or appointed herself as a counselor. That's wild. Even if she has a degree in that makes her opinions even more wild. I mean she basically made sense, yes you need to be a complete person who loves yourself to be in a relationship. But everything else was just weird.
She's narcissistic. Period. I mean, textbook. Yikes
Once you cheat relationship is over.. You can forgive, but you never forget. Which will eventually end the relationship.
💯 that’s it; that’s all!
That's so true . You never can trust that person ever again. It's over
Yup, game over. Trust will never be restored.
these cheaters still seem to lack the self awareness to truly understand how evil their actions were, all of their answers were incredibly self centered very rarely did they look at things from their victims pov
if someone cheated on you, the person does not love you enough.
When someone cheats and the conversation is about cheating, there is no blame game: the cheater is responsible for their decision and action and so they are to "blame."
Unless they are Chelsea 😒
I was shocked that whoever said that they "don't want to play the blame game" but are unironically playing the blame game. Cheaters just never want to take 100% responsibility!
exactly. it makes me sad that keith thought that he was partially responsible for raven cheating, and it kinda seems like she put that idea in his head. i mean the fact they're still together says a lot too.
@@rosie2871i mean, there may be more things involved, and those things may not all be the fault of the cheater, but in the end the choice to cheat is fully of the cheater. If she was feeling emotionally abandoned, she should have talked to him, and either he would want to fix that and support her emotionally , or don't care about her emotions, and she would realize they should just divorce, but she did not, she jumped straight to the cheating, and that makes it all her fault
@@San-lh8us are you agreeing with me or disagreeing lmao
How is she not attracted to anyone, but she still cheated on her husband??? Make it make sense 😂😂
Because like most Christian’s she’s a self righteous liar.
and she tried to bring up religion.. like girl how u be so confident and so wrong at the same time
She did a bad thing and it’s her way of trying to correct the behavior so she doesn’t do it again especially since she is still with the same partner. I doubt he wants to hear her say that she finds other men attractive
Yeah that didn’t make any sense…like girl you cheated so obviously you found someone attractive enough to get to that point. Then the husband was the one who had go re-examine himself. Like ooooh kay.
Yeah, and i feel like she was skirting around the question too… like the question was do you find other men attractive and her answer was “I can’t, im married and Christian”
…ok. you “cant” according to your religion but DO you😂?? You cant cheat as a Christian either, but you did that, so???
Raven is trying to either get back with her husband or keep him after cheating. DON'T DO IT BRO. ITS A TRAP...
Unrepentance is real and dangerous. 💀 ☠
I feel the same.
Bro is great for 'growing' in awareness of how much more a husband needs to bring to a relationship then just money for sex but now he has grown, get a better woman i.e one that won't cheat (AGAIN) when something else is wrong.

Nope, cheating is justified against men.

@@ravethomasthomashartwell girl no, but almost all of us know someone who has made a big mistake and then they try to quickly get forgiven and not face consequences by pushing the hurt party into Christian forgiveness. It’s toxic.
Raven FREQUENTLY posts on social media about how she cheated on her husband and he forgave her. I’m a Christian myself, but I found her points in this video just as infuriating. Attraction is natural. Just because you don’t say it out loud doesn’t mean that you are not attracted to men other than your husband.
Fr her argument that she can't be interested in other men because she's a christian woman is a bit cringe. Hun already cheated, she was interested in someone else, but she's unwilling to admit it which makes me think she hasn't grown as much as she advertises.
he looks so sad in this video
@@jacobfschafferFelt like he was blaming himself for what happened, it was hard to watch🙁
Exactly. And finding someone attractive doesn't necessarily mean that now you want to cheat on your partner. Attraction is natural, but cheating is choice.
But telling someone straight up is so weird lol
Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to your partner. As someone who was cheated on, it has caused problems in my current relationship because I have severe trust issues. The biggest problem is I don’t even trust myself or my judgement because I was so oblivious. I know it’s my own issue to work through but cheating causes psychological damage to a person. It is a selfish thing to do and I’m glad Chelsea admitted she was a very selfish person. Most cheaters are.
The fact that Chelsea thinks cheating was necessary and couldn't have just ended the marriage respectfully blows my mind.
Exact,why can't you first end a relationship the moment you feel you fell in love with someone else rather than cheating is beyond me
She s just a B
Narcissist. Gaslighting.
That's not what she said. Also she did leave her husband after confessing to him? What?
How is it mind-blowing? When she cheated, she came home and moved out, and then began the process of moving on.
If you don't tell your partner you cheated, then you are lying to them.
No, not strictly. There's a certain lack of honesty, and you could say it's as bad as a lie, but you aren't lying to anybody. Yes, this is just pedantry.
@@fahrenheit2101Why are you sugar coating it, if youre not in an open relationship and your partner has the idea that theyre the only person on your mind.

@@fahrenheit2101 Lying by omission is still lying.
@@AJ-lm5dl Yeah, hence pedantry. I personally don't think lying by omission is lying at all. It's dishonest omission. I'm not making a value judgement there of course. I mean omission is such a vague thing, because one is always doing it. You don't disclose everything to ANYONE, because "everything" is... a bit much. Lying is easy to categorise objectively, dishonest omission is oddly subjective.
What's wild to me is that some partners would cheat and then, they can look at you in the eyes and act like nothing happened. That's some psychotic stuff!
more neurotic but okay
This part. I was gaslit and I had to gather the proof myself because they refused to tell me. Like not telling someone you cheated is WILD. Especially like if you were intimate since! Like damn lemme know if I need to get checked!!!
Don't be in a relationship if you are going to cheat period!!! All these cheaters sound like narcissists!
The guy in stripes is so hurt :( , I fell sorry for him. This is the reason why cheating on someone is not a joke or a mistake, you are actively hurting someone who is trusting on you.
“what if someone was suicidal?” so not only did you cheat on someone that was your partner, but someone that was suicidal. i think that there are several preventable stages you would face before you even got to the point where you ask yourself “should i tell my suicidal partner i cheated?”
Here for my boy Leon. He held this ep down.

Never in a million years i thought there are people who defend cheating ☠☠
If you watch the video majority of the time nobody is full defending a topic. They discuss ideas of forgiveness, emotional cheating, and love for a cheater. Although the title is “is it wrong” it’s an important video about the deeper issues around cheating itself. Although most people can answer that it’s wrong, that doesn’t negate the complicated feelings that arise around cheating itself, and discussing why it’s prevalent is important from every perspective to learn how to stop it.

If you make a commitment to your partner, then break said commitment. That is 100% wrong.
It is NEVER WRONG to break a commitment if that relationship is no longer serving you. Your own personal, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being is sooooo much more important!
And a divorce would, by definition, be a breaking of a commitment. So every person who chooses to leave their partner is doing something wrong by your statement.
@@katiedid1983 Incorrect. Once a partner cheats. The foundation for which the relationship is based on has been broken.
Does that include breaking your commitment to intimacy with your partner? If one partner is not keeping up their end of the relationship, why should the other?
@vr6gls you said it is always 100% wrong to break a commitment to your partner but you don't have to CHEAT to break a commitment. A marriage is a vow or commitment to be with someone forever but if that relationship falls apart and the people in it aren't being served in that relationship any longer breaking that commitment is not wrong. Keeping that commitment and forcing 2 people who are unhappy to stay in it, that would be wrong.
Cheating is always wrong. No discussion needed.
At first I was upset with all the unnecessary discourse around this, and the struggle so many seem to be having to understand this, and now I'm just fascinated! Lol
The only time I can kinda understand is if someone is in an abusive relationship and could be in danger if they broke up with there partner and find somebody to help them get out.

Love the discussion and respect to everyone who participated but one thing that I noticed is that most of the people who have cheated have replaced the definition of " love" with "infatuation"
Exactly. One of them even said she was in love with two people at once. By definition, that’s impossible lol
It’s kinda crazy how normalized cheating is, people know it’s wrong yet there are so many people that try and justify it. I mean you could even save the relationship if you tell them immediately, but some try and sneak around which is worse.. damn. 😭

The highest form of love is consideration. Once you no longer consider your partners feelings, or how your actions will affect them, you are not in love with that person. Continuing to work on your love is an action, yes, but that action requires you to consider your partner and your self… if you cheat, once you cheat you are only considering yourself. You are ruining the opportunity to continue to cultivate love and maintain being in love. If you cheat, you are not in love with them… it really is that simple. Stand on it, like you stood on the act of cheating. That’s accountability too.
