Cheating is, undeniably, one of the worst things you can do to another human being. Whether you're single or in a relationship, most agree.

But what about those who don't feel that guilt? What about the ones who do it, get away with it, and enjoy their time bouncing in-between other people?

Yes, there are always two sides to every story.

Things may be toxic within that once beautiful and worthwhile relationship. Your S.O. could be threatened by any living, breathing thing that gives you direct eye contact (it's truly astounding that there are people out there like this). Your partner could be, in contrast, too distant. Your partner could have been abusive – verbally or physically – and you found someone who won't hurt you like that.

I'm writing this to tell you to walk away. No matter how scary, how long you've been together, or what you've gotten each other through, you could be putting yourself in more danger or hurting someone you once loved with all of you.

There are different circumstances, I'm aware. But there are people that surround you to get you out of bad situations. You just can't turn back after you make that choice, or else you've made your own bed.

However, for those who cheat for no reason and feel no semblance of remorse, I have a few words for you:

You are a sociopath.

I have sat with many people, from all walks of life, who have been betrayed and hurt by someone who has chosen to be a coward just to have their cake and eat it too. If you cannot come to a firm realization that what you're doing is wrong, I strongly suggest therapy.

The emotional damage you will cause is far greater than manipulation itself. I've seen both men and women fall to the pits of their own mind, wondering if they're good enough, if they're worth the extra time. You cannot take back the damage done. They will always wonder, even in the back of their minds in the darkest of nights with the smallest of thoughts, if they will ever be worth anything to anybody.

All because of you.

It is disgraceful and, typically, unforgivable. I commend those who are able to forgive and stay with their S.O., but that must be one of the hardest things ever. To know that someone strayed hurts.

Still, I do understand that it could hurt worse if they strayed and decided to stay with their lover.

All people are different. Cheating has become very complex in a social world. "Micro-cheating" – when you progressively begin to talk to other people and hide it from your partner – has become a thing. You keep secrets and develop relationships with other people through communication.

Sure, some of the requirements of micro-cheating are a bit absurd, but people are getting sneakier and sneakier.

Long story short, please don't cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend.

Have the decency to end it and protect yourself, depending on the circumstance.

Have some humanity.
