I don't think I know the definition of 'cheater'...Charles Karult had a 29 year love affair with a woman while he was married. I don't know the reasons behind why he never left his wife..but he had to have loved two women if they both felt as loved as they profess to be. If he loved them both does that mean cheating is just a physical offense by definition?
Are thoughts about 'cheating' actually cheating? Catholic Church says if you sin in your heart then you have sinned. What if in your heart you truly do not feel like it is a sin...is that ignorance or devine guidance?
Guess it all comes down to existing circumstances in the end and you never really know what you would do until the situation presents itself to you.
Someone who habitually cheats... cheater??? Karult habitually cheated but it was with the same woman. If religious and moral laws were different I am sure he would have married them both....guess I am not the one to try and answer this one...since all I keep doing it coming up with more questions....wish it was cut and dry but I will have to agree with g-boy...shades of gray and undefined parameters when it comes to human emotions...make it pretty difficult to give a definitive answer
