Thread 33529780

Let's say, hypothetically, we have 2 dudes, we'll call them dude 1 and dude 2.
The situation is as follows:

Dude 1 is cheating on his 6 month girlfriend with a side piece FWB he found on a dating site. He found himself emotionally uninterested in his GF but finds it better to be with her than to be alone. There's nothing inherently wrong with them and the relationship. He'd feel bad for dumping her because she loves him more than what he thinks she shoud.

Dude 2 is cheating on his 5 year girlfriend with a town slut that he one day stumbled upon. He claims he loves his girlfriend and there's nothing bad in the relationship besides the fact she is nearly asexual and doesn't satisfy him in any way. His policy is as long as they come back to each other at the end of the day he'd be fine with her doing the same (or so he claims)

Dude 2 thinks what he does is less morally wrong than what dude 1 is doing because he has a reason why he does it, while dude 1 argues what dude 2 is doing is morally more wrong because he claims he loves his GF and is with her for several years.

On a morality scale, which one of the two would be a worse person doing what they're doing and why?
What do you think?

Seems to me both are equally reprehensible.

Dude 1 is leading his gf on and should probably pursue breaking up with her before fucking other women since he's set a false narrative, making her believe that he wants to continue a relationship with her.

Dude 2 has lied to his gf and never discussed these relationship terms with her, and instead of amending or ending their relationship, has chosen to be deceitful by fucking someone else.

I don't think either of them are better than the other, both have lied by omission to the reasonings for their adultery. Same outcome.

well thought out reply

The outcome is the same, both girlfriends are being cheated on.

Neither. They’re both morally wrong in this case. Because morality is not about intention or feelings. It’s about action. And the end result is the same: Both of them chose the action of infidelity.

The only difference is that dude 1 is a coward who uses people like a parasite, he never loved the GF, he just loves not being alone.

Dude 2 meanwhile may love his girlfriend. But he loves his addiction to sex even more. He’s not a coward, but a lazy sluggard. Someone who doesn’t want to do the hard work of pushing through problems, only wants the quick outcomes.

Both of them are delusional too. Both of them say “Nothing is inherently wrong in the relationship” and forget that they are 50% of the relationship. Half of it is on fire and in disrepair. So both of them are apparently not very intelligent.

I won't read hypotheticals about no-one in particular.

Both are disgusting pieces of shit. No one in their right mind cares which is worse.
