Surely
What makes a relationship different to a friendship is love?

And surely, it's love for your partner that would (if you are a decent human being) prevent you from cheating on them?

The word "cheating" is used universally, no matter what your personal views and your own relationships, and the word means 1. To deceive by trickery; swindle 2. To deprive by trickery; defraud 3. To mislead; fool

There is no "nice" word for cheating.

EDIT: I realise that was a tad simplistic, and I am not judging anyone who has cheated... I understand there are many reasons why people do it, but as has been said already, if you're not happy with who you are with, be honest with yourself and with them, fuck around as much as you like when you are single and not hurting someone else in the process.

ANOTHER EDIT: I too have been on both sides... my dad had an affair with my mum's best friend which destroyed two families. And I have cheated in the past. I learned from it, and every day regret my actions, and will never do it again, regardless of whether the relationship I am in is good, bad or downright scary.
