> Cheating can also end bad relationships.

Um... cheating is by no means a requirement for ending a relationship. You can simply say, "This relationship is over."

Cheating is extremely harmful, and on top of that often unnecessary. Couples should discuss and explore open relationships, and if they are not open to that, end the relationship.

In virtually all cases, cheating is a totally unnecessary harm.



I can no longer edit this comment, but I want to be clear that "opening a relationship to end it" does not make sense.

There are good reasons to open a relationship and bad ones. Make sure you are seeking an open relationship because that is something you actually want.

Also make sure to do your research first. I recommend the book, Opening Up.
