First, I would say that cheating is cheating, even if (especially if) your partner/spouse is in jail or prison. When someone is incarcerated, more than ever they need your love and emotional support. Further, it puts a man or woman in emotional hell to cheat on them, especially when they are unable to fairly compete for your affections. Think about it, if you were in jail, or sick in hospital, how would it make you feel to be cheated on? On the other hand, if it looks like your partner is in prison for a LONG time, then at least have the guts to get a divorce and be honest with your spouse. Finally, you do not specify in your question the reason your spouse/lover is in jail. If they are in jail for rape, child molest, or for spouse abuse/domestic violence, then I think it would NOT be cheating in that case, instead I would call that "poetic justice."

yes

Yes, but it's certainly reasonable to break up with them

Sounds like this relationship was rocky before the jail time. Cheating is cheating. The circustances surrounding the cheating are not important.
-
Cheating is cheating... it doesnt matter if your partner is in jail or not (and it doesnt matter why he's in jail)... Yes it is wrong to cheat on your partner and even though he screwed up to the point to be sent to jail (and by the same way, makes you wait for him... you're kinda placed behind invisible bars the same way he's behind real ones)... He needs you to be strong and be there for him...

Yeah, unfortunately. I feel bad for you, though. This is why you should not marry a criminal.
-
of course, and t would probably be even more devastating to them when its done when done when theyre so vulnarable
-
Yes, in any case, whether for 6 hours or Death Row.
-
Sure and if s/he is in the service or sick in the hospital. Or for that matter, if they stepout to get some Chinese take out.
-
It's wrong to cheat on anyone. If you feel the need, break up with them before you do anything.
-
Yes break it off first
-
Yes, and you know it.
-
Hmmm. I guess I don't know! Being in jail does not mean they are dead. They are still alive on this earth. If you are married then it is never acceptable to be with someone else. I don't know what else to say.
-
Yes. Cheating is cheating, no matter where they are staying/living
-
Yes. Cheating is cheating, nothing can change that meaning.
-
yes. it's wrong to cheat on someone period. if you're going to cheat then why not just end the relationship? there's no point to it if you're wanting to go to someone else.
-
Yes, it is. End the relationship, then do what you want to do.
-
If you have to ask the question, then it's wrong. "Cheating" implies that there is a committment between you two people. Violating that committment shows a lack of honor. If you are considering this, do the honorable thing and release the both of you from this pre-existing committment. It may hurt the one in jail because he's stuck inside, but it is at least it's fair to him in the long run and your own honor never comes into question. When you look at who we all ultimately are, we are only as good as our word and honor. Give up those and you are a hollow shell.
-
Jail has nothing to do with it. Cheating is based on committment. If you promise your heart and all your love to someone and then break that oath... then you have cheated. jail is just a location... a bad one.. but just a location. Such a situation can be the ultimate test of a person's ability to remain faithful because of the hard seperation from loved ones.
-
If you are commited to him, then yes, it is cheating.

Have any of you people ever been with someone who is incarcerated? It is the hardest relationship to be in ever! This is what i think, people who are in jail have made a very bad judgement in life. They either own that mistake or they dont. It is very hard for someone in the world to sit and wait day after day hour after hour. The love of my life went to prison for 12 years when i was just 18. He begged me to stay and for a while i did. I wrote him a letter to tell him that i just could not be his rock anymore. I wanted to see other people and be free.I dont think that cheating is the right thing to do on a person who is locked up but unfortunately i do think it is common. My advise break up and if you love each other when he gets out you will find it again. I didnt, instead i married a state cop. Things that make ya go hmmmmm
-
it's till called cheating right? so yeah.
-
Yes, just like it's wrong to cheat on someone who's in the service, on travel or at work. If you don't want him or her anymore, be honest and make the break.
-
Depends on if they ever have a chance of getting out.
-
Of course it is. You shouldn't be dishonest no matter what situtation your bf/gf is in. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want them cheating on you while they are in there right? Or anywhere...
-
Cheating is always wrong. If you want to start a new relationship, end the current one.

MY HUSBAND IS IN PRISON AND HAS BEEN FOR 20YRS. I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO HIM FOR 10YRS. I DON'T CHEAT, BUT HE'S BEEN ACCUSING ME OF CHEATING ALL THIS TIME. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN MEETING OR BEING WITH ANYONE BUT MY HUSBAND
