If a spouse is faithful in many things but one. Fulfills all other responsibilities to the partner and the children but for some reason the person can't stop extramarital affairs.

Would that singular act make him or her a terrible person to live with as a spouse and a parent?

No!! It makes you a "good" spouse.

Cheating is very very wrong. Why would a spouse cheat on the other? The most sacred thing spouses share together shouldn't been given to outsider.

Get something straight.

A cheating spouse is an indication that he/she is selfish.

It shows that the spouse does not put his/her partner first, does not consider their feelings and has never given a thought to it that his infidelity could actually expose his partner to danger of terrible STDs.

No matter how you try to paint it, that one fact stands out. And that fact alone makes him a bad person. Ofcourse we all make mistakes. But infidelity is not exactly a mistake. It is a deliberate action aimed at self gratification.

If a home builder builds a house without a front door and put the most priceless treasures, furniture and decorations.
He has spent millions on the most expensive materials from all over the world

Would that singular act of not building in "just "the front door make him a terrible and also a very stupid Homebuilder?

Looking at it from social roles and societal expectations, it depends on the context and it depends on where you are and who you are. If you are born in Africa, Asia, parts of Europe and South America and you are a man, then you are likely not a bad spouse. But if you are a woman, hmm.. it's gobe o. grin grin

No... Most men are unfaithful but they are still good enough to their families... Its just an habit which needs the grace of God to change, it becomes bad if the man or woman neglects the home responsibilities

I wouldn't automatically label a person bad for some mistake(s).
We all have our baggage.
However, it is only normal to see people who hurt us as bad.

People cheat for different reasons.
For some, it is imbued in them.
For others, one thing might have led to another.

One thing I can't stand is betrayal.

I may not dismiss him as outrightly bad, Yes I will forgive and do my best to forget ultimately, but the marriage/relationship will never remain the same again.

why should it be a he, women too cheat

It either gets worse or better.

**Modified**
BUT, if he's a perpetual cheater, Nooooooooooooooooooocrycrycry
I'll have to find my way, biko.

I won't outrightly conclude he's a bad person.
It's just a weakness I can't live with!

This issue of infidelity in marriage is sensitive , but i always maintain one stand, that is the bible stand "do unto others as you would want them do to you".

To all men and women who feel cheating is not bad, let me ask one question --

how would you feel if your spouse cheats on you,, I dont think it would go down well....

Sorry if i am sounding righteous, if you love sex so much and you must cheat, please there are many prostitutes and playboys who can satisfy your needs.

Do not commit to a man/woman if you can respect yourself, and if you must have to cheat, you are probably tired of your man/woman..then call off the marriage/relationship rather than subjecting people to emotional and health hazard.

Re: Does Infidelity Make One A Bad Spouse? by teemy(m): 4:33pm On Feb 16, 2015
I remember the marriage vows of a mentor of mine. - To love her and her alone forgetting all others. Every one has others but once you have made up your mind to marry one, the others must be evacuated totally off your mind.

When you then do with any other what you should do alone with your one you are breaking a vow as well as putting your one at risk of infections. Irregardless of the reason, it is not justified.

Faithfulness is the bedrock of every marriage. Unfortunately, the truth is that most people are unfaithful. It has been so since our ancestors. If you can't deal with it, then move on. If you can, forgive and love again.

first of all madam this is a very shit arsed comment! What has god got to do with it, its a very simple question requiring a very simple answer, ur saying infidelity is not really bad provided he's providing for u undermines ur requesting for a faithful patner, afterall u don't really c it as bad, and as you mr nairaland poster ar you asking the question to know or are you asking just so u'd get entertained, this is by far the dumbest question ever!! What extraordinary thing have you done if you provide for your family? If you can't provide for them why have them in the first place, if you can only provide and not stay faithful to your family then don't bother getting married and having a family,you should just stick to runs girls, they need people like you!

Men will always be men. This is Africa, its almost normal for a married man to cheat. I do not enjoy bn cheated on, and do not pray for a cheating man but if it happens then shit happens so? Ladies be realistic, if a man provides almost all my needs and that of the kids and family at large why should I worry? One rule, please remember to use protection and when you are caught my demands increases.

Seriously I find it funny when ladies have this mindset. What is a man suppose to do if not to provide for his family? What is a man suppose to do if not assume the responsibility of being a man,husband and father. That he gives U all this does not make him good because that is his social responsibility as a man. It's foolishness and insanity of the highest olympian height to imagine providing for my wife as a good thing. What makes it better and not good is respecting the marital vow. I fear women like U. So much to say... Let me stop here.

The reality though is that infidelity or sin is hardly singular. Lies and dishonesty are its twin brothers.

Then there's the inability to provide the moral example n spiritual headship and that is required of the Man - the family is spiritually exposed to attacks by the 'strange' woman and others.

In addition, the woman is exposed to STDs including HIV.

Furthermore, children could be born out of wedlock and before long unplanned polygamy may result.

I could go on and on, but the point is that infidelity in particular and sin in general, is hardly singular. Sooner than later, it will become plural and then gradually engulf and imprison the man in terrible situations that may shorten his life.
