do you blame your partner or the other person more? i think it's normal to blame both people...but who do you blame more...and do you blame yourself at all? give percentages if you can. this is intersting. i would blame myself more than the other two, i'm pretty sure.
Who do you blame if your partner cheats?

I don't really care if they cheat and I find out about it it's over. Because if I can control myself in the face of adversity they damn well can practice the same. I refuse to blame myself for the actions of another person - they have free will I'm forcing them to do nothing nor do I excuse failure to please them as reason to cheat or to blame myself.
Because if I have a problem with them I'm going to address it TO them.
I expect the same to happen if they have a problem with something I am or am not doing.
Guilt is an emotion that I feel is a waste of time to indulge in. Although I do have plenty of regrets I just shrug my shoulders, make sure I don't repeat the mistake and move on.

do you take it as a personal insult if someone cheats on you?
meaning, do you think that when people cheat, they are doing it, not to gratify themselves, but to intentionaly hurt the person they are with?

...sorry to blabber...
do you assume that, if a person cheats, they have a "problem" with the person they are with?
meaning...do you think that a person happy in a relationship would not consider cheating?
perhaps this is how men and women are different, for the most part. i think that for men it doesn't matter that much whether they are happy or not with the person they are with. i mean, i think it matters, but it is not the determining factor as to whether they are likely to cheat.

Your partner. There's only ever one person to truly blame and it's the cheater. Of course the other party can be at fault just as much if they knew that the person they were screwing with was not single. And they should both be held accountable. I hate that a lot of times, the person blames the one their spouse cheated with, and not the spouse. In any case the cheater is at most fault. It's never okay to cheat. It can never be justified.

Your partner

My husband. We were in the situation together once and know firsthand that 'you' (the person) make the decision to cheat whatever the reasons behind it. We would never do it again, but if he did---he better run faster than my bullet can travel!!!!

My boyfriend. If anything (in our current situation), I'd have more of a reason to go ahead and stray but I'm staying strong because I love him but I've done nothing but be good to him so if he cheats he obviously is done with this relationship so so am I.

It depends. If she knew he was married, I'd blame both. If she didn't know he was attached, I'd blame him only, but I certainly wouldn't like her (wouldn't be able to help it).

The person who cheats

The person that cheats. It's not up to the other person to control someone else's partner's fidelity.

The person who cheats! The other person might not have any morals, yet again they might not have known a marriage was being destroyed, but the cheating partner did. The other person was simply taking advantage of a sexual opportunity. I would take it personal because of the marriage vows and her not talking to me first about the reason she's not satisfied.
This leads to another curious question...how many of the "other" people who had sex with a cheating spouse actually knew that person was married?

Your partner...no if's and or but's about it.

Blame is a waste of time and emotion. What has happened - is over. The only thing left to do is decide on your next course of action. End the relationship - or resolve to try and make it work.
In ether case - blame will get in the way. Lose the guilt and blame and move on with next steps.

Due to my extreme insecurities, I'd blame myself :/
