Is it ok to cheat on a cheater?

Move on and leave the cheater. I'd rather have that kind of negativity out of my life rather than making more.

I personally would not want to drop to the level of a cheater. If someone cheats leave them and move on in a positive direction.

Cheating is wrong, but if the relationship is good otherwise then maybe they should just mutially agree to open the relationship. I have never been in an open relationship, so I couldn't tell you how well that they worked but I did have a relationship with a girl in the past where we would take time off from each other, and in between we would both have relationships with other people. If we would have stayed together I'm sure that we would have just opened up the relationship because we started talking about that a week or so before I left her for good.

I don't think it's ever okay, in any situation. Like many others already said, it would be so much easier to just leave the relationship and move on!

In my opinion, no. It's never okay to stoop to their level. Just break up with them and move on, find someone better who will treat you with the respect you deserve.

If you did it would make you just as bad as they are.

If he cheated on you, then how is it you ended up with an additional partner instead of him being with another woman? Or was he cheating on you with guys?
I hate to answer for Airen, (I hope it's OK Airen) but Airen and her husband and their life partner (Arch) are in a polyamorous consensual open relationship. Kinda like a "Brother Husband" situation.

It isn't cheating.

Nope, cheating is never ok. Just leave the relationship before getting into goofy games like that.

I'd have to say no it is never ok! I'm a firm believer in doing the right thing, even if the person has done you wrong. I believe in showing kindness most to those who have done you wrong. I mean really, that's a revenge all on it's own. I have seriously, only gotten revenge a small handful of times in my life. I believe my revenge count is 4 times. One being that I signed my sister up for those jehovah witness things where they come to your home and spend all day there. It was wrong, but in the end I actually ended up with some great books they had left her! I don't care for revenge and thankfully, I rarely get the urge to get revenge. I know it can be tempting, but chances are you'll only end up hurt even worse by doing so.

I believe in karma to an extent. I do believe that what goes around comes around. I didn't until I peed in someone's drink years ago & then only about 9 months ago accidentally drank my own pee! (Long story) But I immediately knew it was karma! That also, is one reason why I don't care for revenge.

Another strong belief I have is being faithful. I would rather know I left the relationship being the good guy rather than being just as low as the bad guy.

No. It's not okay.

But it's totally okay to dump them.

open up the relationship and be completely honest and transparent with one another.

If I were to cheat, having been cheated on would be the ONLY reason I'd ever do it. Chances are, it would be out of spite and to get "revenge". I'd cheat, then break up with them afterwards. I don't deal well with being cheated on.

If it hurt you, why would you do that to someone else, even the person who hurt you. If you don't want to be with someone, get out of the relationship, simple as that

After my wife cheated on me, believe me, I thought about it long and hard. If you don't plan on staying with your cheater, then I suppose it doesn't matter. However, if you intend to stay with him or her, then it's not okay. You're doing it for revenge and that never works out well...

No. I do not feel it is right to cheat on a cheater. I know that they cheated, but you don't need to do it. If your not happy, get out of the relationship.

I won't say that it would never ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, be okay. But in the vast majority of cases, I can't see it doing anybody any good. If things have gotten that bad, it's probably just time to break it off.

I thought about that before, when I was in a relationship with a guy who had cheated on me. I wanted to get back at him, but I didn't. I would never let myself stoop down to that level. Instead of wanting to get back at him, when I finally ended the relationship, I just pitied him.

I chose 'other' because I can understand why one might want to do that but as they say 'two wrongs don't make a right'. All that cheating on a cheater would do is prolong your own pain and possible wreck other peoples relationships as well.
At least in my opinion anyway.
