Love is Not an Excuse

I had always felt deeply against extra-marital affairs and a thread in a forum about 'the other woman' brought out my deep seated dislike for such. There was this woman there who keep preaching that there is nothing wrong about being in love. But I think this phrase is wrong when you are in love with someone who is already committed.

Love shouldn't be used as an excuse to dabble in an affair. What is true happiness when it is at the cost of breaking apart families and hurting others? Isn't that just selfishness? Selfishness to gratify the selfish need to feel 'loved'. All affairs come at a price. Yes, it might feel like romantic at first but underneath it all both cheaters are just living out a lie. It is at the price of hurting a child's future and a wife's heart. They say they love each other and yet they are just using each other to fill in what is wrong with themselves. Being in an affair doesn't solve anything. It is an easy excuse, an easy way out for those who can't gather up the courage to face their relationship problems.

Karma's a bitch anyway. As they say, do not do unto others what you don't want them to do unto you.
