I can absolutely understand why people stay in abusive relationships. Much study has been done on that subject.

I’m simply saying that being in an abusive relationship doesn’t make it okay to cheat. Even if your partner is abusive.

Do you believe it’s okay for someone in an abusive relationship to cheat? I’m saying it’s not okay, and you’re criticizing me for saying that, which suggests you think it’s okay to cheat on an abusive partner. But then you say that’s not what you’re saying. So can you clarify your own position?
