Reply #52: a person can engage in sociopathic behavior

[datasuspect]

and still not be a sociopath.

i don't deal in blanket statements much, but i am all for taking responsibility for behavior and actions.

a starving man who steals: his action hurts the merchant. is it wrong? from the merchant's perspective, yes. from a humanitarian perspective, not necessarily.

i personally cannot think of a reason to cheat on someone that holds any water.

it's better to get out of a relationship before it gets to that point.

is a cheater a piece of shit? not necessarily. we're not talking about the sum total of the person. they might be an otherwise good person. but they still have engaged in shitty behavior if they cheated.
