Those who cheat deserve no compassion. If you no longer want to be with someone, just leave them. Things only ever get worse when a person cheats and tries to keep it a secret. I know some people like to try to justify why they cheated, but it doesn't make it right; there's always another way. Besides, I'm a firm believer in people repeating their harmful actions if they get away with it once.

One of the many reasons why I'm sickened by humans (well, maybe not all humans) and often find myself agreeing with villains whom want to destroy the world (yes, I'm crazy) is that I feel that people start relationships far too casually these days. I admit to being old fashioned and extremely idealistic.

Unless someone's terminally ill, why can't people just try to get to know each other better and be friends for a bit longer first before jumping straight into intimacy? I remember hearing a long time ago that 1 in 4 marriages end in divorce. What's this world coming to!?
Vincent Chu
I generally agree with what the stranger said. However, I think there might be an exception to many general rules. In my game/story's plan, I intend to include a serial killer whom kills cheating women. However, one of the women was actually sold to her abusive husband to pay off her family's debt. She only cheated with the one friend she had loved for over twenty years after suffering many years of abuse.

Eh, I'm old fashioned as well. I don't sleep with people I don't have SOME feelings for. I have problems engaging in "intimate" acts without an emotional investment. People do start relationships too casually as well. But, so many people are afraid to "be alone", or they measure their own self worth by being able to find someone to be with. It's tragic, but that's what we teach these days.

Also, the statistics in America, last I read several years ago, was that 7 of every 10 marriages fail and roughly 80% of those marriages fail from cheating while 62% of the cheating occurs on the woman's side of things. I believe I also read somewhere that pretty close to 90% of divorces are initiated by the woman as well.

Too many people think that love is "The Disney" thing. That when you have it, it's some kind of Fairy Tale. Oh, you found Prince Charming. Oh, you found the Beautiful Princess. No, you just found a person. A person you know practically zero about. People let themselves be lead around by their hormones and "being in heat" more often than their logic or common sense. So, relationships fail.

It also doesn't help that a lot of people are kind of lazy in relationships and don't expect that maintaining them actually requires some COMMUNICATION as well as SOME WORK.

@Tai_MT I agree that the person who cheats is the one responsible. Too much accusation falls on the 3rd person but they didn't break a commitment.
Most cheating partners have the upper hand. They cheat because they do not fear their partner leaving, and they can keep the extra partner(s) around forever with hollow promises, wasting their time.

@Tai_MT I have no respect for cheaters so I don't want to be with one. I feel too much for the partner/family that's being cheated on.
It's true most divorces are initiated by women, but I believe it's that they've had enough with their husband's ****. LOL
You're right about "The Disney" thing (which applies to many of life's illusions not just love). Luckily the mirage fades with age.

@Tai_MT But I'm with you on many things here.
And some of your comments qualify as those "outrageous, non-trolling" posts you were mentioning elsewhere :p
@Vincent Chu I love your take on that plot. Nothing's black and white. Discussing theory is easy because we decide what is involved. But irl there are surprising elements that enter the mix.

@starlight dream I don't expect people to agree with me. We all have our own life experiences and goals and personal morals we fall back on. My life is not like your life and vice versa.
All I ever expect out of people is that they understand my point of view. They're free to challenge my opinions, but not free to denigrate them. :D

If we don't agree to disagree then we can't have a conversation. I wasn't judging your POV by the way, just adding thoughts that were coming to mind as I read the comments.^.^
Tai_MT
As I said, you're free to challenge opinions, just not free to look down on them 
You can disagree with them and explain why you disagree. However, I rarely tolerate people just outright dismissing my opinions or saying they're "bad" or "wrong" or bringing my character into question over them. If a person is unwilling to understand my point of view, why should I bother listening to theirs?

@starlight dream A lot of people mistake lust for love. They believe that love is an overwhelming sensation you experience whenever you think of, or are around, someone. This leads to people abandoning others the moment things settle into familiarity; they are convinced that because the initial surge of hormones is gone they're no longer in love.
The Stranger
The best description of love I've ever heard is that it's being comfortable and at peace around another. Feeling uncomfortable (even in a butterflies in your tummy sense) is thus not love. It's also something which takes time to create, and even more time to maintain.
Tai_MT
The way I've always understood "love" is that it's two people who share mutual morals and respect for each other. These people often want to do a lot of the same things together, because doing them together is just always more fun. Real love is a simple partnership. You are equals. It's something that can work with no other person. It does not pass.

Read up on the Triangular Theory of Love if you get the chance.

Oh, and also on the 8 different types of love as proposed by Ancient Greeks.
Tai_MT
No idea what that even is. Would its message coincide with my own opinion, or is it a different viewpoint?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
