Cheating on your partner is a serious offense to most, but these people took it in stride. Instead of trying to hide their infidelity or apologize for it, they're taking the offensive. They're like, "Sure, I cheated, but have you considered how this is your fault and not mine?"

Relationships are all about respect and trust and communication. But mainly, both parties need to be happy together. Issues arise when one person is ready for a change, while the other is still happily committed to the relationship. Some people feel like cheating is the only option, if breaking up is too difficult or painful. But cheating is a horrible way to treat your partner, and for most people, it's one of the most hurtful things to go through in your romantic life.

That's why it's so infuriating when people try to make their cheating seem less serious than it actually is. These folks below shared their former partners' utterly pathetic reasons for cheating, like one person who insisted that college was the perfect time to cheat, or another who was tempted because their love interest brought them candy. Excuses, excuses, they were still unfaithful.
