re: When it comes to cheating, who is more to blame: the married or the mistress?

I was raised in a very traditional and conservative household.
In the all-seeing eye of God and high class society around the world, both individuals are equally condemnable.

I blame the woman every time.

They’re both in the wrong (assuming the mistress knew he was in a relationship). Assigning a percentage seems pointless

I think many times the mistress doesn’t even know the person is married. If they’re lying to their spouse then they’re lying to the mistress also

If someone is knowingly persuing a married person for sex they share a portion of the blame. 5%, 10%, 20%??? I don't know what the answer is but they are not innocent.
Why do we have to split it like a pie?
If you are knowingly interjecting yourself into another’s marriage you are 100% culpable in your own shameful act just as the married person is 100% in their own
This “it’s only 42.567% my fault” is dumb

The married.
He/she is the one with the vows.

This is the one and only answer, I can’t believe the OP is asking such a stupid fricking question.
This is correct. The married person is 100 percent responsible for cheating on their spouse. This isn’t saying that the side piece didn't do anything wrong, but they have no control over the married person's actions. Depending on awareness, the side piece could definitely be guilty of being a piece of shite, but could also be entirely innocent.

The single person is single and just doing what single people do....
100% the spouses fault.
Also, your wife might be cheating on you....65% sounds like justification in her brain. Question everything

As a guy, I don’t understand how a married man could cheat on his wife. I get it when the wife cheats because women are vain and weak
In no way is this a defense… but mostly all cheating happens because of a lack of satisfaction / something missing at home. Someone is not getting something they need or want, and seek it elsewhere.

It's insane how little people grasp responsibility and accountability these days.
This has been bugging me a lot lately. People will think you are injecting politics into a non political conversation but it is as simple as you are putting it.
I think one of the main causes for this is people not minding their own business. To the question in the OP, the fact that it ever happens speaks to the complications of the relationship that we are not privy to and we are therefore assigning the preponderance of blame based on our own experiences and expectations. And when the opposite happens, the evidence is largely available, opinions are still developed in the same way. So we aren’t stopping to ask ourselves “is this my business?” and/or “how much does my opinion matter?” before being anchored in an emotional response.

The married person is the one breaking vows so there is no excuse.
That being said, if someone is in a happy marriage there is usually no need to step outside of it.
Still the married person is in the wrong.
But the older I get the more I see how women treat men especially these days and I am not surprised some men say screw this. There are much better ways to go about this obviously.
Still wrong.

You're looking at it wrongly, but that's a common thing people do with this question.
It isn't "who is more to blame" but "who has the ultimate responsibility of preventing this" and that answer is the married person.
That said, it's the married person's responsibility. All of it. The unmarried person (assuming they are single) does not have any pledged responsibility to that person's marriage. Should they not engage? Absolutely, but they aren't under any real obligation (other than their own moral code) to engage nor not engage. The married person, however, is indeed under a series of obligations (moral, legal, even spiritual if they are religious).
At most, the married person's level of responsibility is so great that it makes any responsibility on the unmarried person's part essentially irrelevant.

0% is on the mistress unless they are friends/family of the spouse

No, 50/50 doesn’t reduce his accountability.

Are you sure its not the friends husbands baby in your wife's belly ??? I mean it would be 35% your fault.

This reminds me of something Yogi Berra would say.
