Cheating is never okay, and anyone who has been the victim of an unfaithful partner can have their sense of trust and intimacy irreparably damaged by the experience. Seriously, you never want to find out that the person you love and trust most in the world has been screwing around with somebody else - that's the kind of revelation that can kill your relationship dead, or at the very least do some serious damage to it.

Worst of all are the reasons why people cheat. Some do it out of boredom, others from sexual frustration, and more than a few people have done it just to feed their own ego. Some cheaters manage to come up with some some pretty ludicrous excuses for their behaviour. But at the end of the day, that's all they are: excuses, and not justifications in any way. So without further ado, let's take a look at some of the most ridiculous excuses ever employed by cheaters. Some of them genuinely boggle the mind.

1. Pretty far-fetched 2. This makes no sense 3. Lying and cheating go hand-in-hand 4. But she wasn't his girlfriend 5. Give that ring to someone else 6. Apparently that's a decent excuse 7. And now he can't afford anyone 8. Outrageous  9. This is simply untrue 10. ... But this one is 11. Wow 12. I'm guessing that the answer is 'no'

Don't these excuses just make you cringe? But the one thing missing is some healthy comeuppance for these cheaters. So why not check out our article all about the 14 cheaters who were on the receiving end of some brutal payback?
