It is strange how many people are concentrating on the feelings of the "cheated on", rather than the feelings of the condemned "cheater".
Cheating is dishonest, often abusive, behavior. That doesn't make the cheated-on flawless. If we're talking about cheating, then the only person it matters to talk about is the cheater. And while their feelings are often very understandable, it doesn't excuse the behavior.

Here's my experience.
Some submissives are in unpleasant marriages (includes "relationships").
Some have a stone cold husband.
Some have a husband no longer interested in a physical relationship.
Some may have a husband who has already cheated.
Some may have had experiences that we are in no position to know about.
Get couples counseling and/or leave.

But yes, they have dependant children.
So she should walk out, split the family, hurt the children?
Yes. Raising children in a toxic environment harms them far more than "splitting the family". Kids 100% pick up on that shit no matter how well you think you're hiding it.

So she talks to her husband about her needs. Not only does he not understand, but he flies off the handle.
Rages.
Despises her.
How does she know he will not tell their friends, their wider family - or employer?
Most subs know their husband better than we do.
So if she is terrified of speaking to him about her needs because she knows exactly how he will react, what does she do next?
Perhaps some of those who have rushed into the pulpit to preach, could tell her.....
Golly, that really sounds like a lot of reasons to leave a toxic relationship!

I have met subs who are OK with "cheating", for numerous reasons.
However, I have also met subs who are going through agony.
Self torture.
Self recrimination.
Overwhelming guilt at even considering this option.
And you know what?
She is doing it entirely alone!
Yes, on her own.
No-one to speak to.
Can't go to anyone, her family, her friends - or anyone else about this crippling "need".
So she comes on here.
And gets guilt-stormed.
Brilliant!
Therapy exists. People on here who support them while advising against cheating exist. I think you're really reading into shaming the person vs condemning the behavior.

And no, I haven't finished:
So how about the thousands of attached male submissives who keep hundreds of Pro-Dommes in business?
Have they all had heart-to-heart chats with their wives beforehand?
Have they bent over backwards to try to convince her to change?
Should FinDommes issue a questionnaire to all prospective clients, to ensure that this is the case?
Or is there one rule for males - and a different rule for females?
Just asking.......
Rules are the same for males/nb/everyone. Don't know why you'd think differently. I know that none of this is directed to me, specifically, but the first person I mentioned my irl example of was my friend cheating on his wife. It's shitty and toxic as fuck.
If both people are cheating, you've got a de-facto open relationship you've just been too immature to discuss/articulate/agree to.
Barring some extraordinary circumstances, there's no good reason to choose cheating over opening up the relationship or ending it.
If the relationship is abusive, I'd hardly have any sympathy for the cheated-on, but the cheater would still be better off to get the hell out.
