I was kind of 'with' someone who was in a relationship although it was unstable/about to end. It did feel wrong and it doesn't work. Strongly do not recommend :p
 
Nope.

It's not fair on person B. Person A should break up with person B.

Macho answer:

Person B should kick seven shades of unicorn poo out of person C, then poo through person A's letterbox, and nuking it from orbit.
 
While it wouldn't be nice for person B, if person C doesn't know person B then they have no responsibility to them. The only person who does is person A.
 
It's always cheating irregardless of the circumstance, and therefore always wrong.

Until the relationship is officially off in the eyes of both of them, and the parties understand that, it's wrong. All along C is aware of the relationship between A and B, A has chosen to cheat but in this scenario C is facilitating that, knowingly.

It's black and white; though I think the point of the seriousness of the monogamous relationship is an important one. If they're school kids with a crush that flares out that is different to a 10/20/30+ year relationship with marriage, kids, mortgage, etc.

I think we all know this really. Of course it's wrong.

What a silly thread :rolleyes:
 
Unless C is in some position of trust with B (i.e. being their friend or family), then they don't owe them anything.

It's up to A to make the decision on the sanctity of their relationship with B. It's not C's issue.

The question asks whether it is OK, not whether they should do it or not or whether it would be betraying B - who they may not even know.

It's morally reprehensible, making it wrong however you paint it :) No-one is saying C is worse than A if something happens, but they are not absolved of any wrongdoing.
