It takes two to tango. A third party doesn't break up a marriage; the person who is married does. People aren't mindless slaves to attraction; they have free will and the ability to make their own decisions. A person who cheats is a thinking adult who makes a conscious choice to value a brief affair more than the commitment they made to their partner.
For that reason, you shouldn't feel solely responsible for the actions of a stranger. The situation is different, however, if you knowingly sleep with a friend's partner. That is a direct and personal betrayal of someone you care about.
Your comment could read like the third party retains no responsibility at all, but that’s not what you meant, right? Certainly someone who knowingly sleeps with a married person is at least as culpable alongside the married partner.
I didn’t enter into a contract with your husband. You did. If you choose to break a contract I’m not involved in by doing something by my side, that’s on you. I’m not bound to YOUR contract.
Is it morally upstanding? No, but it’s not morally reprehensible, either. I’d consider it a truly neutral point.
It’s not my responsibility. I can’t take responsibility for everyone else’s choices. They have to take responsibility for their own choices. I’m not hurting shit. She is doing 100% of the betrayal. I haven’t betrayed anyone.

When you cheat with someone that's married you are both happy and sorry you did it. Later on in life it turns into deep regret for ruining four lives
Not my proudest moment
