Re: A psychology question...or maybe an ethics question. Or both.

For the most part, it's not the "kind" of mistake.

It's whether or not the person is willing to take responsibility for that mistake, and never again repeat it (or do their damnedest to not repeat it).

Getting into some way too sensitive shit here, but if, say, a parent was so tired, they didn't properly set the safety on their handgun, and left it out on the table where their toddler could get it. They take a nap, and toddler ends up shooting himself. IMO that's a mistake. A terrible, horrible mistake, but one that does happen. I still don't think the parent should be spit on forever until the end of the time. Not because they will probably be doing that themselves, but it was not intentional. It was still a mistake. If they go on to do it again and again, then yeah, that would tell me they're either dangerously incompetent or a horrible monster.

There's a difference between a person exercising poor judgment in the moment, and someone who just doesn't care.

In that situation, the parent will probably never forgive themselves anyway.

In the case of a less fatal mistake, I would judge their character based on whether they are genuinely remorseful and take responsibility.

If you've ever known someone who cheated on their partner and blamed them/had a bunch of "reasons" when their partner didn't do anything? Yeah, that kind of thing.

Well, for a cheater who blames their partner for their weakness, yeah.

But if someone cheats because their partner just quit being affectionate, or is withholding sex for long periods of time, or if they're separated for many months at a time, or even if the partner experiences a horrible accident/disease that reverts their mind back to childhood or makes them a permanent unresponsive vegetable or whatever, I don't think I could put the blame entirely on the cheater. I think in many cases, cheating is not the problem, but rather, a symptom of the problem.

Guy getting pressured to settle down and ends up cheating on his wife repeatedly? In this case, I would blame the guy, but I wouldn't say the problem is cheating. I'd say the problem is that he lacks the courage to live his life honestly, and be honest with the ones he's close to. Unfortunately, an innocent woman (and possibly more than one) get hurt by this. And he has no right to blame his partner when he's the one who misled her.
