  Of course the man is at fault. Absolutely..that is a no brainer. But the "other woman" is also to blame if she knew the man was married. It's all about choices. You can't control who you fall in love with, but you can control your actions and make the conscience choice to not act on those feelings. It is called being responsible, moral, ethical, an adult...whatever. The same is true of the husband.
  
  If the husband and the other woman proceed knowing what they are doing, then they both are responsible for the names they are given. I'm sorry if you don't like the answer, but it is all about being accountable for your own actions. Period.

  I believe that the man is to blame, but I also believe that if the woman knew that he was married...hell ya she is a home wrecker too...
  So you did what your husband did to you. Karma..

  if the woman knows he's married they're both at fault. it's easier to blame the other woman,than to accept that your husband just betrayed you.

  Yes, the man is to blame for looking. But the woman is also a home wrecker, when she knows the man is married (or finds out) and continues the relationship.

  If you know he is married then you are a home wrecker. If you don't then you've been played for a fool. Of course the man is to blame but women who know what they are getting in to are equally to blame and thus, home wreckers.

  The wife is just as much to blame as the husband and the other woman. If she took care of him the way she was supposed to he wouldn't be cheating.

  The term "homewrecker" was coined a long, long time ago...when women were merely an extension of the men in their lives. Men were the Kings of their castles and when it came to a roving eye....well "boys will be boys". Women were not allowed to vote, most didn't work, and an umarried woman stayed home until she WAS married...or she became an old maid who took care of her parents until they passed on.
  
  we now know a lot better.....

  If a woman knows the man is married, then she's wrong for messing with him whether it's text, webcam, voice or actually doing the nasty with him, but it doesn't make her more to blame than him by no means. I agree if my man cheats, he's the one that cheated on me, but I don't think you can just "fall for someone". Nope if he's married, you leave him alone, if the conversation goes in a topic that's appropriate you stop talking to them...you can control what you do with them. Homewrecker is too nice for you if you're the other woman. Adulterer is too nice for the man too...
  I do think women that with-hold sex are giving their men a reason to WANT to cheat, not permission. Karma is something for those "other women" to think about tho.

  "You can't control who you fall for! Even if you try to avoid married men, they will manipulate women to get what they want!"
  
  Your statement is a cop-out. Sure, I've met attractive married men. I avoid getting involved. You CAN control who you fall for. Getting in bed with a married man takes effort, it doesn't just happen. And men can only manipulate if you allow yourself to be manipulated. How the h*ll do you get manipulated into getting naked?
  
  Yes, the husband is at fault. But the woman also knows she has crossed the line. The man can't cheat unless he has a willing woman.
