Courtney didn't use the money Duncan won in TDA. Courtney would've sued Duncan anyway regardless if he won or not. All she wanted was custody of Brittney. There was nothing anywhere where it explicitely stated that Courtney wanted Duncan's money. In the Beth ending, I think you're missing the point that Courtney tried to sue the show for Duncan. She wasn't doing it for herself, but because she geniunely felt Duncan deserved the win--which, might I add, was an unsuccessful lawsuit. Courtney wasn't a perfect girlfriend, agreed, but that doesn't give Duncan the right to cheat on her with her bestfriend.

It's interesting that you say that no one deserves "to be treated that way" and yet you say that Courtney deserves to be cheated on. I'm not really seeing the connection there, but I do see the hypocrisy in your statements.

"So in your view someone who beats the other up doesn't deserve to be cheated on."

YES. That is exactly my view. If you don't like the person you're dealing with, then you have the power to not be in the relationship anymore. However, if you cheat on someone with your lover, than you are admitting that you are just as bad--if not worse--than they are. Only someone with dignity and self-respect would have the courage to break-up with your partner and it's not stupid or naive to beleive in that concept. It's called loving your fellow man as you love yourself. Would you like to be cheated on? Would you prefer for your lover to "drift away" never to talk to you again, leaving you clueless as to the status of your relationship? Or would you rather have the talk and get it over with and (ironically) drama-less?

That's kinda the right thing to do in every sense. You're not obligated to be in a relationship with someone you can't stand. The correct course of action is to break-up with them clearly and definately. Not doing so is akin to being a player--jumping from one girl to the next just because of personal disagreements you may have with your partner and the fact that you've deluded yourself into thinking that it's somehow okay to cheat and lie to your lover tells me much more about your sense of morality than you may think.
