If you cheat on your partner you are also a "shit person". Do you think employers should reject candidates if they know they cheated on a romantic relationship?

Honestly, if I somehow knew that the candidate cheated on their partner, then yes, I would reject them. I doubt I will ever find myself in that position.
I did have a coworker cheat on their spouse. I certainly lost respect for them, avoided working with them whenever possible, and cut off the non-professional aspect of our relationship.

I recall Ross Perot saying, "If your wife can't trust you, how can I."
I'd treat that similarly to finding that the person had embezzled money before. I wouldn't want a person of that character anywhere around me or my business.
