Is Morality Relative or Objective?

What do you think?
I think it's objective. We might disagree on certain tough questions (for example, can a hungry person steal food) and it might be hard to find the right answer on such questions but I think there is a right and a wrong and I think there's certain things that any reasonable person will agree on: for example, it's wrong to rape someone (I use an extreme example because I think sane people can agree that it's wrong).
This is not an issue to be taken lightly. If morality is relative, why can't I rob people? Sometimes my fridge is looking kinda empty and I experience temptation... if there is no right or wrong I should start robbing people.
No one actually lives by the philosophy that morality is relative. If someone tries to enlighten me with that philosophy and I beat them and rob them, I can pretty much guarantee you that their reaction will be very much in contradiction to their stated philosophy.

Hey
I am dating a very crabby crab. He was totally fine when we first met, but as soon as he started to fall in love he got pretty defensive and began to push / pull and test. We're trapped in a cycle that's damaging us.
The cycle is that if we ge
