Gee, I'm glad you are so perfectly certain of your opinion. I guess there's no other way to think about infidelity. And I guess that circumstances mean nothing to you either.

The whole purpose of marriage is fidelity to one person....Cheating is a symptom of a bigger problem yes....but fix the problem don't run to the arms of another. ....and if that's what you're going to do....leave the partner and then move on. There's only one way to look at it. I've been cheated on....no matter how you slice it....it's not fair to the one sitting at home wondering who hubby or wife is with tonight.

Marriage doesn't end one's curiousity about humanity and the world in general. Being with other people on an intimate basis is okay with me, for me, and for my wife. And I don't mean one night stands. It's the relationship that counts. As to your point that the "whole purpose of marriage is fidelity to one person" I take issue with that too. what about forming a family? Having children and bringing them up in the most healthy environment possible? Econonomic reasons? Too bad that you call it "cheating" instead of "personal exploration" or "enlarging ones' experience of life". You'll have plenty of time to be faithful in your grave.

Sounds like the kind of excuse that a person who should not get married makes to justify their behaviour. What kind of values are being instilled in children whose parents are off "exploring" with other men and women. Sounds like a total cop out to me. As to economic reasons....ever heard of roommates....and the time for enlarging ones experiences is prior to getting married. Face it, extra-marital affairs are for people who are self-centred, self-serving, self-gratifying and self-involved. Who you trying to convince me or you.....?
