In Relationships.
I’ve been told that all people in an Adultery are equally unethical & blameful. I don’t agree with this; i believe the upholding of exclusivity is incumbent on people in relationships, not those without.
in other words, if someone with a marriage ring is trying to bang you, its not your responsibility to chastise them & make sure they respect their partner.
i’m curious what other people think & any radical theory on the constitution of relationships, this stuff is very interesting to me
i have a hard time equating the person who made the commitment not to cheat, and the person who’s used for the purpose. they didn’t make any commitments, right?
It isn’t about upholding someone else’s monogamy, it’s about not helping that person hurt/lie to somebody else.
this is a good way to construct it. i’ve been viewing this through a kind of historical lense where marriage was very much about ownership and ‘adultery’ was society enforcing someone’s ‘rights’—which i find gross. this takes the guilt outside the relationship dynamic
