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
it kills people’s souls. It’s one of the cruelest things to do to someone
Cheating is bad, but takes like these are way over the top.
The harm done by cheating depends on the stakes of the relationship, the vulnerability of the person cheated on, and what happens afterwards. Cheating can be devastating, but there are plenty of situations where cheating happens and people move on pretty quickly. Hell, tons of people get back together with the person who cheated on them.
Plenty of things are bad but not The Worst Thing In The World.
I think takes like that are immature, but I get it. Cheating was devastating to my family, so I felt really strongly about it for a long time.
It’s no fun but a partner is not a posession and people are just shitty sometimes, and sex isn’t magic. Its just a thing people do sometimes that sucks, but I don’t think it rises to the level of the sort of vile abuse that otherwise goes on in some relationships

Pretty much – the core wrong is lying, and it’s hard to see how the heightened distain some people have for cheating isn’t rooted in some type of possessory concept of relationships. I see a lot of uncomfortable parallels between how some folks talk about cheating and how libertarians talk about trespassing.
