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 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
