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
Yeah, of course those people exist, but they can learn from their actions and grovel for forgiveness. It’s their fault. Again, if all it takes is a bizarre scenario then there was something lacking in the relationship. I don’t think cheating often comes from a total moral failing, it’s because there’s something lacking in the relationship. Doesn’t mean the victim of cheating is to blame though.
Yeah I mean as much as you sound callous and assholeish, I gotta admit you have a very good point. Cheating ruined my parent’s relationship and made my childhood consequently very difficult; in retrospect I wish the divorce had happened the first time, however, because ultimately we were all better off not being together as a family, are all much happier now for it. The problems didn’t go away when the cheating did, they just resurfaced elsewhere until ultimately it happened again. I still blame the cheater, and to a much lesser extent the partner, but I’m growing past living in blame and anger like that: shit happens and people do bad things when they are unhappy people.
