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
That actually raises a very interesting question, if it would be scarring, which I agree it would definitely cause lasting trust issues, would cheating then be considerable as a kind of abuse?
If the shoe fits, and it definitely does because it can be traumatic…
That said, others in this thread have suggested that the real trust violation is the deception, which strikes me as the purer ‘abuse’. If my wife (borat) or husband got drunk and cheated on me, then the next day told me and apologized, that would still hurt and suck, but I would definitely feel it wasn’t abusive compared to them carrying on a romantic relationship, sexual or not, for months and months behind my back. But both are an abuse of trust, it’s just I think ‘abuse’ is a very intentional thing, where you are doing it to hurt the abused or to get one over on them. But definitely cheating can constitute abuse, I’m just not sure it 100% always does.
