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 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.
