Well first of all I don't consider marriages of convenience, normal. I find that extremely odd.
Yeah it's easy to be swept off your feet and have this AMAZING connection when you don't have to live day-to-day with someone and only stop by to have sex (essentially).
If he is SOOOOO amazing why isn't he worth the effort to get the divorce you say is too much work?

I'm not going to bash you because cheating is more prevalent in our society then people would like to admit. The problem is society has brainwashed people into thinking that people are naturally monogamous.
Whew... man you missed the boat here.
Has nothing to do with what society says in terms of monagamy, she got her ass up in front of people and volunteered to "be faithful" to her husband, no one forced her to that agreement.
This has nothing to do with whether or not humans are naturally monagmous or not. It has to do with saying and doing what you agreed to, ie marriage.

I didn't "miss" anything. The reason why people sneak around and cheat is because for the most part "monogamy" is the societal standard, and anyting that deviates from that is looked down apon. Just look at the responses on here.

You're still missing the boat.
It's got nothing to do with society.
It's two people making a commitment to eachother.
If these same two people agreed to some kind of open marriage or whatever, then that's between the two of them.

YOU'RE Missing the boat, clearly this is going over your head. Monogamy is a social construct,(even though it goes agaisnt history, and human instinct) society has told people that monogamy is the only/right way to go, therefore most people wouldn't be open to a "open marriege". Stop reading/respondding to my post if that's too far over your head.

How would you feel if your spouse or girlfriend was sleeping with other men?

I'm not going to argue your point but having one romantic relationship at a time and a respect for your partner is a human decency issue.

I think you are both right. But. If it were JUST a social construct of sexual exclusivity, the issue with things like open marriage would not be present. It is the notion of true love tied hand in hand with sexual exclusivity that causes the issues.
If it weren't, it would not hurt so darned much!
