Yeah right...and how old are you and how many relationships have you had?
Age is not necessarily indicative of how much experience you have in relationships. I met my wife at 12 and felt married to her by 15 but I'm sure people would have used my age then to prove I don't know anything about relationships. Just because someone has a different outlook or opinion doesn't mean that their experience is less valid. They may have just as much or more experience than you but may have just come to a different conclusion.
Weird. Is this tied to a self-esteem issue?
What can happen when people cheat -their cheat partner can be obsessed and seek to harm you (amy fisher), babies by other people, MOST importantly DISEASES-are we assuming your partner is being careful with the person that they are cheating with, violation of trust in the relationship, should I go on? What if they love that other person more and want to leave you?
Just questions to think about
You don't have to say "Yeah right", because even if you don't believe me its true. My age, I said in another post, and have been in 4 SERIOUS relationships. None ended over cheating. People react to things differently, the same way some cry over losing someone and some don't.
Why are Iron Age morals to be preferred over Information Age morals? It seems to me, that we should be able to ameliorate the human condition such, that communicable diseases could be cured or prevented.
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to allocate resources to those ends which could improve our standard of living as a promotion and provision of the general welfare and common defense.
lol @ the cheaters using the "we're not married line". A committed relationship is a committed relationship. I don't need some certificate from the state to determine my level of commitment to another human being. Sleeping with another person when you are devoted to another shows a complete lack of respect and a lack of will power. If you are too weak to be committed to one person, that doesn't suddenly make it ok. But I guess I'd have that screwed up point of view if I wasn't in love with someone and I was constantly running around on them.

It's not as weird as the way some people get super-riled up about it. Like if they caught their spouse/SO cheating they'd be ready to kill them and the other person? Actually I never got that, yes maybe I haven't felt the passions or jealousies or love, but even when I try to put myself in that position it still seems really selfish/wicked to go that far.

Why is being committed to one person "stronger"? People like to form relationships differently. I oppose the secretive, dishonest nature of cheating, but if someone doesn't want to be tied down with one person, why does that make them "weak"? Being in a relationship with more than one person at a time requires a lot of emotional maturity too. It requires being strong in another way.

That certificate ties two people together in ways that just hanging together does not. Fear of divorce is what keeps some couples together. If you live together, breaking up is legally no different from ousting a roommate.
