And the advice is the same. So many "butthurt" people that can't get over than many do respect the notion that is marriage. Or believe in Karma / Higher power. Get over it.

The only ones who come off as angry and butthurt in this thread are the ones condoning cheating, and thinking those opposed are trying to be snobs.
No one is "condoning" cheating. Homeboy isn't cheating. It's you who are trying to place her responsibilities on him.

Yeah, people keep repeating it. And my answer is the same as the last page.

Once again, if you're helping someone do something, you're also guilty. How is it you help someone do something, yet think you're not contributing to it?

Brings me back to the legal version -called Aiding & Abetting. If a friend needs to run some drugs, and you just drive the car. You're not selling anything, or using anything. But if you're caught by the police, you'll be hauled off to jail too. Because you were a participant in the offense. If someone's committing crimes, and you drive the getaway car, help them hide-out somewhere, or blatantly lie to officials to cover for them, you've helped. And when it all comes to light, you'll be arrested too.
If you condone someone sleeping with a married person, then you are condoning cheating. If you don't condone something or think it's wrong, you don't encourage other people to take part in it.

We know stealing isn't right. But if you encourage someone to steal, or cover for them when they do, you condone their stealing, since you're helping them with it. If you'r all for taking part in helping someone do something, then you condone it. Known as enabling.

You know when they use "butthurt" they are out of ideas.

If you condone a person sleeping with a married person, then you are condoning the cheating. If you don't condone something, or think it's wrong, you don't encourage other people to take part in it.
It's hard to believe people believe otherwise. I agree with you.

I started to mention that. People using that phrase in serious debate is proof not to take them seriously.

Depending on the context of the title and credentials needed, I agree with you to a point. However, marriage does not have a prerequisite in order to attain that title. Any dumb person with a 1/4th of a brain can get married because the consequences of a failed marriage don't matter, at all, like they would with a doctor making a mistake.

Sure. There is no winner here, no one is changing the world, I'm not, you're not. OP is probably a fake so this whole thread really is pointless. Just look at the facts and statistics, if marriage meant so much our divorce rates wouldn't be so high!

This is all noise. It just sounds like you're making her responsibilities his. SHE has agency here. Act like it.

An accomplice is just as guilty as the offending party. Act like it. Sounds like you're absolving him of his contribution -because getting off is the be all and end all. Nothing like the rationalizations pf psychopaths, sociopaths, hedonists, and narcissists.

If someone is doing something, and you're helping, you are also responsible. You are also guilty. And you are enabling & condoning the behavior. There's no excuse or 2-ways about it.

Yet another straw man argument. Come on, JP.

The divorce rate is about even with the "stay married" rate. And the divorce rate is high because marriages are made of people who are imperfect. It doesn't take away the significance of marriage. There are about as many people who stay married and do it right on a daily basis.

No one is forcing you to get married. You, on the other hand, are not so content to live and let live.
