I have a lot of sympathy for ppl who cheat, but not for the class of cheaters who would refuse an open arrangement cause they'd be jealous if their partner banged someone else
unless it was agreed upon at the outset that it's an open arrangement, i don't have any sympathy for people who cheat. even if they agree to an open arrangement after the fact. it reflects very poorly on one's character. self restraint and loyalty are essential attributes.
imagine saying this about gay ppl entering into straight marriages 30 years ago. technically you're correct, but we're also dealing with massive cultural pressure and stigma if you try to have the kind of relationship that's right for you. Prob can't even admit it to yourself.
Yeah but we have the internet now
Idk, I guess I'm not very good at excusing honest mistakes due to lack of introspection? You gotta have a sense of "this isn't right" at least. Unless it's something on the level of "not guilty bc insanity."
