I somewhat agree but if you are going to penalize cheating then you also need to penalize a spouse who withholds sex. It's the same problem. And who needs the courts prying into whether an affair was justified because one spouse refused sex.

Lol that’s like saying you need to penalize speeding equally with unreasonably low speed limits. No one is entitled to sex, from their spouse or anyone else. The law in Virginia at least penalizes adultery, not unattractive spouses.

Just as “no one is eNtItLeD to sex” no one is entitled to fidelity either.

Sure, but in Virginia you lose alimony and your entitlement to 50% for adultery, not for not wanting to sleep with your unattractive husband. So you’re legally entitled to fidelity regardless of how a very emotional poster on the internet feels about it.

“He’s not entitled to sex but I am entitled to his money” 🙄

Uh. Correct? Are you confusing marriage for prostitution in which sex is exchanged for money?

Also, read the thread? The issue is he’s entitled to her money.

No I am specifically referring to marriage.

“He’s not entitled to sex but I am entitled to his money” is an attitude found above all in married women - and of course formerly married women.

And in a community property state they’re absolutely right. What is your problem with this fact? The husband is equally entitled to her money— as seen in this thread— and to not have sex.

He gets 50% of the assets and alimony.

How many divorce cases each year in VA where there is a finding of adultery, and assets or alimony are adjusted?

because both men and women cheat equally.

Lol. Because both sexes can do bad things does not mean we can all get away with our bad behavior.

I could have proven this easily but for an extra $40k that may or may not have been recouped. It just wasn't worth it since I wasn't going to get alimony anyway and then would have to deal with an angry ex-spouse who would have likely been vindictive. We made equal amounts of money. But perhaps I would have gotten a better deal on the house or some other financial matter. If there was a more strict rule as in if you commit infidelity you aren't entitled to X then I think I would have been able to negotiate that out of court or in court easier.

Equal rights and all. Goes both ways.

This. A friend had to pay her husband's maintenance during the divorce proceedings. He was chronically underemployed, which was the reason for the divorce in the first place.

Why do women marry losers?

Lack of choice.
