[quote=Anonymous][quote]It's not that "touching someone else to fill a need" is the problem. It's the willful, deliberate, calculated breach of trust that ruins a relationship[/quote]

when you get married, there is the marital contract/trust that part of being married is maintaining physical and emotional intimacy.  So if one spouse unilaterally decides that this part of the relationship is over, why is that not a willful, deliberate, calculated breach of trust? "I am going to stay married and use my spouse for all the financial and other kinds of supper s/he offers,  but I am going to renege on part of the deal, in the knowledge that I can make it very painful for the spouse to leave and place all the blame on them. This is not to say that all partners who cheat do so because they have experienced a breach of trust, but that is sometimes the case.

Cheating is about as justified/unjustified as regularly denying your partner affection. I really dont see why one is sorta kinda excusable but the other is an immediate dealbreaker? [/quote]
