Is it just a handful of posters who post incessantly about how cheaters are the worse? I don't get it. No one I know in real life harbors such seething resentment.

Yes, I have come to believe there is one open marriage poster on one extreme and one EVIL CHEATING on the other extreme they basically argue with each other. Perhaps they are ex spouses.[/quote]

And a poster who thinks all fat people deserve to be unloved and celibate [/quote]

It’s not one poster.

A Gallup poll conducted found that 91% of Americans consider it to be either always or almost always wrong for married people to have sexual relations with someone other than their spouses, and in response to a separate but related question, 89% say that "married men and women having an affair" is morally unacceptable.  Unlike many sexual mores in American society, intolerance of infidelity has actually grown over the last two decades

Of course every cheater makes up some reason to justify it for themselves.

I would agree cheating is morally wrong and I have cheated. It's more a matter of degree[/quote]

Do you believe that those who do things that are morally wrong should have to face some kind of consequence for it? Like some kind of cosmic justice or something (assuming you're not religious).[/quote]

Yes.

I’m sorry, but that seems delusional at best.

Suffering is not meted out according to desert. Plenty of good people suffer. Plenty of people who do horrific things don’t.

Punishment is something humans developed to enforce social norms. Therefore in places where cheating is socially acceptable or normalized, we won’t see any repercussions. And in every society the wealthy, the elite, and the men are much more likely not to have punishments enforced because the social cost of doing so would be too high. Traditionally only women and people without the option to fight back are sanctioned for this behavior. It’s changing slightly with social media, which places reputational costs on even very powerful individuals, but that’s a mechanism that is fairly inefficient compared to others.[/quote]
