[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're still a selfish dick, and wrong, even if it's acceptable in your culture. Just because it's tolerated in a culture doesn't mean it's healthy.

My in-laws are from a culture where all the men are expected to cheat. The women and kids suffer horribly as a result, but it's accepted. That doesn't make it right. It creates a whole new level of twisted sickness in people.

You don't have the right to make a unilateral, secret decision as to whether you and your partner are in a monogamous relationship. Your partner has a right to decide whether they will stay with you if you decide you are going to sleep with others.

It's funny how you assume I'm a man.  I'm a woman who was raised in this culture.  I accept that over the course of our marriage my husband will possibly sleep with other women.  It doesn't cause me any suffering because the kind of discreet, part-time polygamy acceptable for us doesn't take anything away from wives.  Wives and nonwives simply exist in two different universes with two different benefit packages.   I understand if in your worldview cheating is this great, explosive, life-ruining thing, but it doesn't have to be the case, and it certainly isn't everywhere else. [/quote]
