[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ not sure why this black and white comment comes up.  It’s irrelevant to the discussion.

BTW, not a scorned woman.  My posts indicate that I’m not surrounded by cheaters and so don’t have experience with it at a personal level.  That is why I wonder why we can’t expect men to do better?  Are you saying we shouldn’t expect them to do better?[/quote]

You are surrounded by cheaters.  It's half the population (you could quarrel its only 35% or maybe its 65% but either way).  That's the first thing you need to wrap your mind around, people who are unfaithful are your friends, your loved ones, perhaps your parent or sibling.  You don't know but it's an absolute guarantee its many, many of the people you know well.  Does that fact cancel out what you otherwise see in them?

Yes, we should expect people to do better, men and women included.  Indeed, you shouldn't make a monogamous commitment if you know you can't keep it.  Problem is, most people go into marriage with the intention of keeping it but most people aren't monogamous and struggle mightily when temptation comes up years into a relationship.  If you see this as a fatal flaw that means a relationship must end, that's certainly something you can chose but it also means statistically most marriages will fail.[/quote]
