[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]people are only as loyal as their options. The reason why most of people on here leave is because they can’t afford to get a divorce. One of the reasons why UMC people have low divorce rates is because if they do divorce there lifestyle takes a hit. Especially for women who are stay at home moms. They won’t be able to afford the neighborhood they live in on their income alone.

Again, people are only as loyal as their options. [/quote]

Speak for yourself.

Loyalty is a prosocial value upon which the fabric of society is built. It's a survival instinct to want to remain on good terms with our tribe. Many people have strong values and don't operate simply on whim and self-interest. Of course, there are those that do (you, apparently), but they're at the far end of the bell curve.[/quote]

Traditionally marital loyalty for men did not necessarily extend to sexual loyalty.  "Wife" is primarily a status and a title, not necessarily a marker for permanent and sole sex partner.  Men can and do sleep with other women - the wife is the public partner, co-owner of assets, mother of children, member of family.  In a man's mind, these things are not threatened by semisecret sex with others because he does not plan to elevate them to the status of a wife. [/quote]

Are you talking about European culture in the last millennium? Obviously this is the sort of thing that varies all over the world. [/quote]

This is a traditional setup all over the world.  Asia, Arab world, Europe and here.  It has never changed that men see their wife and other women they may screw as completely separate entities. [/quote]
