This is, of course, nonsense and obviously false, but consent morality is the dominant sentiment in society. “Vows” and “sexual restraint” are completely old fuddy duddy ideas gone the way of the dodo.
You are contradicting yourself. The other woman didn't take any vows. The married man did.
But everyone knows married people take vows and they, the other spouse, and their children should be left alone out of respect for not just the individuals but the institution of marriage and family itself.

No it is not. One made a vow, one did not. That's not equal.
Also, in case you are unaware, married men lie to the other woman. They are told he is no longer in love, the wife is fine with him seeking sex elsewhere, they are in the process of separating, the divorce will be final soon, etc.
But the bottom line is, the cheater is the one who is married.
