Here is another question. Why is monogamy such a big deal? If we were polygamous there would be no such thing as cheating. |
I consider cheating to be based on the intention of the person, not the action itself. So if my partner kissed a guy on the cheek to seduce him, cheating; but if he's just a platonic friend and she's happy to see him, not cheating. I am a very intuitive person and so people's intentions mean a lot to me.
(ie, if you shoot a suicide bomber dead before he blows up and kills a dozen civilians, you're a hero. If you shoot a random person dead to see him suffer, you're a criminal - same action, different intention, different context)
And as far as monogamy, I say let people do what they want to do, although not at the expense of others of course.
