Is society too hard on marriage cheaters?

[Coccygia]

Society is not hard enough on adulterers, IMFAO.

If anyone's going to be hard on adulterers, it should be the spouse, not society.

You really can't expect a spouse to stone his/her wife/husband to death all by him/herself, can you?

[Lydenburg]

OP, whatever your opinion on the issue cheating is not a universal human "right".

Society, not the government.

[Gaiserin]

I'm going to repeat what few others have already stated..

Society is not hard enough towards marriage cheaters.

[Imperializt Russia]

No, marriage is an agreement for a male and a female to stay together and NOT cheat. If you cheat, then monogamous relationships are not for you, if you don't ask for the right to date more than one partner or to have an open marriage, then it's your own fault. Your hipster powers have no sway over me.

Don't act like marriage is for anything other than marriage benefits and fulfilment of some lifelong "dream wedding" fantasy.

Every single political ideology on NSG agrees on something!

Since when did you turn into such a bitter cynic?

I'm sure we'll get someone here soon enough.

Well, the OP.

But still, 90 percent consensus is a miracle for this site.

Am I the only one who thinks society is being too hard on adulterers?

[Ashmoria]

I haven't noticed society being hard on cheaters at all. sometimes the subsequent divorce (if there is one) can be brutal but that is between the couple not society at large.

This. Of you want to have sex outside of marriage your spouse should know beforehand and should be aware that it is happening. Cheating on them behind their back or when you agreed to be monogomous makes you a lying asshole. There is zero need to marry in today's society, if you don't want to have sex with one person for the rest of their life than don't get married or make sure they know that you fully intend to have sex outside of marriage.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Society is harsh on cheaters for a good reason. If you make a vow of whatever to stay loyal to your partner, then you should either follow that or get a divorce.

No, that's not it. I live in Iraq, we have a pretty chill policy here. Well, for men. What I mean is the social shaming of an adulterer, and that such things should remain private matters.

A sign that the apocalypse is coming

[Koopaville]

No, if two people promise to be loyal to each other, then they better stay loyal or break the agreement and divorce.

[Sygneros]

Huh, weird. We've always been hard on trolls on NSG; what makes this one the exception?

God, the only thing I miss about 4chan is the 'sage' function.

what kind of social shaming is there of adulterous men?

[ImperialistSalvia]

No OP; lying and deceiving someone with whom you've vowed to love and cherish is wrong. Yes, everyone has desires, but acting on those desires is dishonest. Take your SJW bullshit elsewhere.

What do those two statements have to do with each other? Not to mention you've just broken one of the unspoken rules...

[Holy Marsh]

If you don't want to be tied to one person, don't marry them. If you marry someone and then cheat, you are a liar. You are not trustworthy. You are not fit or worthy of it. The idea that your selfish desires supersede the vows you made simply because you apparently have the self-control of a dog is silly.

[United Marxist Nations]

If you cheat in a marriage, yes, you broke the agreement, but that should be resolved by both partners without society becoming involved in it. There shouldn't be public shaming of adulterers.

It doesn't mean society can't have opinions on the subject.

[Allentyr]

Yes.

But if someone no longer feels for their partner, they should opt for a divorce instead of sneakily sleeping around. It hurts both parties involved when their actions are exposed.

[Christiaanistan]

I think that this sort of thing is absolutely a private affair, and I think it's crass for people to get into affairs that have nothing to do with them. In a lot of cases, the partner who was cheated on is highly pissed-off already, and having everyone on the block chattering about it just compounds that person's humiliation. Give people privacy during these difficult times.
