Yes.Don't you mean that they have no responsibility towards the expectations of whoever forced them?

@Jon916 , it seems to me that the legal aspects of marriage are mostly about shared responsibilities, mostly financial.
I don't think they necessarily extend to sexual exclusivity. Then again, adultery is not a matter of breaching the law, but rather the trust.
article in the agreement.It's through it's sentient components (i.e. humankind) that the universe cares.
Unacceptable. I expect monogamy and to be exclusive life mates with someone. Otherwise, I will just be alone.
Don't some consider adultery to be also be sex outside of marriage? I do not find it acceptable while married. Loyalty is needed, loyalty is a must.
That's youth talking. We all feel that way when we're young.

For the purposes of this discussion, do you consider "legally separated but not divorced yet" as part of "married"?Hello again. Time to throw more of my weird threads at you. It's a serious matter to me tho.
Let's start with a definition. According to your friend Google, adultery is defined as: "voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse."
Let's say you're married and your spouse wants to have explicit sex with total/random strangers, or maybe wants to be a porn star performing in hardcore sex. Do you take it as acceptable or unacceptable, as in be fine with it or not? Would you openly be fine with it as in admitting it to others, normally socializing with the chosen adultery partners of your spouse with all cards clearly uncovered, see your spouse in a hardcore porn video with someone knowing the performer is your spouse and normally talk about it, etc?
On the other hand, would you do it, as opposed to being fine with your spouse as said above, and would you consider the feelings of your spouse beforehand?
In case of already having blood children, would it be different?
Is it actually happening with you already? You think you can share the experience with us? Simple yes or no question are enough here.
Thank you for sharing.
Edit:
I voted "unacceptable" by the way.
Edit:
Please keep in mind that this thread heavily concerns "married" status.
I'm confused to answer. Are "legally separated" and "divorced" different? To me, both seem like the same thing.For the purposes of this discussion, do you consider "legally separated but not divorced yet" as part of "married"?
It can be a subtle distinction, but the short of it is that divorced people are free to marry other people as if they had never married previously.I'm confused to answer. Are "legally separated" and "divorced" different? To me, both seem like the same thing.
I know middle aged plus people who still feel that way.
I agree, I just don't think we can assume Frank's needs are to do with youth but it may be all those things you mentioned plus past experiences with relationships.Of course you do. So do I. Some people are naturally monogamous, while many other people are tragically fearful of expressing their true wants and needs in life for all sorts of reasons. They fear what their neighbors, employers, children, extended family, or others in general would think. They might believe open relationships are sleazy or immoral. They might be paralyzed by worries about contracting STDs, having an unwanted pregnancy, or encountering unmanageable jealousy. And some folks even think they would burn in hell if they acted on their love for more than one person. But I do not believe that nearly as many people are as naturally monogamous as most of us might think.
That's somewhat rude and dismissive. Just because I'm 26, doesn't mean I don't know what I want from a relationship and that I'm going to end up being like you. Some people just want monogamy. I have been the "third wheel" with people in relationships multiple times and have been involved with an adulterous married woman. I'm sick of that and it's hurtful. I want to be someone's #1. I'm very jealous, possessive and emotionally intense, as well, and I expect the other person to feel the same about me. So I'm not really cut out for open relationships.That's youth talking. We all feel that way when we're young.
I'm almost 46, and share the same opinion: "Unacceptable. I expect monogamy and to be exclusive life mates with someone. Otherwise, I will just be alone."That's youth talking. We all feel that way when we're young.
