No, I don't think being unfaithful is Ok too... this is probably where in trying to make my point it looks like I'm swinging from one extreme to the other *sigh*...
You're very right when you say that there is an expectation to be faithful, but what happens if they can't or won't and both parties don't catch it to address it... you are only left with the aftermath... then what do you do... and in most cases it's "kick to the curb" and "you've done it once you'll do it again" ... why is there no room for discussion afterward?
You are also very right with possibilities of open relationships... why isn't the concept of open relationships more widely accepted? That would make more sense in the earlier stages (younger people) because there would be a socially acceptable way to define yourself in relation to others... it really makes more sense and it's not as damaging.
