Does that mean that I am worried about my wife leaving me for Jude Law? Not really. While she might find him attractive, he is obviously a ponce in real life and would be unbearable to live with (just ask Sienna Miller). Despite my being certian that my wife will always be faithful, I would still hate Jude Law for trying to do something to do damage to my relationship with my wife.
There has to be honor among men (and women, for that matter). Attempting to undermine a relationship is dishhonorable.

I agree. I'm just saying that it seems that the underlying cause for the whole concept of honour is essentially lack of confidence and/or insecurity (not on the most conscious of levels necessarily). Merely an observation.
