I think that exclusive relationships, including marriage, have been built on the thinking that one person can be everything to another person. They can be friend, confidant, lover, etc. For some people, maybe even the majority, they make this work. They may not be completely happy about it, but they make exclusivity work.
I would say that if my husband came to me and talked about having sex with someone else, but that there was nothing wrong with our relationship, I would seriously think about it and I like to think I would say yes. I agree that it is the dishonesty I would hate more than the actual sex.
