You may call zero-tolerance on this issue silly, but I'd wager it hugely depends on how much one values and prioritizes loyalty. Age has nothing to do with any of it, but I can see how time made you succumb and adopt a more "reasonable" approach.
I suppose being loyal and honest to your partner is not part of the marriage vows. Your partner doesn't take them seriously, why are you? What is the meaning of one-sided fulfillment of the promises? Under the pretense of maturity, why is the responsibility, acceptance and forgiveness of the misdeed the duty of the other partner?
There isn't any worth to it and I wholly disagree on the notion that marriage requires you to throw out your values in order to make it work and be "mature" about it.
It may simply be the generation-gap speaking.
