There are varying degrees. As I have gotten older, I have become less judgmental about what people do. If my wife were to have sex with another person, that would be the end of the relationship. If she were to flirt with someone else, it wouldn't bother me in the least (I do the same with the knowledge that I would never cheat on my wife). When we were dating and almost engaged, she went back out with the guy she was dating prior to me meeting her. They kissed a bit, and she never told me till years later. Her explanation was that although she knew she loved me, she wanted to test the depth of the feeling and to make sure it was real. She said she knew after she kissed him that it was wrong. This bothered me a bunch until I really thought about it. I had her and he didn't. She was sure enough to come back to me. I haven't had any cause to suspect her at all since we have been married. All-in-all, I have a great woman, she is about as trustworthy as they come, and I love my life with her.
