I’d even go as far to say as people that can be tempted this way do not have as strong relationships as they think they do.
Do you really believe most people would stay faithful? At best, they might break up before starting a relationship with the person they're spending all the time with but it's highly unlikely at some point they wouldn't start something one way or another.
If you get that example then everything else is just a matter of degree. If my spouse wants to see an old friend of the opposite sex a few times a year I'm not going to worry. But, if they are talking to them daily, which is what the post above was about, then IMO, something is wrong with our relationship and I should be worried.
If the mars example doesn't work for you then my gut says just wait a few years and a few examples will come. Of course maybe you just know special types of people I've never met.
Yes.
You're asking me to believe that most people will betray their principles, commitments, vows, etc when it becomes convenient.
I have no evidence that that is the case.
If anything, there are numerous examples in literature of people staying faithful for years apart.
My hypothesis on this is that this belief that people will cheat is projection on the part of people that would.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. In that scenario, there is nothing wrong with your relationship. But yet you say there is.

Right back at y'all.
