There's this place where this extra-relationship 'adultery' thing can turn people into fungible goods, interchangeable pleasure widgets. That's, I think, one of the big moral / ethical quicksand pits in the 'cheating' meme . . . . It becomes not about that dyad & their relationship, but a narcissistic thing about the fooling-around-er only. The cheater's needs, desires, wants, feelings, & etc consume the relationship & leave no room for anyone else but that pleasure-seeker-at-all-costs, from the perspective of there-is-something-wrong-with-this-relationship . . .. . That's a rather untenable position to maintain & it's probably easier to do the cognitive flip to everything's-fine on a day-to-day unless & until some critical mass is reached . . .... Big huge thematics here, actual individual data points of course vary widely & are far more complex outside of these theoretical hypotheticals . .. .
