Right. Just an innocent bystander actively participating.

Karma is going to come her way, but she isn't responsible for someone else's marriage.

Not responsible for the marriage. 50% responsible for the affair.

Based on your wife's answer age you sure it's yours?

But SHE didn't make the vow, so SHE didn't break a vow of her own.
So, how is it 50/50?


Is this the old, "she tripped and fell into his dick" argument? She's an active participant, knowing he's married.

If I caught my wife cheating with a man who was aware she was married, I'd shake his hand.

Right. But, he is the one who made a vow.
She did not.

So, in your mind, whether one makes a vow is irrelevant to the blame for marriage strife?

That sounds less like moral clarity and more like emotional detachment.
That’s easy to say hypothetically. Real life isn’t that emotionally clean.

He broke the vow. She helped break it. Math isn’t hard. That's a 50/50 equation where if the mistress didn't exist, it wouldn't happen.


And if she didn't know he was married?

I went on three dates with a guy that was married once without knowing he was married (this was pre-dating apps/social media being mainstream so much easier to get away with). Ended it when his wife called me from his cell phone (where I was listed as "Tom"). That also 50/50 accountability?

I'd agree. Your responses have been emotional whereas I tend to use logic. I can understand your hurt.

How would it be? I was pretty clear with the "knowingly" part.

Then that doesn't apply. I'm saying that if you knew he was married and continued to date him then you would share some of the blame.

That’s not logic. That’s emotional avoidance dressed up as intellect. You so wicked smaht.

Negative. I'd be very emotional. I would leave my wife and cry in the bathtub for 6 months.

Then it isn’t logic, you just proved emotions are driving this. That's selective emotions.

Don't worry though, I'd come help you. I'd take you out for a night on the town.

After you shook the guy's hand who was banging your wife of course. Even though he knew y'all were married. What if it was a friend of yours? Or your brother? Does he share any of the blame in that scenario?

Pretty sure this aligns with my argument that the cheating spouse carries all the responsibility. I cry because I am angry with her, I hate her, I love her, I miss her.

I don't waste one moment thinking abt the guy.
