some interesting stats on views on cheating but it's not at all surprising that liberals are far less likely to hold themselves accountable for cheating than their conservative counterparts

haven't seen the stats yet but i'd wager a couple with liberal views is probably more unhappy with one another than a couple with conservative views

https://ifstudies.org/blog/liberal-and-conservative-women-have-very-different-views-about-marital-infidelity

Few behaviors seem to provoke near-universal condemnation more than marital infidelity. Even as Americans have become more accepting of premarital sex, teenage sex, and sex between people of the same gender, there is a near consensus that marital infidelity is wrong. A 2022 Gallup survey found that nearly 9 in 10 Americans believe marital infidelity is morally wrong; it elicits more consistent moral disapprobation than any of the 19 personal behaviors probed in the survey. However, a new survey conducted by the Survey Center on American Life suggests that public judgments about the morality of infidelity are not quite so simple. This survey reveals a startling double standard in views about the morality of marital infidelity when committed by a man or woman.

Previous surveys that asked Americans to weigh the morality of certain behaviors either did not specify the gender of the subject in the question or, as is the case with Gallup’s question, mentioned both men and women. We developed a novel approach that asked respondents to respond to a question that explicitly references gender. As we explain in our report, “half of the sample were asked to judge the morality of these behaviors when a man engaged and an identical number of respondents when a woman committed these acts.”

It turns out that Americans react to infidelity differently for men and women. The gap is particularly large among women: 70% of women say that it is “always” morally wrong when a man has an extramarital affair, but fewer (56%) say the same when it is a woman who has an affair. (Nearly 1 in 4 women say it is morally wrong “most of the time.”)

This moral double standard varies among women from different backgrounds, but the gap is particularly large among liberal women. Only 36% of liberal women say it is always wrong for a woman to engage in an extramarital affair, while 57% say the same for men. Conservative women, by contrast, are somewhat less likely to judge men and women differently for committing infidelity—71% say it is always wrong for a woman to engage in an extramarital affair.

When judging women who engage in extramarital affairs, liberal women are far more willing than conservative women to withhold judgment


oh boy I can definitely say that one is true just from conversations I've had. I'd say I'm surprised that stat isn't higher actually. But also

Infidelity happens, and is often a symptom of a much larger, much more pernicious issue.

did you know the sin of Sodom was based on the exploitation of those sexual practices rather than the innate or intrinsic values of those acts.

the unrelenting corruption created the abominations not the human body in of itself that many preachers will use to shame liberal lifestyles, including infedelity.
while any type of infidelity is dangerous and for those reason highly discouraged, unfortunately
marriage is a legal process no longer a sacred vow to god or atleast not by the bulk.

since the demons were attempting to kill using the practices, including infidelity, even when being granted angelic forgiveness and opportunity, justification for destroying the city, biblically was said to have occurred.
the more you know.
