Infidelity is hard to describe because I think everyone has the temptation to cheat. Whether they choose to or not is a different matter. But it is always there subconsciously. It has become such a popular well known thing that there are even TV programmes based on such "bad" behaviour, for instance 'Mistresses'.
I have been cheated on and I know how crushing it is to your ego to have someone betray you but there are some people that have what is known as an 'open' relationship where they can sleep around with whom they want providing they are honest to their partner about it. Can this be classed as infidelity, because they have had permission??
Infidelity used to be a crime that could in extreme cases be punished by death. The family would be shamed and the social etiquette and shame that came from cheating was horrendous. Whereas now, most people laugh about it, think it is something fun and exciting to do and talk about. Has society developed in a good way or a bad way when it comes to infidelity?
