Keyword: Socially acceptable.
People cheat on their boyfriends/Girlfriends. All the time.Hell there is a very succesful website dedicated to married people what want to cheat. Chances are you've met someone who cheated at one point of another, maybe you've done it yourself , maybe someone cheated on you.
To me it seems counterproductive, being in a monogamous relationship only to cheat on your partner. Sure it's often not planned but still. I'm surprised polyamory is not more popular. That lead me to thinking. Is it more socially acceptable to cheat than it is to be polyamourous? .
People held in high regard have been caugh cheating in the past, presidents, politicians, movie stars, community figureheads. Most were forgiven . But i wonder if they would have attained those positions if they were known to be polygamous? Or is polyamory a big no no in the eyes of society?
Note when i say polyamory i don't mean Married to several people, as far as i am aware that is illegal in most if not all 1st world countries. But in love or dating more that one person in addition to their legally married spouse. While their spouse is also free to do the same.
What do you think?
Edit: im not talking about the moral/ethical side of things. But the social side.
