Does it require marriage?
When this community was announced in the Community Showcase, @PurpleGoop said, "cheating is a symptom of an illness called marriage. such poetry." It was a nice turn of phrase, but is it true? Is it only cheating if you are married?




I understood that the other way around - the "illness" of marriage leads to cheating. Anyway, uh, no, I don't agree with this at all. (And I don't like the idea of people being trapped in marriages. Abusive partnerships aside (those can make it harder to leave), you chose to be in that marriage, you can leave.)
