I agree. As you know, I recently posted about a relationship, unconsummated, but not because I didn't want to. I rationalized my feelings to an art form. I swear, I deserve a Pulitzer, a Booker Prize, for excellence in rationalization. So, I am not about to cast the first stone.

I can envision situations where the husband/wife could conclude that the relationship is so bad that the spouse does not deserve the other's fidelity so an affair or chance encounter would be justified for the pain and suffering being inflicted. But then also the relationship is not ready for the trash heap either because their other other benefits (financial, children) so they stay. Only a strong moral conviction would prevent someone from acting on that reasoning, I imagine.
