    I do wonder the legal definition used here. I hope the law doesn’t consider it cheating if you tell them about it first, regardless of if they say yes

      Just my opinion, if my spouse (I’m not married) walks up to me and asks if they can sleep with someone else and I say no. Then they do it anyway. I would absolutely call that cheating. Then I’d call a divorce attorney. If I had to pay alimony after the divorce I’d be extremely bitter.

        Your partner is not your property. They have the right to fuck who they want.

        They dont have the right to endanger your health, which is why they need to tell you

          In the context of the comment chain, you’re saying that a person who willfully violates a monogamous marriage vow should still be able to claim alimony in the event of a divorce, simply because they informed their spouse they were doing it?

          Fuck that. What the hell are you thinking? Please tell me this isn’t what you mean.

          There is absolutely a difference between having an open relationship where both parties consent, and having a relationship where one person just sleeps around, but it’s totally fine because the other was informed it was happening.

          Your partner may not be your property, but that doesn’t mean that sleeping around just because you told them it was happening is ok.
