It seems bizarre that we use fidelity as a hyper-important aspect of a person's character, but will readily excuse other actions in a relationship that may show just as much negative light on that person's character.
In that regard, should we up the ante for other actions? Or have we turned our decades-long obsession with monogamy into a latent insecurity?

That's how I feel about it. If someone were to cheat on me, would it affect their trustworthiness? Sure, but it wouldn't be enough to end a relationship unless it were added together with other things (dishonesty about money, etc.).
And yes, before people bring it up, I have been cheated on (in high school and college), so I know how it feels.
