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?

I agree with you...it's all wrong, but should it be the end of the world?
I think in relationships outside of marriage...dump them, it's not worth the time and trouble if it's not serious. But a marriage with kids should be able to survive that. You're right...there are many people who routinely do things that are just as "bad" and yet the deal breaker is cheating instead of possibly lying or such.
