^^^A loving relationship is not "tit for tat". It should not be about, wait until my partner cheats... You should KNOW if your partner will cheat. Polyamorous experiences tell you the predilection.

I purposely knew and know that my husband does not have the predilection towards cheating. Aside from my ability to do the "Swan Move" from the Kama Sutra and Tantra, he would realize that he would have to find a psychic mind bender that would make him fathom leaving me.

Besides, it cheapa to keep har... So he leaves me, HALF HIS CHIT... It just is not worth jacking off on a ho.

No, really, I don't know if my husband would pull that mess. I have to trust him that he respects his vows...

As far as a different cultural perspective: I dunno? Folks do it with "Springer style". I don't think it would be anymore acceptable anywhere if a couple has made a formal commitment. But you cannot be do anything else to the other person if your signficant other stops loving you, and decides to look elsewhere.
