because the government or any authority really should have no business in what goes on in relationships between two consenting adults.

The whole point of laws are to protect people from crimes, which cheating is because of the reasons I’ve stated above ☝🏻 it can kill people in many ways and ruin lives. It is not consensual for the person being kept in the dark and that’s what the word cheating implies. Otherwise the person would be honest about what they are doing and that would be responsible and NOT illegal. Cheating could be viewed for the person kept in the dark close to the lines of rape because of the second hand cum

this could lead to men keeping their wives in relationships that they want to leave with the threat of accusing them of cheating if they when society was predominantly feudalist, this was the standards and it led to awful things. cheating should be discouraged yes but outlawing it will lead to more harm than it would do good.

also how will we define cheating? what someone considers cheating differs from person to person. it is just up to the individual?

This doesn’t mean that you can’t divorce or leave someone that’s a completely different subject. The only downside would be in proving it and taking it to court because when it comes to issues like rape : it’s hard to prove as well. But both these issues are extremely important and absolutely ruining society in the most extreme ways and need to be dealt with. There need to be better ways to prove them.

rape is a completely different conversation and is in no way acquainted with cheating in the amount of harm it does.

Why?

relationships are so unbelievably complex, and the government has no business defining what goes on between them (within reason) there are so many practical problems with this.

That’s not true. Cheating does extreme harm to the individual and families. Can cause pregnancy, std’s, sti’s, mental, emotional, psychical, stress disorders, suicide among many other things - as well as getting second hand cum - it is very close to rape - and also causes extreme emotional pain and heartbreak which can have even longer lasting and devastating effects then moving past a rape if having the proper support

rape is physically invading someone’s boundaries, cheating is no where near ok the same level.

Then they can leave their abusive relationship. Instead of cheating. Why not that? Why complicate it by cheating?

It’s not vague at all. It causes physical damage especially in extreme cases like heartbreak. The body is physically breaking. Look it up. Not hard to describe you just need to research it and get in your feelings more.

Not to mention emotional pain is physically painful in extreme cases and when it’s caused carelessly by someone who claims to love you, when they know how they’re going to affect you, that’s abusive. Cheating is abusive.

Cheating is absolutely physically invading someone’s boundaries, and even worse by lying to them about it and claiming to love them. And you’re trying to argue that you think that’s right? Are you really behind this thinking it’s okay? Where’s your head?

I think you overestimate how easy it is to leave an abusive relationship, esp if your partner has financial control over you

I think that in that regard, ideally, the government would protect people who need financial support leaving an abusive relationship - this all ties into proper people protection laws

Jail time just like rape, the time would have to be decided. It’s an assault on someone’s wellbeing and a crime.

If you want to have sex with someone else, you be honest about it with your partner or be single. Very simple. Not complicated

Anonymous OP 6w

I agree it’s not complicated from a social perspective, but legally defining it is difficult. Are we only counting penetrative sex, for example? What about people who consider a kiss cheating? If a married person is has sex with someone, and they’re claiming they were raped but their spouse is claiming they cheated, what happens then?

Well herpes can be transferred by kissing and is of course considered cheating - even talking to someone else / flirting with someone else is emotional cheating but that’s another level of it and could fall into legal cause just depending on how this could go. Because the emotional detriment can be severe. If someone is raped, there needs to be better means of proving it because currently, there is not and our system really sucks in that regard.

If the partner claims it was cheating it would be an investigation into the truth of the situation. Again there would need to be better means of acquiring evidence and investigating these situations because there really are not right now and most rape cases are left unresolved

Is it also illegal to be the other man/woman involved in the affair? What’s the burden of proof like?

1

Anonymous OP 6w

So would it be fair to say that with our current system, making cheating illegal is impractical and inadvisable?

Anonymous OP 6w

So do you think flirting, if considered cheating by the jilted partner, should be illegal and warrant jail time?

There were more church discipline cases against men in Calvin’s Geneva than women. So this fear is not a necessary consequence
