I was out with a friend and, I can't remember how we got to this topic, but he was saying that cheating on one's spouse is fine if she never finds out. I thought he was joking initially but then I started pressing him on it and he was been deadly serious. I started saying how could you look at the mother of your children knowing what you've done and say "I love you to her". He just said as far as she knows nothing happened and that you can still love her it's just that you needed a release elsewhere for the time being - you've been married for however many years so what? I then said you can be married to her for 50 years and if you cheat it means you never truly loved her. The whole conversation left me with a very disgusting taste in my mouth and I have no desire to interact with them afterwards after seeing them in that light despite having an amicable relationship before. Yet at the same time I feel bad for my harshness in my dealing with them. I myself have deep moral darkness and perhaps it's hypocritical for me to think in this way. Idk anymore
