Should there be legal repercussions for cheating on your spouse who is in the military overseas?

Imagine having PTSD from a war, then coming back home to find out you've been betrayed... it's retarded that ppl be like "muh personal freedom" to call me a tyrant for wanting to make this illegal. People who have no empathy for people suffering one of the worst things you can suffer will just be like "it's a shitty thing, but we shouldn't seek justice for those people who got betrayed".

As someone who has served in the Military, no, i don't think so. Service people are no different from other couples really, yes we often get deployed, yes our life isn't necessarily an easy one for either spouse, no matter which one is deployed. The one who stays at home is left to shoulder all of the responsibilities of a normal everyday life for both. Other couples such as First responders don't have it easy either so no, there should be no legal repercussions. All one can do is hope your spouse loves you enough not to cheat, if they do well then you have to do what you think is best...

@AgapeLove Or maybe make them listen to "Tainted Love" on repeat for a week? 😝

It’s unfortunate that we can’t do much about those that lack such moral values. The fact that one might get lonely is understandable, but certainly no excuse for betraying a spouse.
I suppose the settlement for divorce should only be in favor of whom did not commit adultery. No mercy.

I think legally no. There should be more social shame for things like that as there used to be. When everyones as morally bankrupt as each other, the standard dissapears.

I've seen that happen a lot here as well, someone will talk about cheating on someone and people will pat them on the back and make excuses for them because they've also cheated on people. Then it re-enforces the attitude that we don't have responsibility and nothing is our fault.

@AgapeLove Lose a lot of respect for them/probably not deal with them anymore. I've called out friends i've known for a while on things like that, i'll always tell them it's fucked up.
Whether that changes a damn thing is debatable..

Maybe that's why, we treat promiscuity in our culture like it's normal and encourage oppurtunism. If you grow up around irresponsible amoral people then that's all you know.

Legal? Not really. But if there is a divorce after getting caught cheating the courts should favor the military participant.

How about no? That's a personal issue between you and your spouse, and maybe the person your spouse is fucking.
