Let's talk relationships

So I was talking to this individual one time and they were saying they wouldn't leave their significant other because of infidelity. They were saying they'd fight as long as the significant other still wants in.

Personally I think she's right somehow. Imagine getting a divorce after years of marriage just because your significant other opened the door of infidelity and let someone shake your marriage. If he still wants to be with me then I'll have to find a way to deal with it not give up on my marriage. I'm the type that would also bring another person if the lonliness is getting too much. Don't judge, I'm only human 😅.

What's your take on this?

Consider the case of a wife whose libido rages unabated after learning her husband has been rendered impotent by pharmaceuticals or by accident. Though others might object to her taking action, few could fail to at least understand her thoughts of seeking liaison, just-for-sex, with another man.

If she is offered such opportunity but declines, who of us might nevertheless find her guilty--of glowing with pride and arousal, long-term, along with regret over having missed her moment? Guilty of clinging, long-term, to thoughts of a second chance?

Just for sex, outside an otherwise good marriage? I would counsel her husband against branding her with the mark of infidelity.
