Yeah pretty much

Hah, cheating female one sure has her laugh as clueless male one and clueless male two fight each other over her cheating self. But then in another corner of the universe cheating male one is getting beat up by clueless female one and clueless female two as they join forces.

Or perhaps I'm just being a little sixist here

Would you (as a person in this scenario retaining as much of your own personality as the scenario would allow) prefer to enter into marriage with a person who truely believes they love you, yet once or more than once commits advltery against you, or would you rather enter into marriage with a person who does not believe they love you, yet, for reasons that could only be speculated upon (marriage laws, religion, lack of any other attractive people etc) they do not ever commit advltery?

Why would you marry either? Both would be bad decisions and years of pain and misery would be taken from your life.

This. Sounds to me like the "hypothetical" you is grabbing at straws to make something work that is doomed from the start.

Everything in the universe is doomed from the start.

Sure. I guess. We could all be crushed by an asteroid tomorrow.

Well there goes my evil plan...

Well there goes my evil plan...

Forgot to mention. I'm the one piloting the asteroid.

What happened to good old Murphy ?

Congratulations The Tallest, you have singlehandedly brought doom over humanity.

Well, there is nothing worse than not being able to trust somebody you love, and I would never marry somebody who doesn't love me. So in either situation I would just leave.

I love when people insist on participating while insisting on ignoring the criteria. It reminds me of kindergarten.

I don't think your hostility is going to help

Actually, never mind. I'm just going to go back to coloring this dinosaur while learning how to spell 'cat'.

It's just that, quite literally every single time there is a "Would you rather do -X or -Y? If you had to choose." People are always like "Well neither." As if that was a choice. In this case I'm not even asking it to anyone specifically, its more like you can come here and participate on your own accord. So yeah, I just don't know. Sincerest apologies.

If any of you would like to participate in my hypothetical question, let us assume for a moment that your relationship status is 'single' and you are hoping to find a marriage partner.

Let us also assume that it is possible to love someone and, for a reason unknown in this scenario, cheat on that person (commit advltery) at the same time.

I do not care to know whether you believe such a situation is possible or not in reality, as I'm sure you may have your opinions on this. I only care that you answer the following hypothetical question, based on this information to the best of your ability:

Would you (as a person in this scenario retaining as much of your own personality as the scenario would allow) prefer to enter into marriage with a person who truely believes they love you, yet once or more than once commits advltery against you, or would you rather enter into marriage with a person who does not believe they love you, yet, for reasons that could only be speculated upon (marriage laws, religion, lack of any other attractive people etc) they do not ever commit advltery?

Feel free to simply answer, or to answer and explain, but please try to be sincere. If you need further clarification, I'll try to give it, but I believe this is the entirety of the question.

Edit: If you want to respond without answering the question, lets also assume that I've already read your response before you posted it and I appreciate it ahead of time, therefor there is no need to post it.

Well, what's the point in a hypothetical? Presumably to force people to consider their priorities and values, yeah? But plenty of people aren't going to be able to rank loveless marriage and trustless marriage because they're equally poor options Beyond that, a lot of people are going to hold the belief that love implies some level of trust, rendering the whole scenario paradoxical. So answers like, "Neither" or "I'd just divorce them" are answering the question. Or at least, what I'd imagine to be the spirit of the question.

This isn't like a "kill one person to save a thousand thing" where we're examining the greater good, or whether ends justify means, or action versus inaction in terms of morality. You're just asking people to choose between [censored] marriage A and [censored] marriage B without any significant variance in [censored]tyness.

Eh... you're probably right. I apologize. I just can't really comprehend the point in making an attempt to circumvent the entire scenario.



Lol, sorry. That's pretty funny though.

Once a cheater always a cheater is in many cases not true
