I wouldn't (and haven't tried to) argue that.
Like I said, I wouldn't put myself in that situation. It's wrong. I just think we have a tendency to focus much more on the people who are showing that disrespect instead of the people who are actually breaking vows. (And in case we get sidetracked by my earlier 'women as victims' comments, I think women do the exact same thing when their husbands cheat)
And, again from my own experience, I'd say that's probably because it's easier to look outward than it is to look inward, easier to put the fault at someone else's feet, instead of those of a loved one or even ourselves. It's a lot easier to come to grips with betrayal when you can focus the emotions that come with it on someone that we didn't trust or cherish or think we'd spend our lives with.
