Reply to comment by Edelkern in Wife elopes with another man, husband marries her lover's wife as revenge by wewhomustnotbenamed

Yeah, the only way revenge is applied is if one of the people who eloped still loved their partner. Which in most cases they wouldn't have eloped in the first place if they love their partner.

This honestly sounds like weird copium trying to soften the fact that their spouse doesn't love them and went to be with someone else. There was no revenge. Just two broken hearted people trying to cope and feel better about their shit situation.

Although it's pretty engrained in culture / worldview that you can only ever love one, it creates a fallacy because it's also accepted that true love can still be found after a husband/wife passes away. I actually believe it's the best evidence of the potential for multi-love. I bet it would still hurt them.
