Yes, I was picking apart the way you said it that suggests cheating is somehow OK because "She's not involved".

For some people, monogamy includes not staring at (semi) naked women for sexual gratification.

I didn't say that at all, I was explaining the difference between boundaries and rules.

Most, though not all, romantic relationships have monogamy as a rule.

No you're right, you never said that.

Since you swear it's different, please explain how looking at scantily clad women in a sexual manner doesn't involve her, but cheating does.

I didn't say that either. Both are rules for a significant other's behavior while in a relationship, neither are boundary issues.

Which part didn't you say? The bit I quoted from you, or the bit where you suggested that looking at scantily clad women on the internet doesn't count as cheating because the woman isn't involved:

>But you looking at arousing media isn't a "boundary" of hers. Boundaries are behaviors that involve her and make her uncomfortable.

Because you definitely said both.

I'm going to stop this conversation here, you won the argument. I don't know what the argument was, but you seem intent on winning it. Good job.

It gets like that sometimes. But you contradicted yourself multiple times, so it needed to be pointed out. Have a good day.

Those people will be either forever alone or cheated on the whole time.

What a load of crap. You understand that some people get married when they share the same values and are both happy with the rules, right? Don't act like one rule fits all, it doesn't.

Well username checks out because you are a nub at reading comprehension. They did not say that AT ALL.

I’m actually amazed that you read their comment and came to the conclusion that they said “it suggests cheating is somehow OK”.
