Comment on Why do people especially men care if someone forgives a cheating partner
IloveyouMF@lemmy.world 1 day agoright but the norm is already changing on so many other issues why is this an exception ?
Now it’s the norm for women to work, couples to not have kids, women to not change their last names.
We are not in a traditional relationship. I do onlyfans for one, I pay him a portion of that to live in his house that he owns. Traditionally a dwelling like this would be co owned by both people int he relationship or at least he would let his woman stay there for free but I am consistent and I know it’s not fair for me to demand tradition compliance out of him but be progressive personally because it benefits him
right but the norm is already changing on so many other issues why is this an exception ?
Cause this change is actively immoral and harmful and people don’t want it, duh.
Things change because people want them to change. They don’t want this to change because they don’t want to enable potential cheaters in their lives, because as something becomes less socially stigmatised the less of a barrier there is to actually doing it.

You seem deeply affected by them caring now and not before. Are you worried they will convince him? If not then they will eventually see it worked itself out and stop caring. If not, well they aren’t involved in your relationship so what do they matter? Not everybody will like you, it’s wasted energy to try and make that the goal.
