A few things:
1)Open relationships aren't always a sign of a lack of values or strength in a relationship.
2) I've seen more than a few threads of regret on this site when it comes to cheating, and normally it comes down to some flaw in the relationship. Sometimes that flaw is caused by them both, or just the cheater, sometimes it's even because of the one who hasn't cheated.
Some people want to see if a relationship can be fixed and saved rather than abandoning ship at the point of needing to be critical of the relationship and what isn't working(what ever that may be). Possibly dooming themselves to the same unhealthy relationships in future.
All i'm saying is sometimes cheating is a cry for help and/or a sign of a problem in the relationship.
Don't be so critical of people who are willing to give their partner a second chance.
3) "traditional family values" is quite frankly out of place here.
All i associate that phrase with is basically Christian family values due to it being the main religion of our countries, and to be blunt, are used to promote very vile things like gender roles and gender inequality , marriage inequality, opposition to gay adoption, and i'm pretty sure it would of been one of the reasons for anti-sodomy laws.
Seems like any Christian organisation with "family" in it's name now days is very archaic in it's beliefs and are normally extremely opposed to homosexuality's(and ANY sexuality beyond heterosexuality) very existence(or at least acknowledging it).
I'm sorry, that phrase is a pet peeve of mine.
