Your statement holds merit.. Yes in france its pretty "fluid" when it comes to relationships even marriage.. In their culture "love" and " sex" are 2 totally diffrent things.. Public access t.v shows porn as a educational videos to children.. "Cheating" is really an american term.. In the u.k most marriages are "open" in the way that yes at the end of the day you lay beside the person who mentally bonded to you.. Here "sex" and " marriage are not meant to be open americcans especially women see it as taboo ( i do not agree,sex has nothing to do with marriage i mean yea its nice to know if i wake from a wet dream i can easily roll on top of his pleasure stick instead of having to swipe right.lol) but thats not what marriage has EVER meant to be centered around) the french have evolved from mixing passion and commitment into the same word they have for 100s of years.. Sex to the u.k means pleasure not commitment not loyalty.. Its actually majorilly common when asked theyll respond " im in a open marriage" why because its human nature to lust .. Plus if your giving sex the first 10 yrs at least 3 times a week and then at 15 yrs your s.o ( male or female usually its females tho ) stops wanting to keep up with a healthy sex life for whatever reason.( maybe she goes through the change and he hasnt reached the viagra stage yet) of COURSE. Theres gonna be needs you arent fullfilling.. But no where ever in any traditional nuptial does it say " i promise to have sex with you and only you for the rest of our living days" why because even those who wrote the traditional vows knew that wasnt a fair contract.. Cheating is a term meant for possesive people who feel the need to own a person body and soul .. But i get i get it america is a monogamy country .. But other countries dont see the same way and havent since before america was even founded .. Heck read your bible everyone was having oragies ( idk if i spelled correctly) and god gave ( i think it was abraham) permission to fuck his servant because his wife bore no children. Jesus took mary magdeline as his wife ..( yep there are some books the king james version leaves out) the book of amos are love letters to her.. He also took her as his main hand ( yes the last supper pics are wrong on his left sitting next to him holding his hand is supposed to be mary magdaline not a male deciple this was reedited to fit the misogyny of men refusing to accept christ took a womans advice over all men on earth) .. But if she isnt willing to reconcile save the money let her go .. She doesnt see YOU as worth her time or effort and no AMOUNT OF COUNSELING is gonna change a womans mind.. I honestly believe "marriage counseling was created to sit men in a room and degrade, insult, and tell them all the ways they are imperfect all while sitting the woman up on some pedestal like she didnt do anything wrong.. " b.s if shed have keep her mental emotional sexual and physical self up to par as they were when he got on his knee you wouldnt have an issue .PERIOD
