It was interesting to discover in the lecture, what other people in our class perceived as infidelity. As with all of the topics that we have covered so far in this module, infidelity is another topic that is not just black and white.
The broad spectrum of what people believed infidelity was surprised me. Some people believed that looking at another person whilst in a relationship was infidelity whereas others believed that it was only infidelity if you had sex with another person whilst in a relationship.
One of the articles that we looked at in class, was about a woman who committed adultery because she had not had sex with her husband for years. Although yes she may have been frustrated the correct thing to do, would have been to split up with her husband first!
Here is a link to a website that has some quick facts about infidelity
