I've talked to a few people about this and I'm surprised at the two totally different philosophies people hold on this. From what I can tell, it seems partially due to how someone was raised. My sister for example holds the same view that I do and I think it's because of what my mother taught us about it. I'm curious to see what you guys think. I'll try to keep this as simple as possible:
In regards to cheating:
* Should one trust oneself and their mate to never cheat no matter what? Will the love that the couple have for each-other make them affair proof?
or
* Should one not trust themself or their mate to withstand cheating in all circumstances? Is it healthy to see one self as weak to a certain extent and avoid temptations? Should systems be in place to help one self avoid an affair?

I would say the second. Unfortunately. Don't get drunk with mixed company would be the biggest "system" in place to avoid an affair. That and avoid being 1 on 1 with a member of the opposite sex. It's just not safe (90% of the time).
- where to begin....
