I know she is still married legally. But this couple have not been together for over 5 years. Although this is not the case in this thread, there are times when this argument is valid. I have a friend whose husband abandoned her with twin babies and a two year old - all boys. They have recently concluded a NINE YEAR custody fight (that's New York State for you). It took so long that the judge on the case died and they had to start again. She is now opening dating someone with the approval of her boys and her ex. No secrets, she is just a BW that had a lot of bad luck.

Divorced - he was a serial adulterer
Now remarried, thank you MB

Who looks for the approval of their ex to date? There is surely more to this story.

Yuck. Who looks for the approval of their ex to date? There is surely more to this story. In NY you need the approval of the other parent if you wish your children and BF to be in the house together. I presume from your question that other states allow a free for all? Mine were older so that was something I was spared.

The specific question of "once a cheater, always a cheater?" was addressed on yesterday's Radio Show.
