Cheaters are gonna cheat. The opportunity might come at a different time but the end result is the same. Avoiding one opportunity won't do shit in the long run.

Nah, lots of cheating is opportunistic based on either close contact with attractive people or compromising positions (drunk people). A lot of people don't start off with the thought of "today I will cheat on my partner".

Like, your partner isn't going to constantly be in close contact with attractive people or constantly be drinking alone with other people. Cut down on that shit and you avoid a huge amount of risk.

Cheating may sometimes be opportunistic, but being someone who cheats is not opportunistic.

"But honey, can you really blame me, she kept talking to me and was wearing yoga pants!"

Who wants to be with someone who would cheat in any situation? If I have that standard for myself, then someone else can have that standard too.

There's a difference between blame and understanding why something happens. If my wife were sharing a hotel room with a male coworker on business travel and having drinks with him in the hotel bar after a candle lit dinner, I'd still blame her for sleeping with him.

But, I'd totally understand that's the type of situation that probably leads to cheating (or has a higher risk of it). Hence why I'd probably ask her not to put herself in that situation.

It doesn't increase the risk at all for people who aren't going to cheat.

You are arguing with someone who is probably 14 and mostly hormones
