If someone makes a monogamous commitment and fucks up, I believe the wronged party is likelier to forgive the betrayal if the wronged party understands that monogamy is hard, that screwing someone else doesn’t mean a person is no longer in love with his or her spouse, and if the cheated were encouraged to give cheaters some credit for time served.
