I really hate to tromp on all your philosophic meanderings but it is a fact that Homo sapiens sapiens is not a monogamous animal otherwise there would, probably, never be infidelity. Just look at the Mormons and their instance that males could and should have multiple wives. You disagree? Then why did the females go along with that belief? It wasn't just because that culture mandated multiple wives but, rather, because of some genetic need probably a genetic hold over from a primitive culture that necessitated the need to maximize genetic diversity. I am not suggesting nor believing in the belief that males are superior to females physically, mentally, politically, socially or any other ways.
As I said above Homo sapiens sapiens is not a monogamous animal neither a male or female is less likely as the other to "stray". If we were monogamous infidelity would never, or at least seldom, happen. Straying has nothing to do with morality, it has to do with very basic human nature, i.e. maximizing the spread of one's genes in the case of the male and optimizing the "fittest genes" i.e. fittest genes by the female.
Of course in our culture not all males can unite with the most favorable females and vice versa. Is it better(?) to pass along your genes than to not pass them along? If so there will be some "infidelity".
Why not accept it and get along with life?
