Okay. And that's a good indication that harm based moral systems don't work.

When an open relationship is more committed than it's contemporary "traditional relationships" - then why would it be wrong?(March 12, 2020 at 12:43 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: There may be other morally relevant facts. Maybe we can take harm away and an open marriage would still be wrong. It's up to you to suggest what those other relevant facts might be, if you wish to contend....as you do...that infidelity is wrong as a matter of fact.
I already explained why open marriage cannot be right, it betrays commitment.

Aw, that's touching. I don't know if you really think this stuff through. The thing is, a caring husband would prefer commiting to his one and only spouse, rather than pick up these values from a (bitch) third party being around.

I am aware they exist, pal. The thing is, these people are engaged in an immoral, invalid engagement, no matter how sweet and fantastic their *relationship* is. If you feel like you need to take into account every existing relationship out there you think is too cute to rule out, you might want to consider purchasing a new, more efficient moral system.
Maybe you need to hear the gentle sex's opinion about bringing in third parties to learn commitment.
Good, I'm glad that you're aware that they exist. Now that we've dispensed with that, and you acknowledge their sheer existence...kindly explain to me what...exactly...is wrong about their relationships?
You're struggling. I'm not. In that event, there is nothing objectively..which is to say factually...wrong with their relationships. Do you disagree?
