Please read all the choices before voting because there is some overlap. For the sake of this argument pretend the couple has no children.

I edited the OP to specifically exclude children to make this more straight cut about the couple.Good job leaving his children out of the equation. Minor details.
Standard wedding vows.How can anyone pick the first option without knowing what the vows were?
Good question.Do I know this couple?
I wouldn't judge the guy unless I knew the detailsPlease read all the choices before voting because there is some overlap. For the sake of this argument pretend the couple has no children.
Good question.
Would your answer change depending on how well you know the man? Does him being a close friend vs. a coworker or neighbor you kind of know vs. a celebrity you don’t personally know change your answer?
Yes, really.1) Only men? Really?
Yeah, I should have created “Yes: other” and “No: other” options.Yes, but not so clearly your options 1 or 2.
What are your reasons then?2) My opinion about that person absolutely changes for the worse. But not for the reasons you stated so I didn't vote.
No and even in instances when a wife isn’t being a good wife the person could get a divorce and then started sleeping around.My friend was cheating on his wife they are in the process of getting a divorce. My opinion would never change of him because he is my friend and I know what it would take for him too cheat. There is always two sides to the story. If a man is cheating it is almost always the womans fault. Imo.

Do you have to wait for the divorce to be finalized or you can you start sleeping around after filing for divorce?No and even in instances when a wife isn’t being a good wife the person could get a divorce and then started sleeping around.
Once the couple agrees to split/breakup then no issues - also no issues if the couple have an open marriage. But if you committed to a monogamous relationship then keep your commitment or bail.Do you have to wait for the divorce to be finalized or you can you start sleeping around after filing for divorce?
I love it. Inspired by Ortiz, so conveniently leaving his children out of the equation makes perfect sense -- they shouldn't matter in all this. And in order to get your poll results more to your liking, they would only screw that up. Damn kids.The question was inspired by the David Ortiz thread.
Haha, this one made me LOL for real.Attention shoppers,
We got hot takes in aisle 4.
There’s nothing stopping you from starting a poll adding kids into the equation.I love it.

Nice work. Inspired by Ortiz is right.
I agree with you on relationships but in the ideal world guys wouldn't have to lose half their crap and losing their children just by getting a divorce. Why would a guy want that. That is why alot of men cheat it is the wifes failure to be a good wife.Once the couple agrees to split/breakup then no issues - also no issues if the couple have an open marriage. But if you committed to a monogamous relationship then keep your commitment or bail.
What he said.I probably think all of your options, when I learn of somebody's infidelities: man or woman.
I lose respect for anyone who doesn't have the internal grit to be honest with their partner that things need to change. To me, the whole point of a relationship is that you pledge to build communication and trust with that person for mutual benefit. You take honesty out of the equation and you're crippling your own relationship, and setting yourself up for pain/drama.
On the other hand, I also don't really feel a need to judge people too harshly. Walk a mile in their shoes, etc.
I think a lot of things, though. And probably care less about my thoughts than most people on this board.
Yep, it may be seen as inconsistent (and probably is) but I’m fine with folks divorcing if they want but not with infidelity.This is interesting wording.
I'll pass.There’s nothing stopping you from starting a poll adding kids into the equation.
I could be on board with the get out if you wanna cheat thought but the cards are stacked against men on this.I’m pretty close to Chaka’s take. I think less of people who cheat - if you don’t want to be with the person then breakup/divorce. But it can also not be my business - I would have no intention on inserting myself in their issues. But if you ask my opinion then I think less of them.
How about on your taxes?If you cheat on your wife or at golf you I have no respect for you.
Do you think that maybe... just maybe... “woman” was used in lieu of “wife or girlfriend” in the title because your word number is limited and the question applies to both marriages and serious, monogamous dating? You tell me — would “wife” apply to the latter?But speaking of wording, I love yours in your poll question: "man cheating on his woman", instead of something actually accurate, like a husband cheating on his wife and children.
Am I trying to make a point or did I provide a neutral question with equal options on both sides of the equation for potential answers?And your poll options you chose to try and make your point are even more .
Do you have to wait for the divorce to be finalized or you can you start sleeping around after filing for divorce?
You'd get hung up with the paperwork? That's exactly why I don't believe in marriage. Commitment has nothing to do with paperwork.No and even in instances when a wife isn’t being a good wife the person could get a divorce and then started sleeping around.
