And I believe it was Glass that pointed out that infidelity relationships are NOT the same thing as as a conventional romantic relationship.

The lying, the taboo nature of cheating, the sneaking around - all of this artificially enhances the excitement of the relationship in an unhealthy way.

Conventional relatinoships aren't nearly as intoxicating or as destructive...

I think it was Glass that pointed this out, but I don't have the reference at the moment.

Comparing a drug addiction, infidelity, and conventional romance ... these are there different things.

The first two are far more dangerous and unhealthy than the third ever is.
