Yes, if they do it before a divorce is finalized. One just doesn't "fall in love" with someone else by accident. Many, many other 'little rules and trusts' have to be broken along the way before one could reach the point of "falling in love" with someone else while still married to another person. As far as I'm concerned, I'd have no problem with sending someone to jail for a year, depending on the circumstance. Not sure why I'm even answering you question Robx, I suppose for others who might have the same question.


WOW, so you're saying that you consciously decide who you fall in love with? Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly (if that's the case, what a surprise?)

I put you in a room with 10 women, I pick which one you get to fall in love with and you just fall in love like that?

No.

Attraction between 2 people is an emotional response based on so many different things - it's not a choice. You don't get to choose who you are attracted to and fall in love with (at least I never have in my own experiences), you just fall in love with someone and it happens.

Like it or not, it is possible for people to fall out of love with their spouses and significant others, these forums are filled with people where this has happened and it's possible for them to fall in love with other people.

Affairs suck, adultery sucks and it does seem sometimes that loyalty, commitment, fidelity are all foreign concepts.

What's next if we throw people in jail for falling out of love with their spouses? If you take your spouse for granted, don't give them all the attention, love, and security that they want that you go to jail as well?

If that's the case we're all going to jail then.
