What on earth is "you're only as faithful as your options." You've mentioned that a couple of times and I find it, I don't know, disgusting. Who says that?
I'm American, born & raised, with Franco American parents. I've NEVER heard that phrase and found it repulsive.
As a lawyer, in the Army, I was surrounded by men at a ratio of about 10 - 1. I'm attractive and at that time, was 30 y/o. I never cheated. I don't believe my h did either, and as an MD he is surrounded by women, esp nurses.
If we worried about the "options" we each had, we'd have been paralyzed by jealous insecurities.
It's a crazy phrase I've never heard before. I put no stock in it at all.
I reject the assertion of the 'saying' I never heard. Just mho.
