It's wrong based on consent.

If one party in the married pair – who consented to be with each other forever, usually in front of many others – defies that consensual agreement, then what they did is wrong.

Otherwise you can just use a thought-terminating cliche like "all rules / words / ideas are made up" and end any meaningful discourse.

Yep, that's it. I'll never understand why the cheater doesn't just break the marriage up if there is infidelity. He looks too old to be this immature.

Money / social fallout. Every single time. Divorces are expensive, and so is therapy for your kids family structure loss trauma.

Then don't cheat? Pick one or the other.

Edit: this isn't directed at you.
