Ashley Madison facilitated relations between consenting adults. Full stop. The jilted spouses had nothing to do with it.

The jilted spouses weren't involved in the sex. Betrayal only occurred within a personal relationship, and the resolution of betrayal can only be handled within that relationship. For an Internet vigilante mob to throw what is entirely a private matter into a public light is irresponsible in the extreme, and tangentially is probably harmful to the spouses being cheated on as well.



> Ashley Madison facilitated relations between consenting adults.

Unless all parties involved (spouses included) consented, this is partially false. Full stop.

> The jilted spouses had nothing to do with it.

The jilted spouses were betrayed, even if unaware and not "involved" in the sex. Full stop.

Even in cases where cheating is remotely justified, an honest conversation beats sneaking around.


The spouses weren't involved.


>Betrayal only occurred within a personal relationship

I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't test my luck with expecting a previously unfaithful partner to suddenly be faithful with me if they have a track record of unfaithfulness.

I have more personal value in knowing if someone is unfaithful than if they are an RSO - and yet being an RSO is made public knowledge.


Not at all sure what you're saying here, nor what RSO means to you.
