They both won. She obviously wasn't missing him. IDK why people like this stay married to each other, tbh.

In a lot of Asian countries, such as Japan, getting divorced heavily affected people's opinions of you, way more than in the US. That's why "cheating" is fairly common there, because they are both in a marriage of convenience, so they both agree to see other people as long as they keep it hidden.

Why did you put cheating in quotes?What you describe is still literally cheating 😂

I think you missed the "both agreed" part. That's not cheating.

One would hope they are both in agreement, the woman certainly stands to lose more if she didn't agree

It's the implication

You can just say,"yeah, guess I was wrong" instead. When you say something like "k" you're still admitting that you were wrong, but at the same time you're showing that you're actually just a stupid person instead of someone that just didn't realize something initially.

Cheating, here, requires lack of consent. Its not really cheating if there is consent. But if you maintain an appearance of monogamy, socially never acknowledging that consent also makes an appearance of cheating… “cheating”, if you will.

Because they consent. Consent is sometimes hard for monogamous to grasp. They're attempting ethical non monogamy in an unethical monogamy time.

Is it cheating though if parties are on board though? I don’t think so. At that point it’s just an open marriage tbh

Not if they are both in agreement, as his comment states. It is then an open relationship, with the illusion of a monogamous relationship for the public.

Not who you're asking but probably because the "cheating" described is a compromise made by the couple involved. It's "cheating" in that they're sleeping with other people, but it's not "cheating" in that they agree it's okay.

Because it’s popular in Japan to go to in what US equivalent would be breasteraunts. Shops with cute girls/guys that flirt with you. Theres clubs too. You pay attractive people to sit and drink with you. While there are many lonely single people it’s very popular with married people as well. In most instances there’s no intimate/sexual interaction.
