It's essentially "legal" to cheat on your spouse in the United States (adultery laws are not actually enforced), so would the same person do it here? Legality and morality are quite often at odds with each other, the left is hoping that most people don't realize this as they use the courts to "legalize" as many things as possible.
"It's essentially "legal" to cheat on your spouse in the United States (adultery laws are not actually enforced), so would the same person do it here? "
I can't say. Prostitution is legal in a couple of counties in Nevada. You're correct that adultery is essentially legal in the USA. It's literally legal in most states.
So, would this person do the same here? I suppose if he were in Nevada, he might. His point appeared to be that, since it was legal for him to use a prostitute in Amsterdam, it was OK for him to do so.
I doubt his wife would have agreed. When I got married, I promised to be faithful to my wife, and have been. This guy made the same promise, I imagine, but did not find it wrong to have sex with a prostitute in Amsterdam...because it was legal for him to do that there.
Laws do not work to keep people from doing immoral things, in my opinion. Either they honor their commitments and are faithful to their promises or they are not.
I lost my respect for this man that day. Have I ever been tempted? You bet. Have I committed adultery? Once, while married to my former wife. I never did that again. The guilt my conscience gave me made that impossible.
