Do you think it’s possible for a man to know a woman so well that he can pick a virtuous woman who won’t cheat on him or divorce him for petty reasons?

This is a blind spot for a lot of traditional and conservative people.

Cheating doesn't have as much to do with virtue as it does with some level of interest x opportunity x calculated chances of not being discovered x calculated chances of successfully being forgiven if discovered.

It doesn't begin and and with virtue. Perfectly virtuous people can run that calculation in a situation and make very poor decisions.

This is distinct from serial cheaters, or course.
