I think normalizing having more partners even in a stable relationship with one partner would make it much easier to actually talk to your partner and discuss it openly, because the percentage of partners that see it as something terribly wrong would be much lower and people wouldn't feel like speaking about such things is risky. That would reduce the need for cheating, although it wouldn't make it disappear (as it's not the only cause, as someone's correctly pointed out).

I agree with the part that it's really up to people. I don't agree it's ok to want people to hide their relarionships. And they do have to hide them or face problems. People who decide to live in uncommon relationships are a target for others. They often get questioned uncomfortably even by rather liberal people and attacked and bullied by conservative ones. It's really hard to do this openly. In such circumstances, I do think it's oppression. It's also not really about me. But I have eyes and empathy.

That's just not true. Open relationships do exist (I've seen several work out nicely) but the overall opinion on them in most cultures is they're weird, doomed or plain wrong and evil. Unless it is normalized that sex is not something fatal, it's ok among consenting adults, we won't move to a really sexually tolerant society.

I don't, I'm guessing.

Recomendations from others?

They hire people to do that for them, don't they?

I'd rather discuss lowering prices of quality cheese and the non existence of dinosaur patterns on women's clothes - which is scandalous!

I'm exactly what I want to be. And it's not another gender, I want to be a woman.

I also want to be a woman and don't have dysphoria - it's pretty common.

Yep, in many cases that could be a major improvement.
