I think it was a good jumping off point into this episode to ask the question, if you are in a relationship where two people are hopefully open about seeing other people, sleeping with other people, having sexual relationships with other people, can cheating even exist?
Dedeker: Well, first of all, if you’re out there listening and immediately having your feathers ruffled up, if you just go read this article, probably the outrage question that you have is answered. I wouldn’t say that it is necessarily answered satisfactorily, I think that rather than being a very well-thought-out treatise on what motivates this person and their values behind encouraging their friends to cheat.

That also falls in, I think, a similar line of thinking of, “I need to burn down this abortion clinic, because that’s the only way that this is going to get fixed and this is the only way that’s going to send the message.”
