However, I believe that Great Men can still be great even if they cheated. What’s the big deal?
I personally don’t like the word “cheat” because it implies something bad. For all we know, Hillary couldn’t care less who Bill sleeps with. But our society is just hypocritical about such matters. The French are much more well-adjusted.

I was referring to your suggestion that cheating “isn’t a big deal,” and your implication that it’s “not something bad.” Just ask the spouse who was cheated on if it was “a big deal” or if it was “bad.” I have a suspicion they would disagree vehemently with your position.
You seem to think that the people who are cheating are the only ones who need to consent to the extramarital relationship. You’re forgetting about the spouse who is being cheated on, and with whom the cheater most likely has an agreement regarding fidelity. That is the only relationship that is legally recognized, and it’s the relationship where consent (to have extramarital relationships) needs to occur.
