It is very common in our society today to commit adultery. In "The Handsomest Drowned Man In The World" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a group of people in a village fish out a man, and the women find him very attractive. Although adultery is frowned upon by some people, other people may encourage it. Many people believe that if you are only thinking about someone who is not your spouse, then you are not doing anything wrong. This is far from the truth. Emotionally committing adultery is just the same as physically committing adultery.
In the story, every woman who came in contact with this man began to lust after him. It says, "They secretly compared him to their own men." When you are in a relationship, you should not think about all the things your spouse cannot do, and you should not compare him to other men. The story also says, "They ended up dismissing their men deep in their hearts." The man you are with should always be number one in your heart. The women in this story were emotionally committing adultery that night.
When you choose to be in a relationship with someone, you should not be obsessing about someone else who is not your spouse. Many women often think about other men instead of their spouse. Your spouse should be the first person on your mind because you could make yourself unhappy. You need to remember that you chose to be with that person, so you should respect that person. Sometimes people become careless in a relationship, but you should try hard if you want to make it work.
You should not lust after other men because that is just as bad as physically committing adultery. If you are going to think about another man, then just go be with that person.
