As we mature and enter into relationships with one another, we make mistakes of all types, but some mistakes can quickly end a relationship. Cheating has always been a big taboo in relationships because the whole point of two people entering into a relationship is to be exclusive to only each other. In a pre-marital relationship you can just walk away with nothing holding you two together but what if the two are married. Instead of plain cheating it has become adultery which is a breach of the marriage contract between two people. I claim that adultery is impermissible because at the time you sign the marriage document and or bound religiously, you enter into an agreement with the other person in which you will be faithful to the other fully.

Many humans believe they will marry once because they have found there lover and never want to be left without them. In Greek mythology the strength of humans was vast because before Zeus played his hand. Two humans were actually one being. The love these beings had for each other was so great that if one half should die the other would die as well because living without there other half would be more painful than death itself. Zeus did not like how powerful humans were as one, so he cut the one being in two and humans were formed from the halves.

In the moment of explanation it’s hard to look at the person who betrayed you and hear that what you fought for amounted to nothing especially from a loved one. It’s in shame that we confess our faults to our other half but even sometimes the confession cannot be spoken. In the beginning of Symposium, Phaedrus makes the statement that “If a man in love is found doing something shameful, or accepting shameful treatment because he is a coward and makes no defense, then nothing would give him more pain than being seen by the boy he loves” (163). Phaedrus is saying that between two people if one of them should have acted shamefully the most pain would be to the one who committed the shameful act and could not bear to see their loved one feel the pain of knowing there shame. This can be seen in a marriage when one person commits adultery and is sorry of their actions. A couple knows marriage is a bond that is built through pain and perseverance but is so fragile that it can be broken in a poor
