But people in open relationships have no need to use a site based on cheating. They just use OkCupid, which is fairly poly-friendly. Despite what you said, Ashley Madison doesn't facilitate relations between "consenting" adults, because in an affair, 1 or 2 people didn't consent: the spouses being cheated on.

Ashley Madison facilitated relations between consenting adults. Full stop. The jilted spouses had nothing to do with it. The jilted spouses weren't involved in the sex. Betrayal only occurred within a personal relationship, and the resolution of betrayal can only be handled within that relationship. For an Internet vigilante mob to throw what is entirely a private matter into a public light is irresponsible in the ex…

> Ashley Madison facilitated relations between consenting adults.

Unless all parties involved (spouses included) consented, this is partially false. Full stop.

> The jilted spouses had nothing to do with it.

The jilted spouses were betrayed, even if unaware and not "involved" in the sex. Full stop.

Even in cases where cheating is remotely justified, an honest conversation beats sneaking around.

>Betrayal only occurred within a personal relationship I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't test my luck with expecting a previously unfaithful partner to suddenly be faithful with me if they have a track record of unfaithfulness. I have more personal value in knowing if someone is unfaithful than if they are an RSO - and yet being an RSO is made public knowledge.

Not at all sure what you're saying here, nor what RSO means to you.

> Having an affair actually is illegal in almost half the US, and in some states, it's even a felony. Wow! United Saudi Arabia (USA)!

Saudi Arabia allows polygyny which is the complete opposite of this.

Saudi Arabia criminalizes adultery which is "having an affair". Polygyny means you're legally married which is allowed in Saudi Arabia but having an adulterous relationship is criminal.
