So, a while ago it came out that my uncle（who's from outside the family and married in) cheated on my aunt (mom's sister).
They're still married. Honestly not sure what they'll do since he is the one with the job and our family doesn't have enough to support her and her children.
But I just don't get it. I get falling out of love or even finding other people besides your spouse attractive, but cheating is just such a layered lasagna of shit.
1.You want to eat your cake and have it too. (There's an entire community of people who cheat on their spouses called "cake eaters."). I don't understand what you get out of that though unless you're just really lustful (and even I wouldn't do that and I'm a lustful removed). If you want to break up/divorce that's fine but you can't just have emotional/physical relationships without changing anything. Which leads to point 2
2.How little fucking respect do you have for your wife and family? Because the thing is that youre denying your partner any autonomy in the relationship. You dont even respect them enough to even talk about it, or you don't respect them enough to think they deserve to know about it or will ever find out.
I mean look, there been some stories I've heard where I understand, if the relationship is already dead. It still sucks but I can understand if it's inevitable anyway. But otherwise i just can't conceptualize how selfish and shit you have to be to do it.
And I wouldn't ask if it wasn't so common. I mean it doesn't happen in every relationship but it's so common basically everyone is paranoid their partner is cheating on them. So I just really don't get it
I do not no i just listed 2 of the most common neurodivergences thats why it says etc too. I was talking about neurodivergent people in general. Keep in mind this is some study i read years ago i just had to search up to find for you so it wasnt exactly fresh in my mind when i made that comment lol.
When you are reading that study notice it wasn't just a study of autistic people but of neurotypical people too. The neurotypical group were the ones more likely to engage in the "bad" option behavior. Since this study specifically selected for ASD and Neurotypical people you cant make any determination on ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergents from it specifically.
So i did make a mistake there the non-ASD neurodivergents should be their own group as an unknown as to how they'd generally respond. But i would guess theres atleast a bit of overlap with ASD and some other types of nuerodivergency on this. Since its pretty common to have overlaps like that.
So we have,
Neurotypicals: Data shows their moral decision making is more flexible especially when not being observed.
ASD: Data shows them as much more moraly rigid and even when not observed will do what they feel is morally correct more often.
ADHD, and other neurodivergencies: No Data
Gotcha, I know ADHD has an extremely high occurrence rate on ASD diagnosed people so it would be elevated if not simply for the fact that this behavior is common in ASD folk as is ADHD (I believe roughly 70% of people tested diagnosed with ASD who test for ADHD are diagnosed with that as well though this is me also vaguely recalling a study I read some time ago). I wasn't sure if there was information I had missed regarding similar trends in ADHD populations when controlled for ASD co-occurrence.
