writes: I have a question of opinion here. Do you guys believe that people are as loyal as their options allow them to be? Otherwise, in most cases, will someone leave the person they are with for a "better" catch? I personally believe that most people are opportunistic and the only reason I have any faith in marriage is (and this might sound stupid) because of celebrities. When you think about it, if you were a huge star that half a billion people wanted the opportunity to be with, your options are very open. However, maybe the few celebrity marriages out there that do last are only because either they aren't caught, or they're afraid of what everyone might think (their reputation from fans, family, etc.) What do you guys think on this subject? When two people are in love and if someone better happens to come along, do you think most people would want to try out something new, or stick with what they're happy with? I know it's circumstantial, so feel free to elaborate. A friend of mine recently told me "If you have a 6 sitting at home that adores the shit out of you, you aren't going to leave for a 10 who gives you only half the attention and admiration".

 I've wondered this myself.
I've definately heard a lot about people leaving their significant other to be with someone "better looking" or younger, but I also think it's possible that two people can care for each other and remain faithful.
We are all human and can succumb to weakness, but that doesn't mean one doesn't care about his or her parter.
Most people I think, can remain married or in a relationship with their parter for years and never cheat.
It really depends on the person, AND the person you're with.
But this is also something I've stuggled with trying to rationalize.
