I'm almost in a long term marriage ( by your definition of 18 years). My wife and I have been married a little over 16 years.
The truth of the matter is, cheating is NEVER acceptable behavior. The more time that elapses (years of marriage) the greater the damage caused by infidelity. It is not easily forgiven as a "youthful indiscretion"; because, you've invested so much of your life in this relationship. Personally I would like to see harsh consequences for adultery in divorce settlements. It undermines the most basic tenants of civilization; trust, self control, family....and people guilty of it should be held accountable, at the very least, financially.

For most of us common folk, cheating on spouses, though very popular in every culture throughout history, is never supposed to be acceptable for a relationship. But it happens way too often, destroying trust and, eventually, relationships and families. Basically, men should not marry until their mid-thirties, forties - too many seeds to sow and so much growing up to do. But that is still no guarantee against extramarital affairs. Of course, it takes two to tango and many married women are, by no means, innocent either. Most long term marriages without a loving, trusting and sexually stimulating relationship are doomed. The ones that stay for their children are just plain wrong.

Cheating is never acceptable, no matter how long the relationship has been. Any relationship must be built on trust and respect. By definition, 'cheating' is when one partner hides an activity from the other. That requires lies. Lying destroys trust. Lack of trust destroys relationships.
Now, there are folks who look at this as 'play time.' Since I don't know your age, plus this forum is not conducive for a full explanation, I will simply refer to it as (in their own words) 'the lifestyle.' In these cases, extra marital activities are done with the full knowledge of the other partner. No lies, hence no loss of trust.
See the difference? I'm not saying whether I agree or not, but there are two sides (at least) to every story.

you never ever cheat, or you wind up divorced and alone
cheating is ANYTHING that you cant tell your spouse... sex, raunchy talk, kissing, touching, ect
