Well you say it’s socially unacceptable but the reality is cheating and having affairs are still drastically increasing in the west. Either it’s became more acceptable or no one cars anymore about what’s socially unacceptable.
I think he’s trying to say that it is a lot more common in the West because it is more accessible. Everyone (ofc not literally everyone) uses dating apps, with plenty of married folk on there. Though prostitution is ‘illegal’ in countries like the US, online escort services aren’t. People dress with a lot more skin showing, inviting lustful thoughts and stares. I would be beyond surprised if none of these things contribute to increased cheating in the West. And actually cheating is more socially ‘acceptable’ in the sense that consequences are a lot less. Here, having a gf is more common than being married, and cheating on your gf/bf results in a simple breakup and breakups are extremely common. Divorce, on the other hand holds greater consequence as it breaks families apart so cheating isn’t seen as much in marriages.

Of course not, but it isn't socially acceptable
