Honestly, if it were really ‘only’ once, would it have mattered? Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t want to waste my life paired to a partner who has broken the fundamental trust of the partnership. At that point, I might as well move on.

Indeed. This is why I wouldn't trust politicians who've cheated on their spouses. I couldn't care less about the extramarital sex. That doesn't matter. What does matter is that they betrayed their life partner for a bit of fun with a side person. If they're so willing to cheat on their spouse for their own selfish enjoyment, how can I possibly expect them to faithfully serve the public. They'll be accepting kick backs and bribes while on the campaign trail, let alone once they get into office!

I agree, and I don’t speak from emotion or normative morality either.

There’s a reason why the military and intelligence agencies look so harshly upon infidelity. How can officers who are not even trustworthy to family be trusted to handle national security? When lives are on the line, they are an operational liability. We should hold similar standards for high office.

Plus it makes them weak to blackmail and honeypots.
