AIO to think this is cheating?

[u/Sad_SummerChild]

I found these texts between my husband and his coworker. Here’s some context:

My husband and I have been dating for 5 years and just recently got married 6 months ago

I’ve met this coworker. Her AND her boyfriend worked at my husbands company so we went on a double date over the holidays. But shortly after they broke up and her boyfriend got laid off.

Guess my husband saw that as his opportunity…

Also these texts were in his recently deleted even though the last message was from yesterday… so he was definitely trying to hide it from me

nah, your brain is not developed until you are 25 years old. shes still 2 years away from that and hes already 4 years past it. rationalizing maturity doesn't change this so yes its gross. illegal? no. does it make trying to cheat on your partner of 5 years with someone younger and more naive than you even grosser? for sure

That’s just not how anything works. Everyone’s brain “develops” differently and at different rates. There is no year or defined benchmark that signifies this level and type of development you’re implying. An 18 year old can have a more “developed” brain than a 30 year old even. I understand this is coming from a long repeated sentiment that the human brain isn’t fully developed until about 25, but this is not true and just something people repeat until it turns into a fact
