It is as important as many of the other factors that are parts of why 2 people are together. And if that stops and it was a big part of your life, sadly many people go elsewhere to find that missing part. This is not a male or female issue. It is both seeking something that they are missing in their current relationships.
Not necessarily so! Many stray for the sake of it. Many men stray like this thinking it's "manly" to aquire such a 'women count' as it "proves their manhood". I even know some women who fool around because of "well, men do it why not women" crap.
You commit to a long term relationship and you should accept the good with the bad. Sometimes there are dry spells and it's up to one or the other to get that dry spell stopped! You don't say "fuck it, I'm going to find it someplace else." In Edward's case couldn't he wait till his wife is dead? OR divorce her? He lacks self control PERIOD.
If you've taken your vows before a priest or other religious ceremony that means you believe in those vows as well as the civil ones that bind you. To me, the infidelity is even more agregious! You've now betrayed your 'higher power and belief system'.
If you are so lacking in self control, you have no business in a long term relationship. Stay single!
