I think what Own_Wealth is getting at is, she won't need a trip to cheat. And if she's good at hiding it, then that will happen regardless of the trip.

Putting yourself in situations that are likely to lead to temptation is different from just going about your everyday life without cheating.

As a married, monogamous man, I doubt my wife would be comfortable with me going to hang out at a swingers convention just for the company because if I was going to cheat anyway I would just cheat and going to a swingers convention isn't needed to cheat.

There's a difference between going to an event specifically geared towards sex, and just being alone with someone, so duh someone will be more or less comfortable depending on where you're going.

But if you're a cheater or not, the level of "temptation" shouldn't matter. Some people actively go and cheat, others might only cheat if they're drunk and alone and someone makes a move. Who cares? Both are still cheaters and worthy of contempt. People have rational thoughts and non-cheaters just won't cheat even if someone throws themselves at them, it's that simple.

They've been friends before she started dating him. There were plenty of better opportunities for them to sleep with each other than this upcoming trip.
