Youre presuming love was there. Its not a requirement for marriage you know.
Youre again presuming that he cared about his wife, which i find doubtful if he was getting him some strange in argentina.
I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. His oath of office says nothing about him or any other official cheating on their spouse. It's the fact that he cheated on someone that he cared about and did something harmful to her and their kids. If they can cheat their families they can cheat you, the voter.

You have a pretty cynical view of marriage. The percent of people who get married that don't love or care for each other is very small, imo. Now, they may lose those feelings later but it would be up to them to do the honest thing and get a divorce and not be an oath breaker. Maybe they still do care but got caught up in the moment or let their feelings go down avenues that shouldn't be taken.

Point is, you aren't as important as their family is to them. So what's stopping them from cheating you?
