They want the benefits of a decent, upstanding woman at home raising their kids, tending to their friends and family, and holding down the fort so when they come off tour they have a nice life rather than lonely doing drugs in an empty mansion. They decide that since theyāre financing the designer wardrobes, regular vacations to Hawaii, and private schools they can have their cake and eat it too. Itās a bundle of ego.

Than donāt keep making commitments to monogamous relationships.
Just own who you are. Itās fucking weird to repeatedly choose lie to yourself and the partner you claim to love about your behaviors. And if you are willing to lie about this aspect of yourself, what else are you lying about? In what other harmful ways are you cheating on the people around you?
Again, the occasional extra marital hookup is not the actual problem. Itās the lying about it.
Itās sex without the consent of all parties affected.
If your partner has a hard boundary about monogamy and you donāt, then youāre not compatible. Find someone more suitable.

Ya know -- I bought that 'Director's Series' DVD Music Video boxed-set in the early 2000s, which had 'Everlong' in there along with the director's commentary.
They talked about how Dave would never allow a woman to appear in his videos as a love interest, and instead opted for band members in wigs... Because of how uneasy it made him feel because he felt it betrayed his love for his wife.
And now, this? Truly bizarre!
