Is it normal to hate unfaithfulness and not really care about anything else?

I believe I'm a very open and tolerant person. I try to never judge anyone on something I've heard or read or anything. I don't even judge people on what they've done before I met them... I wouldn't choose not to be around someone who's done nearly ANYTHING, as long as I felt comfortable around them in the moment and they hadn't done anything to earn my dislike... I will however choose not to be around someone I know to be unfaithful - I don't mean it in a religious way just the normal definition of someone who is disloyal. I will actively avoid anyone who is unfaithful and I have ended quite alot of friendships with people who haven't done anything to me personally because of this... Is it normal to not really care about someone fx being convicted of a violent crime or someone being incredibly simpleminded, but absolutely hate unfaithful people with every inch of your body?

Just for information - I don't know that I've ever been cheated on or betrayed in any way so it's not like I have some personal experience to explain this with...

    I honestly stopped understanding around the phrase "violent crime". You care about whether somebody's unfaithful more than you care about if they're a rapist or a murderer? Do you really think that cheating on your significant other is worse than raping or murdering somebody? I don't think that's normal.

    Anyway, the way you think of people inside your own head is generally your own business. That said, you should care if your friends are violent, because you could be putting yourself in danger by hanging out with violent people.

    Well this is a little confusing... unfaithfulness in a relationship? I always see it as a toss up. And it depends what kind of relationship you have.

    Unfaithful as a friend? Depends how close you were, maybe they didn't have the same level of committment to you as you wanted from them.

    But it is said that the deepest circle of hell is reserved for traitors and mutineers, and that much I could agree with.

    Still. I'm much more inclined to judge someone convicted of a violent crime than someone who maybe wasn't the perfect friend. People make mistakes, many of which are forgivable. But you're honestly telling me you'd pick the guy who raped 20 women over the girl who cheated on her husband? I fail to see the logic.

    You used the word "unfaithful" too many times. It makes it sound like you mean something very specific but aren't explaining it.

    Commonly and possibly normally, teens can be easily seen as 'unfaithful' in their relationships (that may only last weeks) or even with their close friends, where they may inform others of personal 'secrets'.

    All this is just an immaturity issue.

    I'll tell you now that when I was in my early twenties I was constantly unfaithful to my girlfriends! It was put to me time and time again that once someone is unfaithful they will ALWAYS be unfaithful in ALL future relationships.

    But I 'grew up' and matured. I found the love of my life (well so I thought at the time, but that's another story) and ended up being 100% faithful for the 10 years we were together, including our actual marriage. ALL the way to the end (and then for nearly a year after the breakup, as I felt I could never find someone else)

    So I say to you that unfaithfulness is not the horrible thing that others make it out to be. People mature and become more responsible and sincere even for the rest of their life.

    My late teens, early twenties was just the fun fun fun stage of not caring who I hurt or of any the consequences. I was immature (as 100% likely that ALL males are at that age!)

    unfaithful, disloyal, and impious are three different things.
