The same "not sticking our noses into other people's relationships" was the root of the Family Values crowd in the 80's saying that domestic violence is a family issue, incest is a family issue, etc. Where do you draw the line at sticking your nose into other people's relationships? How about we put the line somewhere between physical force and broken promises? Just an idea.

I'm glad you can so easily weigh the damage of a punch vs. years of deceit. My impact calculus is a bit different.

The fact that one is a crime and the other isn't implies that we have generally decided that punching is worse. Feel free to lobby otherwise, though.
