Personally I wouldn't want to know.

We have an actual agreement on this, me and my wife: try not to cheat, but if it happens, do everything to keep the other from knowing.

What you don't know can't hurt you -- or at least that's the basis for our arrangement for monogamy between fallible humans. I've heard many arguments for and against it -- the point is that it's OUR arrangement, and YOU have nothing to do with it.

>What you don't know can't hurt you

Let's say your partner cheated on you and they didn't tell you. Let's also say the person they cheated with lied about having an STD.

In this case, I claim that not knowing can not only damage your marriage but also damage your health.
