The kind of thing that should cost you your job? I don't get that part. It's not like he's the clergy for a church or something.

The point of marriage is commitment. Without it, the individuals might expect it, but the team should not. I cannot see how this is a termination issue. Lawsuit coming I think.

 

[Superbone]

Yes to which part.

The cheating part. If he had agreed to a monogamous relationship and then dated somebody else without breaking up first, that's cheating.

No, I didn't say that. He cheated on his girlfriend but it should have zero impact on a job.

I agree with you but you can also make a commitment outside of marriage. And even if he was married and cheated on his wife, it should have nothing to do with his job.

These discussions get so deep lately, I think I will leave it alone. But is a promise (if there was one) a contract?

It doesn't appear that you can leave it alone. It is for me. It's a verbal contract. It doesn't mean you can't get out of it but there's the moral, upstanding way and then there's the other way.

We agree, it's a moral thing and I personally find it binding, but I don't want to project my values onto others in judgment.

A contract requires consideration and a meeting of the minds. I'm not sure if a court would uphold it unless it is viewed as a common law marriage.

No, of course a court wouldn't uphold it. I'm just talking personally.
