It makes no sense to cheat on your SO, esp with someone who also is committed, and then down the road hope for a trustworthy and strong relationship with your lover. Why? Because you cheated on your current SO / he/she cheated on his/her SO, so who's to say you/he/she won't go sideways in new relationship. There is a tendency to, it's no longer a taboo, so trust cannot be built on it.

Same applies to work matters. If your sidegigs/clients/potentional new employer urge you to work less for your 9-5 and spend more time on their matters, they cannot expect you to NOT do the same thing with them -- if you budge and do as told, you might as well 'steal' time [overcharge] from them and spend it for other clients.

Trust is fragile. Don't ask me to quietly break my current agreements to work for you more if you expect me to be a reliable asset in your endeavours

    Preach, granted if you charge by the hour you can swap the hours around. Though cheaters in relationships deserve the wood chipper

    Relationships are usually 1:1 and even when they aren't there are usually very few people involved, business is almost always between groups with an order of magnitude difference in size.

    with this in mind, the smaller unit should only ever trust the larger unit when there is precedent of abuse being remediated through paths the particular smaller unit is able to pursue. For example, if the evidence for remediation is a lawsuit and you can't afford one, you should assume that you're going to be betrayed the moment it pays off, and the larger unit will not suffer any consequences.

    ironically, this means that a business that never took advantage of a single employee, never demanded or accepted overtime, always paid on time and in full, always met but never exceeded its obligations, is one that you can trust less than a business that frequently demanded overtime or deferred payment but was always open to satisfactory remediation. The first business you can trust under normal circumstances, but if they ever ask you to do overtime, there's zero precedent for how they handle it. With the second business you know exactly what you're getting into if you're lenient in any particular case.
