a child was mine. That approach rationalizes jealousy very
quickly.

Would not a judge determine whether a child was yours or not? What if there
exists, a situation where a child does not result, yet infidelity is still
undertaken? Wouldn't a person still feel betrayed by the infidelity? Are we,
as the highest of anthrpoid apes, still driven exclusively, by
genetic/behavioral determinism, or are we as intelligences, slightly, more
ego-bound?
