    I would assume it means having sex outside marriage. Not seen as a big deal on France. Big deal elsewhere, but its a spectrum. There are lots of promises we make, that we don’t keep. Some are big, like infidelity, in most countries. Some are smaller and breaking them isn’t immoral.

    If you promise to pick up bananas on the way home and forget that’s not a moral issue. I assume the same level of commitment is considered in France by some, for sex. For others, they may just accept infidelity as normal and just ask that its kept private.

      "Not a big deal” doesn’t mean not immoral. Littering is not that big of a deal, but it’s still immoral.

      And your banana analogy doesn’t fit, because the person simply forgot to get bananas, infidelity doesn’t happen because a person forgot that they were in a monogamous relationship

        Your morals and the morals of >50% of French respondents obviously don’t align.

          That’s not at all a certain conclusion, based on the other possibilities i listed that could’ve led to these same numbers. It’s at least as likely that it’s a badly constructed poll. There isn’t even a source cited for this picture. As the science saying goes: garbage in, garbage out
