When I first heard it I figured it would be off the air about immediately. It was too stupid, I mean they were preserving their love?
But it apparently hit a chord because it is on repeat, it is their main coomerical. When I was young being a cuckold was abad thing. I do not get it.

I had two thoughts come to mind after pondering this while waiting for my turn at a 10 am cattle call scheduling conference at the East Podunkville Justice Complex (they get annoyed in that part of the district when you call it "the courthouse"). The first potential rationale came pretty quickly, but I am now convinced that the second one is more likely to be the correct one.
First thought: Ashley Madison is marketing to women for some reason. Maybe to just get more women in the system so the listings aren't 90 married dudes to 5 pranksters, 4 private eyes/divorce lawyers/suspicious wives, and 1 bored grad student in sociology.
Second thought: Ashley Madison has decided to give cheating husbands a reason to help them rationalize their cheating - "hey, this chick on the commercial is saying that she loves her husband but still wants/needs a little strange. That means it's ok for me to do that, too." It's probably more effective than having a smarmy dude say the same thing.
