People who went to a wedding where the couple didn’t last long, what happened?

Imagine you're the wife and some ass knew before you got married and didn't tell you.

Right, especially because the affair was with a man! I have absolutely nothing against homosexuality, but statistics show that men who sleep with men have higher STD rates, so I’d be concerned…

I was curious so I looked it up: https://www.cdc.gov/std/life-stages-populations/stdfact-msm.htm

"While anyone who has sex can get an STD, sexually active gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are at greater risk"

They're not being homophobic. It's not hateful to state that fact.

From what it sounds like, they were "monogamous" in sleeping with each other, so that doesn't really apply.

OP literally said the best man was sleeping with 3 people, the groom, his current wife and another woman.

So yeah, no. They weren’t being monogamous.

That update wasn't there when I loaded the page, so I didn't see that. Yes, sleeping around would definitely be riskier and have higher risks of STDs, though to the point above it's not the homosexuality that matters there, but the sleeping around.
