The more individualism is hailed, the more such concepts would appear in society.
When the notion is that only your personal happiness matters and nothing else, marriages and relationships will break down.
I hold the age-old view that no infidelity should be supported. If two people can’t work it out, they can try and resolve their issues and nothing else works, go your separate ways.
But when a committed man/woman starts to adapt to “ethical cheating”, the relationship is bound to cease one way or another.
I am not aware of any open relationship in which both the partners are happy and content. On top of that, how do we know if they are happy? Nobody knows what a person feels even though they put on a smiling face and a facade of a happy life.
