This question explores whether moral values and ethical behavior can be fully established and maintained without relying on religious doctrines or belief in a divine being. It considers whether religion is necessary to define what is right and wrong, or whether secular frameworks—such as reason, empathy, societal norms, or evolutionary psychology—can independently sustain a moral system.

Many women take pleasure in expressing their femininity and receiving compliments. However, does being in a committed relationship change what is appropriate in this regard? Is it still acceptable to seek appreciation from others outside the relationship?

To be clear, this question specifically concerns women who are already in committed partnerships, not those who are seeking a partner.
