Yes, there are. Such stories often involve themes that violate the norms of monogamous relationships and can be considered disrespectful to the institution of marriage. It promotes unethical behavior in terms of relationship fidelity.
These stories can have a complex impact. On one hand, they can create a sense of shock and discomfort among many people who uphold traditional values. On the other hand, in a more liberal view, some might see it as just a form of fictional exploration. But overall, it could contribute to the loosening of moral boundaries in society regarding relationships if it becomes too widespread.
In general, it is not ethical. Such stories often involve themes that can be disrespectful and violate the privacy and dignity of relationships. Literature should promote positive values and healthy relationships rather than focusing on such potentially demeaning scenarios.
There are also stories about self - discovery within a relationship. Such as a young husband realizing his own strengths and weaknesses through his relationship with his wife, and they both grow as individuals and as a couple in a positive and healthy way.
It's difficult to say how common they are. In today's society, with so many distractions and opportunities for people to interact outside of their marriages, there may be more instances than in the past. But still, a large number of marriages are based on loyalty and commitment, so while it does occur, it might not be the norm. There are also cultural factors at play. In some cultures, any behavior that could lead to a husband feeling cuckolded is highly frowned upon and less likely to happen openly.
Well, it's not that common but it does happen. In some cases, it might be due to a breakdown in communication within a marriage. For example, if a husband is always busy at work and neglects his wife's emotional needs, she might form a closer bond with a friend which could potentially lead to such a situation. But overall, most people value loyalty in relationships and such occurrences are the exception rather than the rule.
Yes, as I mentioned before, 'Beauty and the Beast' can be seen as a positive one. Their relationship grows based on mutual understanding and kindness, and age doesn't seem to be a hindrance in their journey to love.
Such stories can cause discomfort and controversy. They might explore power dynamics and issues of trust within relationships. However, it's important to note that these are fictional scenarios and not representative of all real-life situations.
One example could be in 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. The story involves an older man's inappropriate and complex relationship with a young girl. However, this is a rather controversial and disturbing tale that also delves into themes of obsession and the abuse of power.
