From your neutral and measured tone, I'll assume you're not speaking from personal experience.

You either love your S/O or you do not.
That doesn't jive with my personal experience. I've experienced a lot of gradations of attraction and of selfishness over the years. I definitely can't say it was always just one of those to polar opposites.
Pro Tip: Make the decision not to cheat before you begin any relationship. Once in a relationship, learn to not let your eyes wander.
That seems like a great idea, but after years of trying, I can't imagine how I'd ever pull that off.
Maybe some marriage counseling and/or one-on-one counseling for her? Sounds like she may have a source of unhappiness that only a pro can help her understand.
Unless the jealousy leads her to give you blow jobs. Then you have a real quandary.
I get the feeling most of the profiles are fake anyway to pull in gullible males.
Never give in to blackmail.
Even better yet: Make every effort to be loyal to your spouse. If you fail, repent, hope for forgiveness, and try harder next time. Flee from all forms of temptation to do evil.
Easier said than done, to be sure.
You're always in the position of having to trust the maker of your OS, unless it's you.
More like, especially if it's me. I've seen the way I code.
Fridays are the traditional days for Dice SJW clickbaiting.
Gag orders and national security letters have no place in the Land of the Free.
This should be too obvious to even be worth saying.
Some would-be applicants might appreciate hearing the company name.
Warner wouldn't steal a car, would they?
Free of drunk people, or homeless people who smell so bad it's unpleasant to be near them?
Free of limitations in when I can depart, or how much longer the ride takes than driving?
Free of the inability to easily stop to grab a coffee or use the bathroom?
So they're promising a cap on their maximum quality of service, but not on their minimum quality of service?
Oh it's not so bad. Was once on a flight in Guatemala with one backward facing row.... staring at a mother breastfeeding her baby in turbulence all the way to Costa Rica.
I'll never forget that flight.
Yeah, flying's really gotten worse over the years. Back then, kids got free milkshakes!
I have a hard time siding with anyone using software patents offensively. Fuck these guys and their patents. And if Apple asserts software patents in a non-defensive manner, fuck them, too.
You may want to go a little more up stream. How about, "Fuck the corrupt U.S. Congresses and Presidents. Fuck the psychopath lawyers and business people who want to infringe upon our freedom so they can make more money. Fuck the SCOTUS for not recognizing software as math. (And frown at Donald Knuth who also thinks software should be patentable, but is otherwise a swell guy.)"
I managed to do it, but it took almost a year of looking, even in a job market supposedly favorable to programmers.
My strategy was to basically scour the job boards, looking for remote jobs, and apply when it looked like a good fit. Some boards I found helpful for remote, non-contract work:
Job sites which don't have a specific category for "remote" tended to produce a lot of noise, because searching on "remote" would get hits for things like "remote work not allowed".
Two other things which seemed very helpful in landing a job:
