To start with it's worth mentioning the fact that Laura isn't in a relationship, so she is entitled to do what she likes. In normal circumstances it would not be her responsibility to not cheat on her partner, but that of the person she's playing around with.

That said, Marco and his girlfriend have both said he has a 'hall pass' to effectively do what he wants while he's on Big Brother. I realise he said it was an open relationship too, but that doesn't dissolve the hall pass that his girlfriend has said still exists. In which case, per the terms of it, he is also entitled to do what he wants and it is the business of no one else to criticise him for it. You can dislike him all you want (and I obviously understand the reasons), but it is his and his girlfriend's relationship and not ours. If she said he was permitted to do this, then that is that. I think some people are allowing their distaste, misunderstanding and personal opposition to having a hall pass (or an open relationship in general) for themselves or their own (hypothetical) partner to cloud their judgement. It doesn't matter whether you couldn't operate your relationship in the same manner (I couldn't either, btw), it still exists and it is up to Marco and his fiancé to determine whether that's acceptable or not and not a bunch of Big Brother fans.

Open your minds. Criticise his behaviour all you like, but slating him because he has a fiancé when said fiancé has said the hall pass does exist is just stupid. Those are the terms of his relationship and it's about time people started to understand them.

It just pisses me off that he's taking all the blame, to be honest.
