Myron's line of "a woman who *slept with everybody* at the post office but me"

Hi, sorry to bother you, but what would that mean? Would that mean that she literally slept with everyone at that the post office but her husband? Would it be a figurative term? Could you please explain it to me? Could someone who say that be angry if they slept with only five people? I don't want to say that having an affair shows a lack of morals or character, which it certainly can, but it does show a lack of judgement and integrity as well because it is a sin. I went to my therapist today and he said that the whole infidelity thing is just a fixation and not about obsessive compulsive disorder. How do I tell the doctor that I actually have it, but I was diagnosed as a bipolar? I find myself losing all train of thought and the OCD does attack the fact that I do tend to take things more literally than I already do. What does it mean for someone who "sleeps or cheats with everybody but me"?

By the way, I would like to change my train of thought. Common sense tells me that even a moral person is a sinner, but what separates a moral person from one who lacks character, but does the same thing? So I cannot say that just because one commits adultery or kills someone means that they are immoral. But killing people and adultery in themselves are immoral acts. To me, it depends on the situation and the people in it. If a person is promiscuous, would they be any less moral than one who has cheated with one other person? No, but promiscuity and adultery are sins. Maybe reading other opinions do not help nor is doing research helpful. So what else should I do? I hopefully would not cheat on anyone.
Would a person who has a series of affairs less moral than one who has had just one affair? The OCD says yes, especially if the person is a woman. But my view is that no! Regardless of the number of partners, it is the same act and it is immoral. But because of the OCD and because it is a woman, it is far more personal. Normally, if a woman cheats versus a man, does it make her less moral than the man? No, because they are both wrong. I tend to wrestle with questions that I cannot answer. Could it be that it is best to leave certain questions unanswered? I could be watching a clean film and I would have a thought. Weird. Has that happened to you?
