You are the happiest person because you have an amazing girlfriend, whom you believe is always loyal to you and will never do anything to hurt you with another lover.
One day, you decide to come home from work early to surprise your girlfriend.
You sneak in the front door making no sound whatsoever, and as you ease the door back to shut it, you hear a noise coming from your bedroom.
You freeze.
You take off your work shoes and slowly creep towards the gushing noises from the bedroom, only to see a bulky man having intense sexual intercourse with your girlfriend.
You hear things she has never screamed rushing out of her mouth, and seems to love every single inch of it.
You have a milkshake of feeling running through you veins.
What do you do?
* Do you let her enjoy her ride until she is done? Leave the house, come back at the normal working time and pretend you know nothing. ( If you are thinking from her perspective it would be Hedonism, but from your point of view it would be virtue ethics.)
* Do you leave and smash your car against the bridge? Leave the house furiously, take a fast ride and release your anger by getting hurt. (Kantianism, you feel like its your fault, and taking it upon yourself, you feel like its your duty to end it all.)
* Do you walk in and interrupt, hoping that the bulky naked guy doesn't beat you up? Walk in the sexual act with a lot of noise so they notice you and cause a disaster. ( In this case you would use consequentialism)
* Do you start wondering whether she has other lovers? Is she the neighborhood hoe? (Intuition)
These are likely possibilities of what a normal human being would think of doing (Not speaking for anyone) I can say, that this is a very challenging moral dilemma because, you love your girlfriend so much that you cant let her go, but what you saw, twisted your feelings, therefore, what would you do?
