Illogical opinions aren't so bad, as emotional responses aren't invalid. They can be very hard to defend though.

I stand by what I said about contradictory opinions though.

Yes, had a bit of an emotional dilemma with the old boy as I am not the only female he mated with. But instead of feeling betrayed as I would have if my husband went and dipped it in some other girl, I rationalised it the same way you did, they don't really have the same monogamous mindset as some humans have and decided that I would just accept the situation/relationship for what it was.
It's kind of why I place relationships and sex into two slightly semi-overlapping categories. The relationship you share with your non-human companion is like none other. It's unbridled untainted love between two beings that share a life with one another, even if that life only last 1/5th to 1/7th of your own lifespan. When they are with us there's nothing more pure and more wonderful than that relationship you have with one another. Even if it's one without words, you two still manage to understand one another on a deeper level.

Sex though, I see that as more of a thing where it's valid as long as all parties involved consent to it. Sex is a little more of a transactional trade type of deal. I give you pleasure and in return I also get pleasure as well. It's a win-win situation for the both of us. But that doesn't stop one or more parties from trading with someone else outside of you.

Semi-overlapping in the sense that sex feels more special when it's with the one you have a relationship with. While my newfie girl had no problems making the sex trade (pleasure for pleasure) with someone other than me, I can almost guarantee you that when she has sex with me it likely feels better and definitely more familiar than when she chose to have sex with someone else. Just as, when I've had sex with canines outside of our pack, while mutual fun is mutual fun, it definitely does feel a little more special when you're doing so with someone you spend so much of your life, time, and have poured much of your heart towards. Both sex and relationship exists outside of one another and they are unique in their own right, when they overlap they do tend to enhance one another.

A Venn diagram.
Yep! At least that's how I see it.

Which, contrary to some of the dumpster fire regulars beliefs, people can have different opinions and get along ?
