Have You Cheated On Your Husband? Would You Admit To It?

Picture this: The perfect couple with the perfect kids. They show affection and love in public. They can’t seem to get their hands off each other. They never fight! They make fun of other people and their problems. They vacation and have a great time! They are the PERFECT couple! Until that is, they split up because one is cheating on the other.
Go figure!
Some people openly admit to having cheated or living with someone who has cheated on them. Most people would rather cut off a limb than admit, even after being caught red-handed.
But who is most likely to cheat? The man or the woman? And why?
According to a recent study reported by the New York Times, “infidelity appears to be on the rise, particularly among older men and young couples. Notably, women appear to be closing the adultery gap: younger women appear to be cheating on their spouses nearly as often as men.”
I personally find marriage studies quite biased. First of all, women are less likely to admit they are cheating on their spouse. Second of all, they are less likely to get caught.
In today’s society, most men are increasingly more obsessed with internet porn, sleeping with other women or have completely checked out of their long-term relationships.
On the other hand, women are increasingly working out of the house, have lives of their own and more opportunities to meet other men. Even women who stay home have more opportunities to connect with other people through internet dating sites, instant chat and cell phones.
I think this may actually reduce the divorce rate, in some instances. Let’s think about this for a minute… Your husband leaves you and the kids to go on business trips every other week. You spend your days taking care of your kids, going to work and just trying to cope with being a single parent for half the month. Most nights you spend watching the latest trashy reality show or reading the latest mommy book.
How long do you think you can take this before you turn to internet dating and get some human attention from the opposite sex? Even if it’s virtual at first?
How long before it turns into instant messaging and emails. Then phone calls… and then face to face.
Would you take it to the next step? Would you lie to your husband?
Do you think other women would and should? Would that keep their marriage together or break them apart?
