LAST EDITED ON 08-23-12 AT 10:28 AM (EST)Cheating:
1. What would you do if you found out your partner/spouse had cheated on you? Leave him.
2. Does it matter if it were a long-term deal or just a one-night fling? No.
3. Does your opinion change if alcohol/drunkeness was a contributing factor? No.
4. What if it weren't the first time? O - U - T - he's out!
5. Any other thoughts/questions/comments? I don't know if it is my age or what, but suddenly it seems as if half the peeps I know are splitting up! Seriously, I know of 5 couples who have recently split and, in all cases, cheating was involved! Also, in all cases, the wife was blind-sided. Part of the problem I think, stems from the bad economy. The husband was involved with the construction or some other related industry that went south and either lost his employment or his employment slowed down tremendously. He's left at home with terrible stress over not being able to support the family and nothing to do but get into trouble. In more than one case, the wife goes back to work and supports the family, and the husband goes on line looking to entertain himself. Next thing you know he's hooking up with some chic he meets online. In one case, the husband has been out of work for nearly 6 years. Three years ago, he gives his wife crab lice and she didn't kick him out then. This year, he comes home yellow with Hepatitus B. Seriously, I advised my friend to kick him to the curb as next time he's sure to bring home HIV!
Anyway, what has happened to fidelity in marriage? Are men meant to be monogamous? And I don't mean to target men, because we all know some ladies with insatiable appetites as well. Is the divorce rate really 50/50?
