An unofficial survey on extramarital affairs
Everytime some famous sleezeball cheats on his wife, it allows women to find ways to chip away at a truly loving husband’s diamond-encrusted faithfulness.
I’m soooooo sick of it.
When I got married this past August, I willingly passed on a buffet-style sex life (OK, we could argue about how robust said buffet was, but really what would it accomplish?) knowing that I had found the one person I wanted to dedicate myself to.
So when news broke that the infallible Tiger Woods cheated on his wife, it reminded me why feminism exists (I know guys, women cheat too), and again piqued my interest in an extraordinary question people ask when this sort of news does break:
Would you leave your spouse if he/she cheated on you?
The answers I got to that question were staggering. Please read on…
Out of 24 women I posed that question to last Wednesday, only two said, without hesitation, “Yes.” Of the other 22 women, 21 said “It depends” or “I don’t know” while one shockingly said, “No, I don’t care” (maybe they have an arrangement for each to get some side action, who knows).
Out of seven men polled (told you it was unscientific), all seven said without hesitation, “In a heartbeat.”
I have no insight or interest for that matter in discussing WHY the results came out the way they did, but I am fascinated with how over 90 percent of women can be so uncertain of themselves. One of those polled even said, “Well, if it was only a one time thing…”
So let me get this straight, if you were to find out your husband was having an extramarital affair and he said, “It only happened once… trust me,” you would trust him?
If trust is the key to marriage, and trust is irreparably damaged by a cheating spouse, how can a marriage continue? If cheating doesn’t irreparably damage your marriage, how strong was it to begin with?
Most men have sex-crazed minds. But the majority of those men can control those thoughts and loyally make love to one woman for the rest of their life. I hope the Tigers of the world don’t ruin our reputation completely. And I hope the “it depends” women of the world realize you need to find one in the majority.
