Fully 25 percent of wives and 44 percent of husbands cheat on their spouses--and that's just a mid-range estimate, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. :eek:
And here's the really scary part: Infidelity can happen to good people in good marriages. Psychologist Shirley P. Glass, author of "Not 'Just Friends': Protect Your Relationship from Infidelity and Heal the Trauma of Betrayal," primarily places the blame for all this cheating on three factors:
--Friendships at work
--Child-centered marriages
--Intimate Internet conversations
Glass says today's workplace infidelity is less likely to be between the boss and the secretary and more likely to be between colleagues who are drawn close in a shared project or deadline. Oddly, she says that the people who indulge in these affairs often have very happy marriages. Glass also blames what she calls "child-centered marriages," in which couples focus their energy on their kids' lives, while they neglect their own. (Hint: This is you if the only thing you have to talk about is the what the kids are doing.) She also points a guilty finger at the Internet where people believe that betrayal through e-mail and Instant Messenger isn't real infidelity.
So if you found out your lover was cheating on you, what would you do if you wanted to get revenge? HealthScoutNews reports that a new study by the State University of New York at Albany says it all depends on your gender. Women are most likely to attack their lovers. Men are most likely to attack their rivals.
Find out the leading cause of divorce in America.
It's not infidelity. The answer may surprise you.
