American women have a reputation for being the biggest whores on the planet for a reason folks. Flame away!
Sound familiar?
Add to this the growing infidelity of wives, and marriage becomes increasingly extinct.
It's interesting that this Dawson, a "relationship coach," has nothing to say about right or wrong, only "how you feel about yourself." Even in talking about children, he doesn't emphasize how they feel about their parents betraying the family, only how their "reaction" might make the cheating spouse feel.
Psycho-blather.
Wow, great article. I'd really begun to suspect that something was going on between my wife and her cousin who moved in with us from Russia. He didn't look much like her and I'd never known that she had family in Russia, but you know, you've just gotta trust sometimes.
I feel much better now.

Intersting.....if the man cheats, it's his fault. If the woman cheats, it's STILL his fault.
The fact of the matter is, when two people are intimitely involved in one another's lives, both the urge to cheat and the ability to do so without immediately keying off the partner is hugely diminished.
I have been married twice, and probably will never do so again. I have learned, however, that in each there was a point where I began to "take it for granted."
No one person can try hard enough for both, but at the same time as long as both try and know the other one is trying as well...It is possible to avoid becoming a piece of this sad statistic.
In order to cheat and adulterize, it has always taken two creeps.
I don't think there has been any change in the number of men or women doing this, just that maybe for the first time they realize women are involved as cheaters as well.
SURPRISE..... not!
I want to know, why are all stories about women cheating made to feel 'not-so-bad' because the women have 'reasons' to cheat?
Like they have some excuse, because they weren't lavished with enough attention or money or whatever.
When a guy does it, he's just a dirty sex-crazed maniac. But for the women, there's these deep psychological needs.
Double standard, bigtime.
Because it is the only way to win at poker
(what? I thought you meant cheat at cards!)
I listen, but all I hear is bitchin' about how I don't listen...then white noise.
"No. 1, if your wife says, 'You don't listen to me.' Oh boy, that's a big signal. Women, No. 1, need is to feel listened to and validated," Dawson said.
Translated: Man's fault. Too verbal.
A wife starved for attention at home can find herself in the arms of another man. Dawson said when husbands don't make wives feel good about themselves, watch out for the man who does.
Translated: Man's fault. Insensitive.
"For a man, the most important thing he can do for his wife is to pay attention to her feelings, and listen to her. It doesn't mean he has to agree with everything she says. He just has to prove to her that he heard what she said," Dawson said.
Translated: Man's fault. Not verbal enough.
Mike Lewis agrees. In his experience, he found that sometimes a cheating spouse may even let you know what's about to happen.
Translated: Man's fault. Insensitive.
"Sometimes they do communicate before they cheat. Sometimes they say, 'I'm not getting this. I'm not getting that.' And it falls on deaf ears," Lewis said.
Translated: Man's fault. Insensitive.
Are these people OTR?
Same reason(s) men do.
And the 67% of the married men who were lying.
This is the end result of listening to the feminists--namely, that women have a natural-born right to behave even worse than men. And if women start out with the preconception that all men are rats, behaving even worse takes some doing.
Too bad. For most people, the only real satisfaction and happiness in life comes from marriage, family, and children. It's getting much harder to find a husband or wife who will stick with you than it used to be. This is not to say that marriage is all peaches and cream, because it certainly isn't. But the selfish or lonely alternatives are even worse.
So . . where does the swinging lifestyle fit into this?
No man can give a woman all she "needs" if she creates a mental list of "needs" a mile long.
An American woman that self-absorbed will HAVE TO HAVE MORE MEN to try and fill her wish list.
Maybe if we were more realistic in our country about what work marriage really is, we'd have people of both sexes willing to accept MARRIAGE IS NOT A FAIRY TALE.
