You might be right, but I maintain that women who are shrews, spendthrifts, substance abusers or have let themselves become disheveled physically or in the bedroom, often drive their husbands astray.
No one, male or female, can totally hold back the ravages of aging, but people who are overweight, have poor dental or personal hygiene, or become detached or confrontational due to substance abuse or mental illness are giving their spouses every excuse to look elsewhere for what their marriage is lacking.
I would say that the spouse becoming overweight and resistant to changing that, may well be the biggest cause of cheating and I also know that people hate hearing that. But from what I have seen so far, that is the case.
Who knew Joe could be reasonable? ;o)
Scenario: After 23 years of marriage, wife is told husband has an illegitimate daughter. Wife runs to best friend for advice, who says leave the POS, she takes him back never tells their own 3 kids about it.
Fast forward: After 35 years of marriage, wife catches husband cheating with a differnt woman, witnesses him breaking it off, and catches him cheating again with yet another woman. Wife runs to SAME best friend to stay a week with best friend and BF’s husband before - wait for it - she goes back to El Louso AGAIN.
What say you, FReepers???

... need a good spanking from their husband and put in their proper place. Thanks for reminding me of a favorite Shakespear play.
