“Recipe for Happiness?” If you were happy, you wouldn’t be looking for something on the side.
A marriage is much like other achievements in life. You get out of it what you put into it. Self-esteem comes from doing the hard work and succeeding, not taking the easy way out as soon as you hit a bump in the road. The grass is always greener on the other side, until you get to the other side.
“Playfair?” Terrible name. How about PlayUnfair?
These articles can always find cheaters who are at the beginning of a hormone-fueled romance. It would be interesting to do a long-term study and see how they ended up. My prediction is that within two years, most will have fizzled at best, and that the majority would been like bombs exploding in their faces, making a shambles of the lives of both adults and their families.
I also would bet that these cheaters score high on sociopathy, i.e., they have no conscience or empathy. They lead empty lives pursuing pleasure but are never satisfied and they don’t care who they hurt in the process.
