I think cheating is pretty much gender neutral. Women are probably cheating more now than before due to increased opportunities and temptation in the workplace than they would have had at home saddled with children.

I don't buy that. I used to be a letter carrier who did "pick up" routes for other LC's who called in sick etc. There were plenty of women hustling to the door in lingerie only to be surprised the Mr. So&So was not the one at their door. Several times I had to try to find male LC's who were m.i.a. from their vehicles. They were nowhere to be found, inside of some house somewhere. I've searched over an hour for an LC to re-appear from a 15 minute walking route. I could tell you other stories as well.

Suffice to say, the workplace is not the only place there are "opportunities".

I was a residential telephone installer in the late 70's. Not long after the song (telephone man) was out. There were a lot of lonely women who didn't work. You had to be artistic at turning them down or they would report that you came on to them. I don't think it's work related. I think some peolpe are born cheaters while other must learn.

Lorianne, for your letter carriers, the route IS the workplace. Which turns into an example of the original point.

Damn....I'm glad my mailbox is 100 yards down a very steep hill at the foot of my drive.

I adore my wife. I would be seriously crushed. I behave myself for that reason...not because she would kill me which she would but because it's the right thing to do.


When I was young and in relationships....'twas not something that came natural I must confess.

I think having lots of children and a very shared life(and goals) and keeping the passion flame alive helps immensely. Why risk destroying something you have both worked so hard at just for an sex? For me as a guy....all this stuff has gotten a bit easier after 40. Some guys like my dad seemed to always just naturally take to fidelity....others cannot seem to grasp it. It's complicated.

Heh. My wife used to deliver pizza. Had a fair number of woman upset that she wasn't a guy.
