Hello, is your "caps" key stuck? You might want to try pressing it once or til the green light goes out! How do you know more married women are having affairs, maybe it´s just publicised more? The penalty for having an affair 40 years ago was total ostracization, you were deemed a social outcast if discovered, now it´s perceived as being no big deal. And if you divorce you get 50% of what was his. So if you don´t love the man, it seems you have nothing to lose. (I am not saying this is my personal feeling, just what is popular now). I guess values are changing in this modern world, be it for better or for worse.

Ha ha - at least you elicited a response by "cyber shouting"... personally I feel that if a woman has an affair something is missing in her relationship or marriage or she is after some kind of thrill. My point was that it´s easier to get away with it nowadays, although if you get found out and lose your partner obviously the pain runs as deep. How are the children victims? They might be 20 years old and living overseas. If the mother is THAT unhappy in her relationship surely it´s better to meet someone and be happy with him than have a miserable relationship with their father? I know I am generalising and that every scenario is different. But if the woman is genuinely unhappy with her partner I think she has a right to seek love elsewhere (and should terminate things with her partner so he can seek someone more suited to him).

Marriage is a long haul, if you’re in for the short journey you better not fasten your seat-belt. Over many years I’m sure problems will arise, it’s only natural. It’s how those problems are dealt that relates to how securely you fastened your seat-belt. If there is something missing, people; woman or man, may look outside the relationship for the cure. Woman now days have more power than ever, they can be independent financially without needing support of a man, they’re not treated as ‘whor es’ for leaving a relationship like in years gone by and more freedom on both sides. I personally feel working within the relationship to repair the holes is better than jumping ship, the ship you jump to will have the same equal amount of holes you have to patch up.

I've not personally done this but if a man is treating his spouse poorly or ignoring her needs and desires it is very easy when a woman is vulnerable to fall into another mans' arms if approached. I've seen it over and over in people I know ant any age. As a women I too understand how it feels to be treated nicely and not treated like a piece of funiture in the home.

Because they can't find happiness within themselves. They are trying to fulfill a void in their life. In the bible it says that one reason for divorce is fornication in a relationship.

I agree there.

There are lot of factors which keep people together. I think as woman are becoming more and more independent they also have realized their potential. As a human being why should one suffer more than other? Do you think woman have right to suffer more than man. I think "No"...And so if woman is not comfortable finally with the guy she is with..she has right to move out..It has nothing to do with job itself. It is about the global understanding among the 2 people.

Yes thats true but ask a woman she would still like to be with her partner given that the partner is more understanding. Most of the time we forogt that we need to lower our ego for the other person. It is very imp to be sure of the other person..which is love..if you are sure about that other factors will boil down and this has to be understood by both. Relationship which works see this effect automatically

Women give high value to their relationships much more their family. However, alot of men are just too selfish and are only concerned of themselves. They don't consider that in a relationship, it has to be a two-way process. Some women fall for extramarital affairs because they want to belong. They want to feel important. When men marries a woman, usually the romance ends there. They forget that it's a continuous process, that they shouldn't stop pleasing their wife. Alot of men also are womanizers. Women today are becoming more independent and career oriented. When they find out that their husband has extramarital affair, they think it's not wise to be a martyr to a philandering husband. So, they find happiness and contentment somewhere else.

Well, the media is not helping. You see it on movies all the time...and the other thing that women see on movies is "perfect men" that really don't exist. Many women are more insecure about love than men are. Women look beyond what the man does for them. They need to be assured, and reassured that their man is going to stick by them forever. All the media out there is adding to the idea in the woman's head that there must be a perfect man out there...one that can sweep me off my feet and constantly tell me that he loves me. So, woman decides...I deserve to be happy, and since my husband isn't making me completely happy, then I am going to find that perfect man to make me happy. Then, once the woman meets that man, the feeling they get in their heart is one of euphoria, even if they have just met that "perfect man", and don't know anything about them. Woman is addicted to that "euphoric" love feeling...otherwise known as the butterfly feeling. Now that the woman who has cheated has found that feeling, they want to continue with it...and they may very well keep cheating. Now, the woman's marriage is in extreme danger, because she, unknowingly, has set unrealistic standards that her marriage has to compete with. Get it? Now, the woman has screwed up the marriage, and is fooling herself into a perfect life that has now only been made worse. But the TV and movies say it is okay... Sorry, Long explaination, but that is what I've learned, and I tried to explain it in the shortest way possible.
