Over the past few months, I’ve done a series entitled Cheating Hubby’s, circa 1920. Little did I know how relevant these postings would be. Tiger Woods and Jesse James, to name the worst.

Every online news source provides some web link to an interview with a mistress, or new insight into the affair. How can these women not know their husbands are making cuckolds of them left, right, and center? I ask myself. Reading up on the subject, I obtained several books outlining how to spot a cheater, why a man cheats, and how to gather evidence of the indiscretion.

These books and articles are ambiguous at best. The supposed signs are basic human behaviors. Dropping one’s voice or taking a call in another room is what I would consider as being polite as to not disturb one’s partner with the heinous conversation he’s about to have with his mother. Picking fights, depending on how aggressive someone is, seems pretty typical of tired people struggling to make ends meet in a pay-cut heavy, surging unemployed economy. There’s also claims that if a man turns the infidelity accusation on you, it’s proof positive of an affair, however, if the roles were reversed, we’d all do the exact same thing.

How do you know if your spouse is cheating? Short of catching them in the act, finding an incriminating text (which you probably won’t because anyone committed to lying to you on a daily basis is going to delete any such evidence rather than keep it around as an electronic memento), or going through their personal bank account records—which you won’t get access to—there’s no magical way.

Just assume that they are cheating, and two-thirds of you will be correct. It also comes down to simple mathematics. However many females between the ages of 18 and 60 that your husband has interaction with increases the likelihood. The amount of power your spouse has at work, coupled with salary also raises the selfishness. Lying about small things means they lie about big things. Even if they’re not cheating, you can bet good money that they make comments to their friends about other women’s attributes and their desires to educate themselves further on such anatomy, disparage you to look cool, and call you a b#*@! behind your back.

As to why they cheat, the frisky wrote up a list 25 reasons why men cheat. It’s the best for listing reasons such as: He wants to find out what it’s like to pay for it.  He thought he could get away with it. And my personal fave, He let her talk him into it.
