How To Identify A Shift Of Romantical Interests

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Ladies, stop fixing yourselves sugar milk in the A.M., and start drinking the good stuff. (Coffee.) In other words, turn off the cruise control and wake it up.

Once the crusties are cleared from left eye, then  right, there will be just enough awareness to spot the number of symptoms  that accompany  infidelity. That’s right, infidelity, that thing. No worries, it happens to the best of us.

Intuition: Do not turn off the sixth sense, a trail of smoke equals fire. When eye contact isn’t met, when “I love you baby,” isn’t said anymore, when tone of voice does not match an emotion that one is claiming to have, there may be a problem.

Erratic Phone/Text/E-mail Behavior: When in a relationship one learns anothers’scommunication habits. If there are any lasting sudden changes to communication such as: not taking your calls when he usually does, not responding to texts, taking his phone with him to the restroom when showering (I’ve done it.), cutting off conversations when you enter the room, then there may be a problem.

Sex: When the sex is less, that means the sex is less. When the sex is no more, there are two common possibilities: he’s sleeping with someone else and can’t do it with you due to guilt, or “he’s just not that into you.” Yeah, these are definite problems.

Gifts: We all know that cards and gifts come in bulk when love is in the new. When cards and gifts come in bulk after a relationship has found it’s niche, you may have a great man on your hands. If cards and gifts come in bulk because a husband or boyfriend is MIA, ah guilty much? There may be a problem.

This stuff is never enjoyable. But it’s best to deal with it, so that life can return to happiness, with or without the weaker link.

A SOLUTION?

You can do much to help a husband who has Don Juan Syndrome by building up his ego, so that he has greater confidence. Find things you can sincerely admire in his business or trade skill, in his virtues as a husband, in his personality, in his zest as a lover. Tell him about them frequently. If you can diminish his inferiority feelings, he will feel less need to fight against them by seeking reassurance in a series of sexual affairs. However, if your husband does not respond to your remedies, don’t blame yourself. If your husband recognizes  his own failings, and is anxious to get rid of them, psychiatric treatment will help.

What about the husband who is guilty of a serious, prolonged affair with another woman—first-degree infidelity? Here you have a major problem on your hands, because this husband’s deepest emotions are involved. “In my opinion,” declares Judge I. Montefiore of N.Y.C. Domestic Relations Court, “the other woman is almost invariably the symptom of an already ailing marriage.”

The fault may be, and probably is, on *both sides* (Remember this if you are ever the offender.). But the remedy is *usually* up to the wife,  because she has the most to *gain* as a rule, from preserving her marriage. (Thank you, God, for Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and the 60′s.)

“When a wife finds that there is another  woman in her husband’s life, Dr. Popenoe advises, “her first action should be, not to treat the symptom, but to find the cause—to find out what this other woman means to her husband; and then remove the cause. It’s the easiest way, often the only way.”

The misunderstood husband who pours out his woes to another woman, and accepts her sympathy as love, is a classic figure. Any man who goes to the trouble of taking a mistress, rather than *simply* being promiscuous, obviously  is emotionally dissatisfied with his marriage. His wife may know why.  If she does, she can best eliminate the other women by eliminating from her marriage the things that drove her husband to become unfaithful.

Installment VI of Cheating Hubby’s from True Story magazine, circa 1920.

I know one husband who walked out on a wild stag party of his friends, thrown by an all-male club. He was the only man among twenty present who refused to have intercourse with ladies of the evening who were brought to the party for that purpose.

“I value my marriage too much,” he told me, “to cheapen it by a few seconds of pointless pleasure. I wouldn’t want it on my conscience. It wouldn’t have been worth the psychological damage it would have done to me. I think there were other husbands who felt as I did, but they were afraid of being ridiculed by the ‘boys’ if they refused.”

Since roughly one out of three husbands doesn’t have such a high code of ethics, let’s analyze the principal reasons for infidelity, and what can be done about them.

The husband who is guilty of third-degree—unfaithful only once, or at rare intervals—is often a *victim* of circumstances. It isn’t easy for a husband who’s alone to keep his sexual urges in check. His fall from grace is usually due less to his desire for other women than for sexual relief.

(Wow. This is hard to swallow. I always thought it was easier for men to keep the urges in check when alone. The hard part came when the husband found a willing partner—either by chance, or by design.)

If he drinks more than he intended, his moral sense may become blurred. (I suppose only men were/are subject to this very convenient excuse?) He can become intoxicated even faster by a heady perfume and the seductive arts of a prostitute. It takes a great deal of willpower to resist the open invitation of adventurous bachelor girls, widows, or divorcees out for excitement. (With such a laissez-faire attitude on cheating, it’s a wonder any couples during this era ever stayed faithful to one another!) From a moral point of view, it is certainly regrettable that any husband would allow himself to be seduced.

The writer actually continues to say that “if a husband has such a lapse, it would be charitable to consider that he was more sinned against than sinning. Particularly if he is properly and sincerely repentant.
