WHY MEN CHEAT
I always find it interesting to read articles explaining why men cheat. Yesterday on the Today Show, Dr. Laura Schlessinger made a statement that, “These days, women don’t spend a lot of time thinking how they can give their men what they need.” Many women were up in arms with what the good doctor had to say. I think or hope what Dr. Laura was saying is that we live in a busy, hectic world where women are burning the candle at both ends. We play every role; caretaker, lover, girlfriend, career woman, etc. As modern day women we place a lot of pressure on ourselves to be “perfect” in every role. Girls, it’s an impossible, frustrating goal. Instead, each day focus on a few tasks to accomplish. If you can’t make the 2pm meeting, walk your dog, pick up the dry cleaning, and call your boyfriend all before lunch….it’s ok. Pick and choose your tasks. You can’t give your all to someone if your mind is scattered in a hundred other places. When you’re with your boyfriend/husband be with him. Set aside some time to let him know you want him, love him, and need him in your life. Everyone needs tender loving care. Do I think that it is ever right to cheat? No. We all make mistakes. Loving someone means loving all of them and accepting their flaws. No one is perfect. My friend once told me, “Everyone deserves one get of jail free card.” I agree but once one mistake becomes two, you owe it to yourself to show him the exit. When someone cheats it indicates the relationship is over and your partner is trying to sabotage it. Another thought is the relationship needs serious attention. Remember relationships like flowers die without water. Your water is communication. Communication is the key to any healthy partnership. It may sound cliche but a cliche only means that many agree.
