Why A Man Shouldn't Cheat. Reason No. 25

Fatal Attraction 

The other day I watched Fatal Attraction. This movie has always given me the chills. Glenn Close played the hell out of this part. She was beyond crazy, and I'm almost positive, she made a few men consider marriage counseling over cheating back in 1987. So, what is the movie about? Cheating Man + Crazy Woman = Boiling Bunny. Ahhh! Whatever. Rent it!

Anyway, while watching the movie, I got to thinking. Yes. We all know that when a man cheats on his wife or girlfriend, he's going to break her heart, ruin the trust in the relationship and possibly rip apart his family, but has anyone ever thought about what that man has done to the other woman?

Hear me out.

What if the other woman doesn't know he's married? What if she really, truly, and deeply falls in love with him? Wait! What if she doesn't know he's  married, falls in love with him and is crazier than a fruit bat?

One of the most memorable lines in the movie is when Close's character says "I will not be ignored!" That one line set everything off, for me. So, I wondered. Before a man cheats, shouldn't he consider what could happen if the other woman refuses to be ignored, lead on, used up and thrown aside like garbage? Shouldn't he consider checking her medicine cabinet for "happy" pills before he proceeds?

Weigh In

Cheating...

Are women just better at it?

We always hear about men's indiscretions. Always! We hear about them so much that we just expect and/or accept them doing it, but what about women?

Let's be honest, women cheat too. Maybe not as much as men, but women cheat too. I've had more than a few women tell me that they have had boyfriends on the side for much of their marriage or relationship. I've had women confess to me that they've had one man coming in the front door, and another leaving out the back. So why don't women get caught as much?

Now, I would never say it's because women are smarter. That's not it. There have been plenty of marriages and relationships that have ended because women have been caught in bed with another man. But in general, this is not the case. Are women just sneakier? Are women better at covering their tracks? Are some men just in denial about their relationships, or are men so busy cheating that they don't notice that their spouses are cheating too? What do you think?
