Not exact matches
Doyle Melton, the hugely popular, Oprah - approved blogger at Momastery, had been open and
honest about a lot of her marriage except one huge aspect of it — her husband's
infidelity.
In any event, saying «everybody» cheats seems to be a stretch; while it's hard to get an exact number of people who are cheating because it's all self - reported (and you have to think that those who are lying to their spouse are probably not going to be totally
honest when it comes to a poll on
infidelity), some studies indicate it's
about 20 percent of married couples while others suggest it may be as high as 60 percent to 70 percent.
No one knows how many people are having affairs — many say the
infidelity rate hovers around 20 percent although, let's be
honest; people who are cheating aren't always truthful
about their
infidelity (especially, evidently, women).
But if we're really talking
about -
honest - to - goodness, down - and - dirty, I'm - committed - to - doing - what - it - takes - to - make - this - relationship - work commitment, then shouldn't a couple that takes commitment seriously be able to work through
infidelity — in whatever incarnation it comes to them — and keep their marriage intact?
The
infidelity may be as seemingly innocent as a wife lying to her husband
about the price of a pair of shoes, or it could be as disastrous as a husband concealing a $ 500,000 loss in the stock market, but its hallmark is a refusal to be
honest with your spouse
about money.
Violence, anger, drugs and alcohol, and
infidelity can all challenge a relationship and if they're a part of the picture, we need to get
honest about that.
Some things to consider should
infidelity occur are whether you both agree that emotional affairs are equal to sexual
infidelity, what steps you will take in being
honest with one another
about your sexual desires and emotional needs if they are not being met in the marriage, as well as how you will talk to your partner if you begin to feel attracted to someone else.
If the betrayed partner becomes suspicious or asks
about an
infidelity, then
honest revelation is wise.
The tool (the I - to - I Exercise) we teach in our book, Intimacy after
Infidelity, is how to talk
about our negative feelings and experiences in an open,
honest, non-destructive way.
