Cheater, Cheater, compulsive eater.
Ok, well I’m not going to write about compulsive eaters but I am going to have a little rant about cheaters.
Tiger Woods, Vernon Kay, Ashley Cole, Little Mark Owen… the list is endless.
Now, I don’t want to tarnish every man with the same brush but come on boys. What happens? You wake up one day lying next to Cheryl Cole or Tess Daly and you think… God, you repulse me. You have a great body, a beautiful face, you look after my children & support me but I am going to ruin it all by cheating on you with the nanny / page 3 blonde / any girl that shows me affection, and then, if that is not clever enough, I am going to leave a string of texts / illicit photo’s behind so you can find out?
Is that how it happens?
I am not naive enough to think that beauty is everything and I am sure that you don’t get as much attention as you used to and maybe even the spark that – 3 years ago was very prominent and very exciting has dulled but what I can’t understand is why you risk everything for, well… nothing. A stroke of the ego, a compliment and you’re gone. Flash forward 3 months and it’s tears, remorse and public displays of guilt-ridden apologising. The best outcome, your wife stays, but never trusts you again. The worst outcome is you lose, literally everything.
So, can someone maybe explain something I’m missing? Or, girls, are we just better at hiding our affairs? Do we cheat like men but are more clever? Or do we rationalise things in our head so the pros of cheating are too weak compared to the cons? I need answers.

Human nature means that thrill-seeking adrenalin rushes, can be more powerful than rational logic…am not sure it’s limited to male behaviour only, just better evidenced more recently…? A
nd to some extent I assign at least partial blame the knicker-throwing girls who are jaw-droppingly predatory in chasing married, rich/famous men.

One of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs quotes sums it up perfectly
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
