CHEATER CHEATER PUMPKIN EATER

This just in....


30-60% of all married individuals engage in some form of infidelity at some point during their marriage. 


HOLY MOELY!!  


Now, don't get paranoid, this is obviously a somewhat vague statement for an almost immeasurable statistic, but, still, it is a published figure, not to be taken lightly. 

Learning this is extremely sad and sickening, but at the same time, not entirely shocking. Let's be real. We are creatures of desire.  We live in a day and age where we always want something new and exciting and a generous portion of us will stop at nothing until we get it, despite the consequences.  We are animals.  In fact, we are 98% genetically related to the Bonobo chimpanzees, who swing from partner to partner like a certain kind of Tiger (ahem).  But, before you use that as an excuse to stray, remember that humans evolved from chimpanzees.  We don't wipe our asses with our hands so how can we excuse ourselves of decentcy with the "humans are just animals" argument?  We can't.  So stop trying.

I have debated this topic many times in the past few years.  You see, I too, have been a victim and a perpetrator of infidelity.  I always come up with the same conclusion... sex = happiness = fidelity.


I can guess what you are thinking: "What about love, caring, compassion, friendship and all that other hearts and farts BS?"  All good relationship qualities, but a relationship without sex is ultimatley marked for disaster.  Don't believe me?  Research it.
