Friends don't let married friends cheat!
The research on poachers found that male poachers rank particularly high for machiavellianism.
This raises the question: what counts as cheating? The feeling of betrayal is subjective
It’s hard to believe that anyone could have sex on the brain that much during a pandemic. As it stands, I have almost no sex drive during this situation. I’ve just got too much on my mind. I’m stressed. But, then again, sex is something many people use to deal with stress. And also, the […]
They might talk to you with pity in their voices. They might start trying to pump you up, help you find your inner lion, and remind you that you are fierce.

My infidelity radar can be a little off. I think I spot it when it isn’t there. If a friend’s husband goes on a lot of business trips, I start to wonder. If a married neighbor works from home and has occasional visitors when his spouse is away, my little cheating antenna goes up.
Unfortunately, men, sometimes when a woman cheats, it was the last straw for her. In other words, she was about to break up with you anyways. Not all female cheaters want their relationships to work out. Not all of them want you to suggest couples counseling.
