I would like to run a mini poll of divorced couples ?
I am trying to determine what percentage of males and females were to blame for the breakdown of marriages on account Of Infidelity.Please give your personal experience if possilble.
Females… most of the times its females. I mean my divorce was all because of a female… just i wasnt married to her
Feminists: Why do most of you cite Emma Bovary’s restrictive society as justification for her infidelity?
Why? That’s not a good enough reason.
The society of which I’m speaking is generally 19th century society–where women were subjugated to the house if married, or (if lucky), the convent.
These feminists say that Emma Bovary wasn’t acting on immature impulses and that Madame Bovary is simply a reflection of how human she really is.
You’re right, and that was painful to say.
In my opinion, there is no such thing as a good reason for infidelity.
I have not yet read Madame Bovary, so I am unsure what restriction you speak of, but there is still no good reason for infidelity.
But I’m also not a Feminist. I’m an Humanist. I believe in human rights, equal rights, fair treatment of BOTH sexes.
Is it marriage? Or is it women?
Half of marriages end in divorce, but 2 out of every 3 divorces are initiated by women. Women are the ones who are stereotypically pushing for marriage to happen within a relationship.
Infidelity by husbands may have been a valid excuse years ago, but studies have shown women are nearly as unfaithful. Why are women so unsatisfied with marriage?
Roz CC – what is that’s all over the map. 50% of marriages end in divorce. OF divorces women initiate 67% of them. That is straightforward. But the stats aren’t fully relevant. The question at hand is why are women unsatisfied.
Steve – again the stat really isn’t the most relevant. We can all agree that a high rate of marriages do end in divorce.
Expectations. They grow up watching movies about prince charming and men having epiphanies and saying all the right things at the right times. Then then find of that men are just regular people and they feel horribly let down. God forbid they take a look at themselves and find out just how regular and screwed up they are too. There would be a lot less divorce if we didn’t expect men to live up to our expectations instead of thier own.

Did Medea kill Jason for infidelity? Or only their children?
We know Jason and his Argonauts for their brave act in that “Golden Fleece” adventure. The sorcerer princess Medea supported and later married Jason but also killed their children. It seems her act was revenge against his infidelity. Does it mean he was survived and let the children to die? Or whether he too murdered by Medea?
No, Jason lived. It would have been all too easy if he’d died–then he wouldn’t have to deal with the guilt and remorse after his wife and children died. Medea killed them off (among others) and went away to Athens in Helios’s chariot (he was her grandfather, and she had powerful friends in Athens.)
I think Medea might have been a parable to caution against the use of magic (well, illegal/unethical means, in a broader sense) for personal gain. You can’t have a powerful witch kill for you and bear your children and then throw her over when you meet some rich chippy who’ll let you live on her Greek island. Either you live with your witch lover or you don’t get to use her powers for yourself. Or maybe it was just to caution against taking advantage of a powerful woman by exploiting the fact that she loves you. Maybe that’s a little closer to the truth. I think the spells and potions just make it a better story. Killing the kids just shows Jason what he could have had with her–when her love turned sour, she’d rather that the kids die than live with their traitorous father. Technically, she probably could have taken them with her, what with the deity relatives and all…but that’s not how the story goes. Oh, well.
Surviving Infidelity with Dr. Frank Gunzburg
My wife and my self are seperated due to infidelity on her part.?
My wife and my self are seperated due to infidelity on her part. Our three sons live with me. my wife asks me for finacial help because she is getting behind with her bills. In my heart I want to help but my mind tells me no. Am I wrong for not helping her?
No you’re not wrong in anyway. Your wife is an adult, she did what she did knowing it was wrong and now she’s in a bind, let her get herself out. If anything you’d be saying it was okay for her to do what she did by paying her bills for her. Besides that, there’s four of you, you and your three sons who she didn’t even think about when she did what she did. You have three other mouths to feed, obviously she was only concerned about herself and her happiness when she did what she did. And here’s the thing, obviously you weren’t good enough for her, for what ever reason it may have been that pushed her to cheat, but now all of a sudden she’s wanting your help. In short, you’re good enough to pay her bills, but not good enough to be her husband. Tell her to ask “her man” to pay her bills, your family’s more important, which is a sad thing that it wasn’t as important to her as it was to you.
