Women exhibit a dichotomy on the notion of infidelity. Although they resent a competitor for resources, an affair initiated by the husband (or the possibility of one) serves as an excuse for the woman to seek out her own affair.
Additionally, women tend to make a very big leap very early when it comes to extramarital affairs, or at least the possibility of one.
The thought process is probably like this:
“If it’s possible he’s having an affair, then it’s DEFINITE he is. I’d better incur a huge mountain of expenses so that his resources will be focused on me.
It’s better to drive him into bankruptcy that to think I’d left anything on the table for her.”
Marriage is about revenge, not love. Women now have a convenient punching bag; one that is disposable to boot. That’s what our culture focuses on; I refuse to say that Men are perfect (no shortage of evidence against that claim) but the media (and this is something that I have not researched….only an estimate on my part) tend to elevate women to levels of absolute perfection while men are portrayed in the least favorable light.
This could be due to the demographics of shopping. Television and movie writers bend to the demands of advertisers who know that women usually do most of the shopping. Writing stories and characters in a manner that subtly flatters female viewers increases the possibility of a favorable response at the checkout aisle.
I am not attempting to call women sheep who answer Madison Avenue’s call; just the focus on immediate gratification, along with the disposable nature of marriage, and with a substantial contribution from the absolutely atrocious behavior of many (though not all) men, compel behavior in women that could best be described as a major impediment to a happy marriage.
Call my ideas crazy or brilliant or both (or neither!) but they are my ideas. Debunk them if it makes you feel good.
But this is only my theory; if I get the chance to research it I certainly will.
Men are usually better off alone….marriage is costly in terms of one’s wallet, bank account, retirement plan and soul.
