| A group of 6 (4 dudes 2 chicks) of us from College still keep in touch and hang out with each other’s families and children. I am one of the chicks, were all mid 30s and all 4 of the guys cheat on their wives. They discuss it openly amongst us, and they’ve done it many times not just with one AP. It’s awful but it’s not my place to say anything, and their spouses are so “my husband is perfect” they would never believe it. It’s weird hanging out with them while feeling sorry for them that they actually have no idea the person they married. |

Thank you for answering. This sort of reinforces my view that women need to be financially independent and not give up their career for a husband. I believe that investment banking does have high levels of cheating. I was thinking about finance from large company perspective and I think sales would be worse in terms of cheating in a company like mine. |

So what if you found out that your husband has been cheating for a while and all of his friends knew? Would you have wanted someone to tell you? |

Of COURSE?!!!! Who wants to find out in year 3 or 4 when somebody could have told them at month 2-3 before things were too far gone. Also—these losers are having unprotected sex and then going back and screwing their spouses. That is CRIMINAL. |

It's probably about half of men, but that doesn't really tell you anything. It's like asking what % of the people in your circle make over 25k a year. In a nice neighborhood, almost all of them, in a poor one, a lot less.
I have a group of professional friends, in the law, contracting and finance areas, the tall, handsome, outgoing ones who travel for work. They all cheat. Maybe not all the time but they all have and would. I have another group of friends from a small business I own. Quiet, introverted types. While I am sure some cheat, no one discusses it, no one is chatting up random women at happy hours, if they ever even go to one. Men are, and have always been, about as faithful as their options. |

This 49-year old red head food Blogger certainly could BLOW those inflatables. Just watch her house mid day and you will see the AM dudes arriving for their nooners. No shame just had them come right up the front steps. She’s a sick b@tch with teenage sons to be doing it in the house. I can’t believe a neighbor hasn’t said anything yet. |

EXACTLY! I'm always amazed when I see posts like this. I've had an AP for 4 years. DH has also cheated on me. None of our friends know, and they'd be shocked. |

So is everyone googling Bethesda food blogger now? What is the point? I still don’t have any insight into who is having affairs beyond a mythical food blogger and some investment banker types!! |

Do you get that PP was trying to make the point that YOU SHOULD TELL THESE WOMEN? Also, you should find new friends. You clearly attracted the low quality ones in college. |

I work in finance as well and this is spot-on. The guys always have a "marketing assistant" who they get an exception to come attend a conference with them. |

I worked in an industry with lots of travel, and most of the many affairs were pretty widely known. I had the same question. I talked to one if the guys about it, and he said that his wife chose to look the other way. Being Mrs. Big Exec was her identity — so she put up with it. |

It’s not a successful blog. She’s a loser and could only keep it going about 1.5 years. Too f@cking lazy. The type that does not work, has grown/teen kids and her biggest complaint is she doesn’t have time to go to the grocery store. Very self-aggrandizing barf worthy intro, long and babbling on blog. Other than people that actually know her I don’t think people read it. Part of the reason she had the men drive to her house to screw her—too lazy to drive to meet them because then she wouldn’t have time for grocery shopping or her Stay at mom boot camp

I only know of the ones that have gone bust. For some reason all of them it was the wife who cheated. 2 were younger, in their late 20's, left the marriage for the AP, that didn't work out, one has re-married, the other I'm not sure about.
Another wife - late 30's, makes double the salary of the husband, he stays home to take care of the kids while she is out partying and drinking. Recently she said she needed a weekend by herself at a hotel to unwind - he is oblivious, checked out most likely. Another wife, again makes double the salary, the husband found out about the affair, caught her twice but wants to stay for the kids. She claimed she felt unloved in the marriage. Another couple, they cheated on each other. Now divorced. About 3 girls I worked with all in their 30's with kids went on girls weekends away and cheated. It was a regular thing they did. In the scheme of things it is a handful of marriages out of everyone I know, there are probably more. I would say more marriages I know seem to be solid and faithful. |

Why do you still hang out with those losers? |
