With a reported 50% increase in infidelity among woman, a cheating wife is not such a rarity anymore.

So what's the scoop?

Are more women really partaking of the same adulterous rendezvous' that they have long condemned males for? Yes, they are. They may do it for different reasons then men do, but they are doing it.

Many men cheat on their wives purely for the joy of sex. They aren't getting enough at home, so, they go for the "married but not getting any - sex, that's what we're here for - no strings attached" routine. Pure, sexual gratification is really all they are looking for. They have absolutely no desire to change their current situation or disrupt their family. Considering sex to be a natural male, physical "need" and disassociating it from "love" can justify cheating for a man.

For women on the other hand, things are not quite that simple. They are more likely to misinterpret the intimacy of sex with another as emotional closeness, something they may feel they are lacking with their husband.

Today's busy families seldom connect for more than a few minutes out of each day. The lack of communication between spouses can make it very easy for a woman to feel neglected or taken for granted.

Men rarely leave their wives for their mistresses because there is no emotional involvement on their part. Women however, thrive on emotion and crave intimacy. They are much more likely to jump ship for what they believe to be true Romance. Often, they discover too late that their sexual partner had no desire for a long term relationship.

Couples need to take time out each day to talk to each other and listen, really listen. People rarely do that anymore. Often the signs of a disintegrating relationship are right under our noses but, we have stopped looking at each other so we don't noticed until it's too late.

Think about it. You spend eight hours a day, everyday with a flirting co-worker while at best, you spend maybe one hour alone with your spouse after a busy day. And what are two of you doing during that hour?

Remote control in one hand and scratching with the other, the husband is thinking about that hot secretary he "banged" during his lunch break today because his wife was too tired to put out last night. No big deal.

And the wife? Based on feelings of false euphoria, she has made the decision to "work late" with her co-worker tomorrow. He makes her feel sexy and desirable.

What a waste!

It's 6 PM and there is no supper on the table…

…guess who's cheating now?
