The topics of monogamy and (in)fidelity (sexual or emotional), as well as how they are different for men and women, have really interested me ever since I read The Bitch in the House. Regardless of what type of relationship you're in, regardless of whether you've experienced the situations the author describes (on either end), I think there are about to be "a-ha!" moments in here. I don't completely buy all the evolution-based explanations of why some people seek fulfillment outside their partne The topics of monogamy and (in)fidelity (sexual or emotional), as well as how they are different for men and women, have really interested me ever since I read The Bitch in the House. Regardless of what type of relationship you're in, regardless of whether you've experienced the situations the author describes (on either end), I think there are about to be "a-ha!" moments in here. I don't completely buy all the evolution-based explanations of why some people seek fulfillment outside their partnerships, namely, that women want sperm and men want to give it to them, since I think that the emotional and logical parts of our brains have evolved in such a way as to wield power over baser, more physical instincts. But the author does acknowledge those emotional parts, too... the "high" at the beginning of a relationship (licit or otherwise), for instance, and she compares this to the sensations evoked by certain drugs. This doesn't mean that women "living in limbo" (as she puts it) are sex addicts any more than they are drug addicts, but that individuals can, well, fall in love with the experience of being in love. I don't think she phrases it that way, but that's how I understood it.
Not scientific, almost in the realm of self-help, but insightful and very revealing about women, monogamy, and how all this works in our patriarchal society.

I'm not married and never cheated when in relationship, but I was interested in the subject of infidelity and came across this book.
I really liked it. It answered some questions I had.
I also talked to a friend of mine who in fact is married, has problems in her marriage and who cheats on her husband. I gave her this book to read and she thanked me later.
She said this book answered all of her questions and her life has finally started making sense because she, being in her 40-ies with a 20 year I'm not married and never cheated when in relationship, but I was interested in the subject of infidelity and came across this book.

As a man, I am always been curious and also frightened to know why women cheat and what I have to do to prevent this happen to me. I found this fear existed in males for a long time in history and part of INVENTING marriage is due to ensuring that their genes got a chance to pass to next generation.

I found this fear existed in males for a long time in history and part of INVENTING marriage is due to ensuring that their genes got a chance to pass to next generation.
When I was reading this book, my feeling swings between anger, shock, fear, and more importantly understanding. This book really makes sense. The Cheating Pattern is repetitive and it happens all the times. Men should be aware of female sexuality and also women themselves. Women enter their sexual prime in their 30's and most cheating happen around that time.
Women cheat because they want sex, they want a new experience, their need does not fulfill in marriage and because cheating is exciting. But this creates tremendous pain for their partner. After reading this book you realize it could happen to everyone so be aware and prepared for it.
I learned the worst thing a man could do when he notices his wife is infidel is to try to hold on to marriage desperately. This repels women more and exacerbates the situation. He should stay strong and integrate and make clear demand that she has to choose either she wants to leave or she wants to work on their relationship. Men should have other relationships and close friends to rely on, so they do not break down entirely when they are betrayed.
I realized it is important for men to be aware of women sexuality, and keep their bedroom exciting as much as it is possible. When a relationship is new, novelty creates excitement and sexual momentum. We perceive this as romantic LOVE. But after years sexual boredom and over-familiarity are inevitable. There is another type of love, the type between child and parent, and also between affectionate couples. This kind of love maybe not as thrilling as the previous one but stronger and last longer. So in the long-lasting relationship, orgasm is important but intimacy and non-sexual touching are important too. It won't work out if you leave out either of those.
It is also important to have an open communication line where partner could express their feelings, needs, and fantasies freely without fear and judgment.

The more we become aware of our nature, our behavior seems more reasonable. We are different. monogamy does not suit for everyone. It is a fact and we should deal with it.

Those who cheat on their partners who are loyal to them; don't deserve them. It is a trashy attitude to disrespect a person who is loyal in a relationship, by cheating on him or her.If you succeed in cheating someone, don't think that the person is a fool realize that the person trusted you much, more than you deserve.I've been bullied by my wife for months and this got me worried cause she complains on every little thing I do in the house.

It is a trashy attitude to disrespect a person who is loyal in a relationship, by cheating on him or her.If you succeed in cheating someone, don't think that the person is a fool realize that the person trusted you much, more than you deserve.I've been bullied by my wife for months and this got me worried cause she complains on every little thing I do in the house. I asked her what was wrong and why the change of attitude, she got no excuse for her actions I took out time to observe her behavior and I got to know he's been seeing another man a co-worker where she works.I needed a solid and concrete proof of her cheating ways, a friend introduced me to an expert named webhubghost (@) gmailcom, I was able to reach out to him on his mail: He got into his phone remotely within a twinkle of an eye and I was able to see all his activities on his phone ranging from text messages, call logs to social media activity. I concluded every man cheats in his own way, and he is only honest who is not discovered. The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones. Knowing is better than self doubt, get in touch with the real deal webhubghost (@) gmailcom and get freed from an abusive relationship. This app works perfectly but you need the help of the real deal with the email above to get loose from the chains of a cheater and abusive relationship by getting concrete proof through his expertise and prowess. Give Ben a try and regret no more, better days ahead. Ultimately, Look before you leap as the adage says and know fully the habits of your partner before venturing into a relationship. A broken relationship is far better than a broken marriage, a lot of people have suffered the pain of infidelity.

It's a hard pill to swallow. The thing I like about this book is that it's blunt. Although I'm a believer in monogamy, this book is still helpful, and serves as an early-warning guide. If you're thinking about reading it, I think you should.

Read the book.
Note this book won't teach you some sex techniques or really any tips to prevent your partner from leaving. It's more based on the reasoning on why they leave. I wish this book talked more about preventative measures related to the four stages.

A very good description about human sexuality in general. I was very surprised by the information here presented, yet I believe it to be true because of how everything fits together and I can also say it matches what I've seen and experienced myself.
I would recommend the book to anyone interested in relationships or in overall human behavior.
Interesting perspective, but never really addresses why the women are unhappy in the first place. There's an assumption that women cheat just because they are bored and the men are innocent bystanders. Not very helpful in my sexual studies.

I married young and nothing seemed to be helping me get through all the feelings I was experiencing. I went to therapy and revealed my emotional affair but still felt like something was seriously wrong with me because of my seeming inability to navigate the situation. This book gave me so much clarity and I'm on my way to more solid ground. I would really recommend you read this. We need to face the truth about women's forms of aggression and this book does just that. I married young and nothing seemed to be helping me get through all the feelings I was experiencing.
