There, I've gone and done it, writing a headline any tabloid would be proud of. As a British friend of mine would say, "Ev'ry now and then I enjoy a little bit of tripe, don't you?" Okay. I confess to reading a tabby ev'ry now and then. But this story has, as they say about pornography, a bit of socially redeeming value. I'll get to that a bit later. A research study shows that men who are financially dependent on their wives are more likely to be unfaithful. The study shows that men whose wives significantly outearn them are five times more likely to have an affair than situations where both contribute equally to the partnership. While researchers found no compelling reason for the affairs, they speculated that it could be a way of reasserting masculinity for the men. They also speculated that the men had more time on their hands and also found themselves in many situations involving mostly women, due to their house husband status. In the merry old sod, one third of working women earn more than their husbands and this research could cause quite a lot of suspicion. The flipside of this research found that men earning substantially more than their partners will also cheat. You just can't win, when it comes to men. But here's the good news. Only 3.8 percent of men cheated, which was a substantially lower figure than I anticipated. I would have guessed it to be much higher, using the medical profession as a backdrop. Overall, it means that you have a 96 percent chance of marrying someone who will NOT cheat, given that you make more money than your spouse, but not substantially more. Oh... at what rate do women cheat? 1.4 percent. Which proves that women are better than men at most everything. But we already knew that, right? If you're married and you didn't know the correct answer to that question, you certainly need pharmaceutical grade fish oil, which will get all your synapses firing soundly, so you can deftly answer questions like, "Do these pants make my ass look big?" and other various and sundry issues. Get the pharmaceutical grade fish oil that keeps on giving and keep yourself out of the woodshed.
