View More Posts
I am curious about some theories I have heard about Adultery. If you are interested please answer the following questions.

1) Do you live in small town or city?

2) Did the betrayed in your situation know the OW / OM?

3) Did the cheater in your situation have some type of addiction?

4) Did the cheater in your situation have some type of mental problem?
for example: Bi-polar or depression

5) How old is the cheater in your situation and are they female or male?

6) How long were you married when the cheating started?

7) Before you knew about the infidelity did you consider your marriage good?
