Cheating has been going on for generations. It just SEEMS more rampant because it's a lot easier to get caught these days: Cell phones, saved text messages; social media, etc.
Exactly. Millennials have it so much tougher. My ol' lady use to ask to smell my pecker and I would just say, "No".

People constantly ignore the fact that most well-to-do, "privileged" people in society largely live by social norms from about 70 years ago. They finish school. They wait until they are married to have kids. They stay married. They save money. They work full time. They avoid incurring debt. They discipline their children. They look down on things like bastardy, infidelity, unorthodox relationships, and unemployment because they realize it weakens the community. The very best way to curb those deleterious behaviors is social shaming.
If everyone you know is cheating on their spouses, it's probably because you are in a bubble of not very "put together" people.

Publicly, yes. But in reality, well-to-do people have even more opportunities to cheat & be total pervs. They may be more discreet, but it’s still rampant, and always has been.

Monogamy is a dumb concept (although i am monogamous)
love and sex shouldn't be strictly intertwined.

There’s different levels of infidelity.
In this age there are more ways to cheat. Besides physical. Texting, video, porn, spas etc. It all depends on the person’s (victims) limitations.
Also, 20 years ago and earlier, you would need to catch them in the act. There wasn’t much proof. If you didn’t witness it, it was easier to get over.
Today it’s a cut from a thousand swords for someone to see the actual texts, or videos and emotional connection you had with another person.
Some infidelity is short lived, only messages and no physical cheating, and can be a result of many things. And people still can’t get over them.
But for most couples who actually experience infidelity, and make the effort to overcome, whether that be therapy or support, they become stronger than previously and sometimes live happier lives than a couple who suppressed everything, never had a moment of crossroads in their relationship.
Everyone is different.
The truth is temptation is at a all time high. Sometimes people slip up and multiple times before they make the necessary changes, and end up being wonderful people.
Good people cheat, bad people cheat, it’s been happening since the beginning of time. I have personally been on both ends. I decided to reach out to therapy to adjust my behavior. When I look back it was actually a great life lesson that made me even better. Not everyone takes that path. And more than likely will continue the pattern.

Why would you be married with kids at 30? It’s 2019 not 1919.

Guy I worked with, late 20s-early30s, had been with his wife for 10 years or so. He found out over Christmas that she had been fricking a married guy twice her age from her work for months. Banging in her car on her lunch break, etc. She developed an ectopic pregnancy that put her in the hospital.
I thought for sure they'd break up, but this guy knew he had married a hotter girl than he deserved and she convinced him to stay by essentially letting him hate-frick her every day for about 2 weeks straight. She was sucking him dry and begging for him to piihb before work every morning.
Now they have a 2 year old and post on Facebook every day about how wonderful their family is.

How the hell do married people with kids and full time jobs have time or energy to cheat?
I’m seriously asking. I can barely finish a tv show after the kids have gone to bed. No way I’m going out to woo other women.

Would you be mad at your wife if she had a business trip and got plowed? Would you consider it cheating if she did it? Same thing applies to you baw

Good thing your wife didn’t follow your advice.

I think it's just a lifespan thing. I'm late 40's and experienced the same dynamic with a lot of people we knew when we were in our 30's. It calms down a little when you hit your 40's.

Your wife and I talked about it last time we were together and she disagrees with you.
