Is it okay for girls to feel this way?

Where did I say it was ok? I'm offering possible explanations to their behavior.

Well, I didn't say they often have issues, and I gave gender-neutral examples. I'm not saying that the women the OP mentioned deserved to be cheated on or that they are bad wives. Sometimes the person who cheats is just a scandalous, opportunistic pig of a person. That happens too.

I was just addressing the attitude that being good-looking and successful is all a person has to be to catch a mate and keep him or her.

Some may have realized that they married someone who only married them for their fame and fortune and figure it would be cheaper to screw around then to give up half their fortune in a divorce, not realizing that once they get caught they're going to lose more than just half their crap. They lose endorsements and contracts too. There's no one answer that fits all.
As bad as I feel about it...well no, actually I don't give a crap anymore, but I've done this very thing. Sans the whole "high profile part".

My ex was very good looking, and after about 2 years I became un-attracted and disconnected, so to speak. And I was/am immature and I fooled around. Did I learn a lesson? Yes. Is it a genuine feeling some guys will inevitably have to fight, probably for the rest of their lives? Yes.

I just think some people may get whatever they want, but it leaves them feeling like they want something different.

Frankly, I find the whole "trash" metaphor to be dehumanizing.

And also, all of this "justification" about how "beautiful women" can be "vain" and blah, blah, blah, like it is the spouse's fault someone cheated is absolutely disgusting.

When people cheat, it is a sign that something is wrong in the marriage. The person who cheats has needs that aren't being met and should therefore talk to his or her spouse about it. It's a team effort. If, after counseling and so on, the other spouse fails to meet those needs, then the unhappy person should have the self-respect to leave. In the end, the responsibility for cheating falls on the cheater, not the spouse he or she cheated on. They're big boys and girls. They can control their own actions.

So why do they do it? Because they are cowards who don't have the courage to leave. Kids, position, money--none of that is a good excuse for the dishonesty, self-destructiveness, and self-degradation of cheating.
