I was reading a blog where a husband admits he cheats on his wife. He said he is no longer attracted to her like he was when she was in her 20s. He says he still loves her and doesn't want to get divorced. So he cheats on her but doesn't "rub it in her face". He says she knows about it, accepts it, and they don't discuss it.

A woman left a comment that she would have no problem being married to an unfaithful husband as long as he had other qualities she liked.

Have we gotten to the point where the majority of wives have no problem with a cheating spouse? Have we completely shifted to de-facto polygamy? I hope not. Please tell me there are some women left who would say "Hell No!" to the idea of a cheating husband.

Here's a HELL NO! for you! No way, no way, no way would I be ok with it!!! I don't understand how women could accept it and still be with them. Seriously, these must be women who don't feel like they are worthy of anything more. It's sad!

Hell no.

How about if you want to cheat then don't get married. Don't even get into a damn relationship. Just play the field.

Or find a woman who is into having an open marriage.

What I find amusing is most men who cheat on their wives and want them to accept it are the same ones who would have a heart attack if the tables were turned.

No.
And because of economic freedom, I am guessing even fewer women today would put up with it relative to the previous generation.

Hells to the no!

I'm not sure who would be in more trouble... the man cheating or the 'other woman' once I found out who it is.
Cheating is not OK, regardless of if it's a man cheating or a woman cheating. Gross, gross, gross. If you aren't happy, if you don't want to be married anymore, if you're just looking to be bad, then break up, go to counseling, or get a divorce before anything like cheating happens. And don't even get me started on those who take back cheaters because they want to salvage their marriage or children are involved and they don't want to change their lives, etc. You can argue your side until you're blue in the face, but from experience, many children are aware of what's going on and may have feelings of their own about their parent who cheated (depending on their age).

I'd be hard pushed to accept ANY husband, let alone a cheating one!

These "game" blogs claim that due to women's economic freedom there is out of control hypergamy. That women have become so picky that they are only interested in a small % of men. These men (alpha males) have unlimited options and have no interest or incentive to remain faithful in a relationship, including marriage.

I remember when my mom went to real estate school, my dad was convinced she was cheating. Some nights he would even put furniture to block the door so she couldn't come back home after her "cheating" Meanwhile not too long after that my mom discovered my dad was the one who was cheating when she got an STD. They divorced after that.

I remember there was a saying along the lines of something like the ones who cheat are usually the first ones to accuse the other of cheating.
