Can I cheat on my spouse?

So it turns out that more of us are cheating and the Internet and other communication technologies are helping us. National Science Foundation and University of Chicago have found that infidelity is rising among older men and young couples.

The other very interesting part is that women are now cheating more often. The data from the research shows that about 10% of married people — 12 percent of men and 7 percent of women — say they are sleeping with someone they are not married to.

I think adultery is not necessarily unhealthy for a relationship if it is done to get what is not available in your relationship (Related: When is adultery acceptable?). Rather than suffer and get depressed, it may be perfectly alright to get it some place else.

Let us say that you enjoy certain type of bedroom adventure and your spouse does not want to participate. Guess what? It is perfectly fine to try it with someone else. Most people who have written to me after taking this approach have found that it only strengthened their marriage and they found that they were happier overall. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith seem to have a very open relationship because they can talk about these things.
