Can a woman’s success give a man a reason to cheat? Members of the medical community think so. According to Dr. Jeffery, (remember him from the Montel Williams show back in the day?) men often cheat on their more successful wives because their ego cannot handle her success. You buying it? While I do agree that men often allow their egos to control their actions I can’t agree with it being a sufficient reason to do so. A man has to find a way to deal with the ego monster that raises its ugly head every time your woman gets a promotion at work while you barely receive recognition from your job. Not every man can handle this. [pullquote]In fact, it takes a strong minded man to handle a woman with any serious career at all and having to share her with that career.[/pullquote] Knowing in his heart that though she might not always be there at your beck and call, she still loves you dearly. It takes a strong man, but it can be done.
I love how the doctor made note of how Sandra Bullock’s husband had a thing for tattooed stripper chicks before he got with her. Meaning that Sandra probably was never his type to begin with. I agree with that. How often have you dated the same type of guy over and over again? It can be a challenge trying to stop yourself from dating the same broke losers over and over. [pullquote]Or the same pretty boy who thinks he is too sexy to be with just one woman so baby girl is just going to have to “deal”. [/pullquote]You get my point.
My question is is their any way to combat a man’s need to cheat on his more successful mate? Is her success reason enough for him to cheat or are there deeper reasons?
OK, ladies, please step up. In years past I have watched ladies on shows from Donahue, to Oprah, to Sally talk about how they felt alone in their own homes because of men that were dedicated to their careers. I heard the (so called) experts on the panels and the enlightened women in those audiences give women a pass on an affair because they were neglected by their much more successful husbands.
I find it quite ironic and funny that now when the same thing happens to women who become successful, ladies find a way to make it about the man again.
In all honesty cheating is and has always been on the cheater. I think it is wrong now, just as I did when it was running rampant in the past. I just wish I could find some consistency from women in some of these forums.
