Ok, fair enough. I've never really seen affairs as most of my friends are in their late 20's and 30's. Those that are married are in their honeymoon period so luckily, there hasn't been any drama to speak of.. Knock wood.
But I was generally speaking, more about the way the press deals with famous people who have affairs. It is like they make married men a target and the best stories are the ones where they dig up the dirt.
I remember reading somewhere that the statistic with married couples is, 60% of men cheat and 40% of women cheat. (isn't that pretty grim?)
My point is, how come in the news, we only hear about the men that cheat. Bill Clinton, Mark Spitzer, Jon Edwards, Christie Brinkleys husband (Peter Cook), Jude Law, etc.
How come we never hear of women in power or in the public eye cheating? I don't think it's because they are more discrete. I think it's because the media likes to tell stories of men cheating, while I also think a news story of a woman cheating is somewhat taboo.
Almost as if, if it's a man, it's public info. But if it's a woman, she's entitled to her privacy..
