<description><![CDATA[DR.Albert R.Levy,Phd: So called &quot;cheating&quot; spouses also requite a naive,gullible partner and being with someone so gullible and naive and are like goody-two shoes is boring.Sexual problems are never &quot;sexual&quot; problems despite what many +sex therapists like to claim&quot;.<br />
<br />
Usually when someone feels betrayed,the focus with most &quot;couples therapists) is on the so called betrayer but if he or she has to examine why they do that(not just say I am sorry and other excuses) but the &quot;so-vcalled betray&quot; partner need to examine how he or she is not aying attention and THAT,is a psychological problem.Who wants to be married to someone who is naive and clueless and doesn't pay attention to the problems and unhappiness in the marriage./Let us move quickly away from the psychology of victimhood.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Lisa Moore, MFT: Cheating typically involves lying and leading a double life, sometimes for months and years, knowing that the cheated on partner/children are being profoundly betrayed. <br />
<br />
I think it's important not to normalize what are actually serious character problems. For example, if a corporate executive lies and steals from the company, we don't try to give estimates of how many executives do this, in order to show that it's &quot;normal.&quot;<br />
<br />
Partners who cheat are willing to throw their partners and children under the bus in order to get what they want when they want it. <br />

<description><![CDATA[Luisa Kolker, MA LPC: A  person who betrays the trust of another with whom there is a relationship of vulnerability (their spouse, child, therapy client) is demonstrating a core wounding around his or her OWN self worth. Where there is a core wound regarding self-worth, the person in question will not be capable of relating honorably nor empathetically with those closest to him/her. To blame the partner of the cheater by saying she or he &quot;knew&quot; of the infidelity is a disturbing simplification and rationalization. &quot;Shamelessness&quot; is the result of the breakdown of an individual's capacity to feel healthy shame (prevalent in our narcissistically-wounded culture). The fact is that where there is shameless behavior (cheating, rape, theft, lying), there ARE victims. The victimized person does not have to stay victimized, and that is where we as therapists may help. By the same token, the cheater/rapist/thief may also be assisted in learning how to come into relationship with his or her core wounding, rather than medicating it by acting out in shameless ways that rupture the trust of loved ones. Incidentally, the argument that wild animals are polygamous does not hold water as an example for those of us with a neo-cortex. Wild animals also murder, steal and cannibalize.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Albert R.Levy,PhD: Why all this fuss and worry about the &quot;pain&quot; caused by parents who screw up their marriages. Intentionally or unintentionally. How about doing some research (well,our patients describe in detail) about the effect on children of parents who stay in depressed,loveless,sexless marriages. Or use their kids as friends and confidantes.<br />
<br />
Insensitive parents have lousy marriages. Maybe they never really wanted to be married in the first place. I have known countless (in therapy and in my personal life) lots and lots (I know,that is not a scientific fact) of individuals who &quot;knew&quot; their marriage was a mistake on their wedding night, 2 weeks, 7 months, one year after the marriage that it was lousy but 18 years go by. Ask your friends who have been divorced when they knew their marriage was terrible or that they had made a mistake. You will be astounded at what you hear.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Albert R.Levy,PhD: &quot;Happily married and yet go outside the marriage. &quot;That is just plain silly and wrong! You and i have different ideas what&quot;happy&quot; is.If you think Bill and Hilary Clinton have a &quot;happy marriage&quot;,well,then..... I have never seen a so-called &quot;sexual problem&quot; that is not a relationship problem whither it be so-called frigidity or so-called &quot;impotence&quot; or whatever. They are are matters of how people relate or to not relate to each other.  Let's be rational and psychological here. No need to get moralistic and label one person the bad guy or girl. That makes no sense.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Albert R.Levy,PhD: Being involved with anyone sexually or romantically &quot;outside&quot; the marriage means the person is showing contempt for their partner.It is impossible to be happily married and yet feel sexually unfulfilled.Unhappy enough to seek out another person.That is nonsense.It is also folly to say that someone&quot;cheated&quot;.It takes both parties to not know what is going on in their marriage.It is all to easy to get moralistic and talk about &quot;cheating&quot; or &quot;lying&quot; or &quot;unfaithful&quot;.<br />
<br />
In good and viable marriages,there are no surprises.<br />
<br />
Many people wish to leave their barren and loveless marriage and this is the only way they can do that without feeling guilty.   Can't we be psychological about this without becoming moralistic about it.<br />
<br />
Marriage is not a noun;it is a verb.Two people can be legally married but care not one whit about each other and worse of all,maybe never did.<br />
<br />
Ask many people who have been married for some time and that marriage ended in divorce:ask them when they knew their marriage was over and more than you can imagine will say on their wedding day or one week after the marriage or 5 months. And yet,18 years go by.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Gerald Vest, LISW/ACSW: Our soldiers and their families are the real heros as they have been away from their partner for several long tours and suffer injuries related to stress, anxiety and depression, often because so many have closed their sex door. I believe that many of our military religious leaders--puritans &amp; zealots--have established policies on our soldiers and others have contributed to the problem as they impose their beliefs on others and then the military enforces their 'laws'. If you are married and have an affair with someone else, you are in danger of being court martialed. I've seen this happen with some of our great career soldiers and our Country is at risk because of these rules. Thank you Dr. Zur for bringing these issues into the light.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sheryl Lowthan-Haynes, Counselling Psyc.: There is always consequences for things that are done out of the what was commanded for man to do. I noticed that David's infifelity was mention but he repented from his actions after.The reasons man and women cheat is not always noble,there are sometimes selfish reasons why this is done and  someone will be hurt in the end. Fun and excitement may be present at first but bitterness will be there in the end. For a marriage to survive there has to be full and sincere forgiveness and repentance. I believe there is something lacking in a relationship that causes a spouse to cheat, it maybe companionship, communication between spouse my be strained or non-existent and the physical attraction may have lost its appeal. <br />
Premartial counselling is essential as this where the couples get the guidance that helps them build a relationship that can be affair and infidelity proof.]]></description>
