Article: Is physical or emotional cheating worse?

[Yoyowife]

I never noticed how many articles were written about infidelity until it touched my life.

In this month's issue of "Ladies Home Journal" in the 'Can this marriage be saved' secion it is about infidelity.

Basically, it amounts to that the couple got married young. The H climbed the corporate ladder while th mother was a sahm. While he was traveling he began having several one night stands.

His excuse? The wife never paid him any attention. All her time was devoted to the kids. When he was at home she had a list of chores that needed to be done. Sadly, this does happen in lots of marriages.

I was very guilty of devoting my time to my kids. But, aren't we adults? Don't we realize that things are not always about "us" once the kids are born? Yes, sadly, we don't work on our marriages like we should, but what happened to communication instead of the bandaid of an affair?

Once my H moved out...he got to have the life he wanted. The OW gave him all the attention he desired. Her son was young. She put him to bed early so they could have "alone" time. She only has him one weekend out of the month, so they are able to act like teenagers and go and do whatever they want on the weekends,
while we LBS continue to be the parent and take care of our kids like they deserve to be. Sorry for the rant....the article just stuck a chord in me!
