Can cheating help a marriage/relationship?

I was listening to the Big Tigger Morning Show and his discussion was very interesting. Can cheating help a marriage/relationship?

One woman said her husband cheating on her was the best thing that happened in their marriage. It made her look at herself and what she was doing wrong instead of being mad at him. Now they are happily married for 25 years. My first thought was – he’s probably still cheating. The woman goes on to say she was more concerned about everything else in life and that made him stray away and have an affair.

What happened to communication? If he was unhappy in the marriage because she wasn’t “paying him enough attention,” why not express your concerns with her before going out and cheating? That excuse of “I went somewhere else to get what I wanted” is so old to me. Sometimes I believe people cheat just to cheat.

Why do women always bash themselves and say, “It was me that made him cheat.” Please! If the shoe were on the other foot and a man’s wife cheated on him, he wouldn’t think twice about letting her go.

As I’m listening to the show, it amazed me at how many women were calling in saying yes it would open up their eyes to what they were doing wrong in the marriage. So your spouse needs to cheat in order for you to know what you’re doing wrong?

Cheating to me is unacceptable. If it's okay to cheat, its okay to be completely dishonest throughout the entire marriage.

What are your thoughts?

  1. Cheating is an eye opener alright but not for me to see what I am doing wrong but the wrong that he just did to me!! Women need to stop being so insecure and always thinking it is because of them that the men cheat! Men cheat because they want too not because you are doing something wrong!

    If I did do something wrong then tell me what I did because by you going out and sleeping with someone else is not helping me understand what I did wrong. To the women who said it was an eye opener I say STOP BEING STUPID!! What's good for the goose is good for the gander....when the men do something wrong you go out and cheat and see what happens.
