Next to the sudden death of a loved one, being cheated on hurts so excruciatingly bad, maybe it’s time to throw in the towel and just be wild animals

When it comes to cheating, which one are you?

  1. I try not to cheat, but if I do, I keep it secret….and, if I’m caught, I lie — mercilessly and bold-faced — never admitting the indiscretion under any circumstances.

or….

2. Having multiple sexual partners is completely natural and should be openly embraced and accepted as part of a modern, contemporary relationship or marriage.

We’re all wild animals

We tend to cheat — deeply hurting someone in the process.

Everyone has a sexual fantasy hidden in the recesses of their minds.

And when faced with the possibility of actually coming true — with a flesh-and-blood, human being — it causes them to succumb to temptation, praying they’ll get away with it.

Not our kids

This generation doesn’t want to play the hush-hush — if we keep it secret it didn’t happen, mind game of ignoring infidelity.

They’re desperately trying to find a way to have their sexual cake and eat it too.
