Adultery and Divorce
Adultery and divorce by ask agony aunt online, free agony aunts. Did you know that there were many more people getting married ten years ago than there are now? Did you know that twenty or thirty years ago there were even more? If things continue to change at the rate they have been very few couples will be getting married in the future. Whether that is a good or a bad thing, depends on how you see things.
My name is Charlotte Craig, President of The Association of Agony Aunts, the best ask agony aunt online, with thirty years of experience as a full-time professional , the only one of the agony aunts recommended by the Press, celebrities, experts, professionals, television and radio. Having spoken to thousands of people about their relationships or lack of them it seems to me that the reason marriage is less popular now is because people have more freedom of choice. Gone are the days of a woman needing to marry a man so that she has a roof over her head and food to eat. Gone are the days of a man having to marry to get a housekeeper and sex.
With freedom of choice comes adultery. With freedom of choice comes the end of a marriage. People are more likely to be unhappy with their situation and believe that the grass is greener on the other side, they are less likely to be concerned about how to hide it from their partner or worry about if the partner finds out. They do not see marriage as the life long prison sentence it used to be where people had to make the most of a bad job. In many ways it would make more sense if we got married for a certain number of years and we had the option to renew at the end of that time. But that would also mean that people would be complacent or lazy and take things for granted or not try very hard.
Twenty years ago if your husband or wife committed adultery you could get a divorce based on that. Then that changed and that became impossible. You can get a divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty or unreasonable behaviour, which includes things such as physical violence.
The majority of women who find out that their husband has cheated tend to worry that he will leave her for the other woman or find another woman he prefers! They usually ask him to stay, plead with him if necessary, tell him that he is forgiven. Is this because they have no self respect? Is it because they do not see what is really happening? Is it because they cannot stand the idea of being single? They are certainly very naive if they truly believe that he will change or start to love them.
Most marriages end, that is a sad fact. Most strong people would insist on the marriage ending if they found out their spouse had cheated. Most people do not care if they end up single. Hence adultery and divorce are common.
