Unbelievably funny and true article. Actually, author seems to really get relationships in general, lots of good insight about what's really going on between men and women.

Do you agree with the author that you really can't affair proof your marriage, or relationships for that matter?

Yes and totally agree that when love, commitment, or respect are missing from a relationship that is definitely what you stress about not sitting around thinking that I just HAVE to keep them from cheating.....

affair proofing a relationship would be like death proofing your day

there is no GUARANTEE but there are things to decrease the odds,,,,

making healthy and safe choices can limit the odds of dying today

and making strong and honest choices can limit the odds of an affair in a relationship

MZ-That was my thought too. It's so unempowering to tell women that they should do stuff to affair proof--that's the other thing I took out of it.

Oh you took it that it was aimed at women? Seemed general, but I was curious on if a female or male wrote this article.... I'm fairly sure I read that original article some time ago and scoffed. But my relationships didn't end due to cheating so I don't have a hang up. So we should hear from some who might find this a more sensitive topic.
