Just seen so many men cheat on their wives straight after their first child is born. Has anyone else noticed this?

Men working away opens up the lines for both men and women to have affairs. Just as many women cheat on their husbands while they’re away for work etc.

Don't agree. A lot of those women are at home with the kids while the men work away, therefore a much reduced opportunity than men who have all the non work free time (the women are not similarly free), in places where ppl don't generally know them or their family (and therefore noone will mention anything to their partner).

Most of the marriages I know seem pretty solid (fingers crossed), but the two that have broken up both happened because the man cheated when the baby (not the first though) was less than six months old.

So women getting distracted by babies causes their partners to cheat??
Maybe these men need to spent some time getting distracted by they're babies too then mum and dad can work as a team.

Although, all the men I know have been completely besotted by their babies and treat their wives with the respect they deserve

This is what happens when you're distracted by babies! (Or a lively toddler)

I don't know anyone personally but it seem prevalent on MN.

@LifeBeginsAtGin - Who goes online to say how great everything is?

(Ans.-My Auntie does with her Round Robins. If she posted here, she'd need a 'Smug' Topic)

I actually think a "Smug Topic" is a brilliant idea! Grin
