How to approach your cheated spouse

A US relationship and marriage counsellor may have some words of wisdom for those who are caught playing away from home.

Writing for theresident.com, Neil Rosenthal suggests that male and female partners must be approached differently if they discover you are having a secret affair.

"Research suggests that men tend to be more focused on the sexual aspect of an affair," says Mr Rosenthal.

Therefore, women who have been caught getting a bit on the side could benefit from playing down the intimacy side of things, instead claiming that they were married but looking for a bit of companionship.

Meanwhile, he reveals that "women are more threatened by whether an affair has become a love relationship and whether the other woman was getting romance".

This suggests that male adulterers may be better off holding their hands up and saying they were getting a bit of nookie, rather than emotionally engaging in a secret affair.

Of course, for those who are unsure how their partners would handle revelations of infidelity it may be best to remember to be cautious, cover your tracks and pay as much attention to your marital partner as you do to your bit on the side.
