60% of women who have cheated say they strayed away because they were unhappy in their relationship. This is akin to reclaiming their right to be happy. Women aren't passive creatures any more: they aren't afraid to open their mouths and they won't stand for being trodden on or denied.
The classic tale goes something like this: after a few years together, the woman gets bored and realises she's not happy. What could be more natural than to seek a bit of satisfaction elsewhere if she's not getting what she wants at home? And yet seeking solace in a stranger's arms isn't exactly the ideal solution to a relationship problem.
Grill yourself and ask what it is you really want: to save your relationship by provoking a reaction from him, or just to find something to counter his indifference and make life a bit more interesting? Or are you just using it as an excuse to end your relationship and start over?
