I found this interesting.  We hear that money is the cause of most divorces but we’re seeing the gender gap between unfaithful spouses closing: In 2010 surveys found 19% of men and 14% of women admitted to cheating on their partner. Last year, a study by Indiana University and the famous Kinsey Institute found that the current numbers were 23% for men and 19% for women.

‘One reason cited for this sea change is "infidelity overload," the influx and normalization of unfaithful women in pop culture.  The increased numbers of women away on business trips was another factor.  And in another study conducted earlier this year by cultural anthropologist Helen Fisher for Match.com also seemed to say women have become more ambivalent about relationships and commitment: 77% of women said they needed personal space away from a partner, while only 58% of men said the same. 35% of the ladies also requested a “Girls Night Out” which 23% of men said they needed.

I don’t think we can blame just one gender for the apparent increase in infidelity.  I do think that people take marriage, relationships, and faithfulness much less seriously than our parent’s generation did.
