Welcome back. We’ve been talking about the reasons people cheat on their spouses, and the answers may be somewhat surprising to you. Or maybe they won’t. (You might be more in tune with human nature than you give yourself credit for!). Either way, in the previous article we looked at some of the more common…

It’s a legitimate question, and one that we’ve been asked a surprising number of times over the years, despite the fact that we couldn’t possibly have all the answers about infidelity. (We’re lawyers, after all, not marriage experts.) But with enough people wondering about what causes someone to cheat, we thought we’d spend a little…
