People have all types of opinions about the OPPOSITE SEX, and who CHEATS the most in relationships. One study shows WOMEN'S INFIDELITY has increased by 50% over the last 20 years, although it is often said men cheat the most, but women cheat smarter? In 2020 is this a myth, or have women caught up to men when comes to INFIDELITY? Even in the past when women were not known to CHEAT as much, there were still MARRIAGES in which women had their husbands unknowingly raising children that were not their own, hence the saying MOMMA'S BABY, DADDY'S MAYBE!!! So when it comes to INFIDELITY are women that much smarter? One INFIDELITY EXPERT explains to men that if the marriage all of sudden goes from stale to amazing that actually could be a sign their WIFE is CHEATING. CALL-IN 646.787.1691 and #GIVEUSYOUR3CENTS as MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
