According to dating website AshleyMadison.com, a large number of women are surprisingly signing up to their website right after mother's day. AshleyMadison.com is a dating website specifically targeted towards people who want to have an affair.
Why do it right after Mother's Day?
It's rather strange that some women choose to cheat on their spouses right after Mother's Day, a day that's specifically dedicated towards giving them appreciation.
One woman, who was interviewed by the New York Post, shares her experience:
"Opening the Mother’s Day card last year from my husband, Derek*, my heart sank. We’d been married for more than 15 years, and I was the mom of his two young children — but he hadn’t even thought to buy me flowers, let alone jewelry.
"The whole run-up to Mother’s Day had been depressing. It made me feel old, like I was losing my sexiness. My marriage was stuck in a rut.
"We’d gotten hitched when I was in my mid-20s. Things were great at first, but they started to fall apart almost as soon as our kids arrived.
"Derek is only 48, but he might as well be in his 70s — he’s always tired and unmotivated. We have sex about once a week, though it’s hardly passionate. I never orgasm and just go through the motions.
She then goes on, saying:
"So, the day after Mother’s Day, I set up a profile on the cheaters’ website Ashley Madison.
"Within minutes, I had responses from several guys, including a man called Tom with three children. He was 42, worked in the medical field and his marriage was even more dysfunctional than mine.
"Even though it was a big deal for me to cheat on Derek, I didn’t feel guilty. I finally felt alive and sexy again. I didn’t tell a soul — not even my best friends. It felt good having this big secret all to myself.
Talk to each other
A lack of passion and romance in the relationship can sometimes be the cause for someone to cheat. However, that isn't a justification as cheating in itself is wrong.
The best way for couples to solve their marital issues would be to talk to each other so that their problems can be addressed.
Most of the time, a lack of communication really is the cause of a couple's problems. Listening to what your spouse has to say, and telling them what's on your mind is a great way to solve problems without making a bigger problem.
