How prevalent is it in desi community?
Are successful independent women more likely to cheat?
And most important question of them all,
What would you do if you find your partner cheating on you?
Re: Cheating on your partner
Confront them about it and ask them why.
Re: Cheating on your partner
I'd cheat on him before he cheats on me. Cuz I'm successful and independent.
Re: Cheating on your partner
In real world - Independence eliminates the chances of cheating :)

and what makes you say this?
Re: Cheating on your partner
1: It could be prevalent in any community. And there is no time and space limit for that. there cannot be any black and white division regarding its better or worse in the desi community.
2: Independent women have 101 other headaches than cheating on their husbands. Cheating stuff basically originates from dissatisfaction and frustration. So you cannot possibly maintain that independent women are more likely to cheat on their husbands.
3: I would quit. what else. there is no good living in a relationship when your partner isnt happy and satisfied enough with you.
Re: Cheating on your partner
If a man is mucking around, that just means he is doing test runs for a 2nd prospective partner. The maulvi says we can do 4, yeh?
If a woman is cheating, thats purely cheating cause she isn't supposed to have more than 1 partners anyway. So there, by simple logic, it is not okay for a woman to do that.
Re: Cheating on your partner
That 'study' suggests a correlation between power (and the confidence that comes with it) and infidelity. So if a woman feels powerful, is actually powerful or perceives herself as such, she's more likely to lack inhibition/follow impulses. The logic is that power causes both men and women to view themselves as more attractive than they really are, causing them to flirt more and perceive others' innocuous comments as come-ons. I really can't think of anyone male on GS who fits that description, nope.
Why would this worry you though. As much talent as it takes for a woman to tie herself to a bedpost, taking breaks only to slap some lunch meat between 2 slices of bread, a mental giant like that isn't going to cheat on you. I wouldn't fret over scenarios out of my league.
:D
Re: Cheating on your partner
"He and his team analyzed responses from 1,561 people who took part in an anonymous online survey. They were asked about their amount of power at work, confidence levels, and perception of risks associated with infidelity."
survey is baseless. IMHO, there is no correlation between power and cheating. dont you forget to consider to whom powerful gender making affair. isnt he/she also considered cheater?
Re: Cheating on your partner

go to that dash woman...puch puch
stay away from my man or ill break your legs.
things like these dont have a stop until and unless the OTHER woman backs off.
Errr Annie usually the man is not so innocent either
Re: Cheating on your partner
but he is your property!:)
especially if you have kids.
you should fight to get your husband back for their sake atleast.
and if he appologizes the first time you encounter him,give him a chance.
if he is stubborn?involve your families.
if its not working out,then leave him.atleast you wont regret looking back thinking you didnt try to make it work.
but all this trying to get him back thing needs a BIG heart i guess.
sad.life.
Re: Cheating on your partner
and if the woman doesnt back off,minimal chances that your man will.
Re: Cheating on your partner
even if the other woman is innocent and is being cheated by your man,you should go to her and work it out.
Re: Cheating on your partner
good education and knowledge should make one a better person. your goal should be providing happiness and comfort to people in your surrounding.
if someone is cheating, doesn't mean also need to follow their footstep and become a pig like them.
