Interesting article. It may or may not be truthful, but it is not accurate beyond the narrow cynical world in which the author lives. No, every rich and powerful man does NOT cheat on their wives. It may help you to live with yourself to rationalize that is so, but wishing it does not make is so.

The aggrieved wife may rationalize her poor choice of mate by thinking that everyone does it, but she’s just making herself feel better. There may be plenty of men of weak character, but that doesn’t mean all or most men are. Just as every man is not a john, so every woman is not a whore.

Commitments matter, be it a marriage vow, a business agreement or an oath of office. Someone who breaks one is more likely to break others. That’s the reality. You can compartimentalize it and say “it’s just about sex” all you want, but you know it’s about whether someone is trustworthy or not. Everyone is human and has failings, but do you have a pattern of them? If so then you need to look at yourself, not others.

The proof is on Mrs. Spitzer’s face. If she REALLY believed “everyone does it”, or it’s “just about sex” she wouldn’t look so humiliated as she keeps her marriage vow.

If you can’t keep a commitment, don’t make it in the first place.
