    Ah yea and as I said I also blame the girlfriends for turning a blond eye to it and accepting it. They're being taken for idiots.

    Or they don't really care about the lack of trust or where their man is. Lets be honest here. Many marriages are loveless situations with people being together for their own reasons. Children, money, security, etc. It's not even the case of it being another culture... I know Irish couples who are only together because they don't want to be alone. And that's without any cheating being involved.

    This almost unspoken belief that most are married for love, and commitment is false. They might have married for those reasons but, as time went by, those factors diminished to nothing.

    For every 1 couple that divorce/separate, there are another 3 couples, who stick together because they don't want to hurt the kids, don't want the neighbors to know, or some other reason only important to themselves.

    I couldn't do it.. but then again, I'm still unmarried in my 40s, and not through lack of choice.

    Seriously, OP, what did you observe on holiday? If the people were strangers, how do you know which were having affairs?

    To quote my bachelor uncle - Tis a great sign of prosperity when a man can afford to keep 2 women.

    In my experience, women don't forget about their man cheating.. forgive maybe (although words are cheap), but the trust is essentially gone. I'd be surprised if these wives haven't had their own revenge affairs unless they're not particularly interested in sex.

    Not sure how this only applies to women. Men don't forget or trust anymore either in my experience.

    I stated about women because that's where the thread had focused. Just as Crea described her experience of men cheating but didn't mention any women.
