Keep From Straying

It's normal to notice other women, even when you're out with the love of your life. If you start wishing that you were with these other women though, maybe it's time to step back and analyse your relationship. The grass may not necessarily be greener on the other side and the reason for your wandering eye may not even involve sex. Think about these four tips if you think you're liable to cheat on her.

ADDRESS IT
Don't keep things bottled up. Need a confidence boost? Ask your partner for one, says Jan Denise, author of Innately Good: Dispelling the Myth that You’re Not. “Sing each other’s praises,” she says. “If you can talk that openly, that’s intimacy.”

FIND NEW FRIENDS
We all have a friend, or two, who always seems to report a new conquest each time. That's despite being married with two kids to boot. You might even be their godfather. Marriage therapist M. Gary Neuman found that 77 per cent of men who have had affairs know a friend who cheated. The lesson: If your friends cheat, they make it seem normal. Don’t hang around with cheaters.

CONSIDER THE FALLOUT
Lay the guilt trip on yourself before the real thing happens. How can you betray the woman who's been by your side through your darkest hours, and who've given you the best years of your life? She may experience symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder for years afterward – flashbacks, anxiety, depression. Ask yourself if you really want to take that on?

CHANGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Be patient. It won’t be easy keeping your relationship on track, says Neuman. Fixing the relationship you’re currently unsatisfied with will take time, and time together, he adds. Open communications and managing each other's expectations will go a long way towards mending any cracks in your love boat.
