From the author: Reflections of the author on the topic of female infidelity. The idea for the article arose from two similar incidents in life, occurring almost in parallel. And I wondered if there was a pattern here? He achieved everything himself, a successful businessman who created several successful businesses. A little tired of constant competition lately, he decided to take a break and take care of the house. He began to enjoy keeping the house in order, taking his youngest daughter to clubs, finding interesting recipes on the Internet and creating culinary masterpieces for dinner. And his the wife changed in six months, she found pleasure in running a business, became more self-confident, her clothes became provocative, bold, open. At first everything was fine, everyone seemed to be in their place, and both liked it, but... In some At that moment he began to notice that she was lying. He couldn't explain why he thought so - he just felt it. And then he started going through her phone, and for good reason. I pulled out a once deleted correspondence from some archive. There was no doubt - she was having an affair. He couldn’t believe his eyes. No, not her. He was her only man, they had been together since school, and she valued their family so much. Shock gave way to anger, and he decided to sort things out. Then another blow awaited him. He thought that she would repent, cry, beg... But she simply, after listening to him, said: “Yes, it happened, but it’s in the past, forget it.” He had never felt such pain inside. He wanted to throw her out of his life, but what about the children? He didn’t at all want to be a visiting dad and much more that could stem from a divorce, but he couldn’t forget it. Another case. He worked in a serious company, and his salary was enough for his wife to stay at home with her son and don't work. Everything was fine, but he didn’t see the child because he came late, when the baby was already asleep. On his only day off, Sunday, he hurried with his friends to the bathhouse, and this continued until he quarreled with the boss, and then there was an inspection, and he was offered to leave of his own free will. His wife was then seven months pregnant, and fortunately they savings, which made it possible to survive this difficult period tolerably. He looked for work in his specialty and enjoyed housekeeping. He discovered his culinary talent and often repeated that the best cooks are men. When his youngest son was four months old, a financial issue arose. And his wife went to work. Relations in the family became tense, they began to quarrel often. In order to somehow smooth out the situation, he tried to compensate for this with homework: the house was clean, everything was washed, the youngest son was well-fed and happy, the elder son had his homework checked. One day her phone rang and she went into the bathroom to talk. Need I say that he went to eavesdrop? The fact that she turned on the water finished him off, and he tore off the lock on the door. Then there was a showdown, his hysteria and the agony of choice: what to do? Moreover, he was very angry that she did not repent, but said: “Look at yourself, you didn’t have it!” I asked my husband what he, as a man, thought about this. Is there some kind of pattern here? Is such a development scenario possible if another family finds itself in a similar situation? And this is what he replied: “What do you think, from the point of view of nature, why should a woman remain faithful? In order for the man to be sure that the child she gave birth to is his child. Then in this case he will have a subconscious, that is, a true desire coming from the heart to protect and provide resources for a woman and a child. I am talking about subconscious programs inherent in a person by nature. After all, there was no DNA testing or abortions before. A man by nature is a provider of resources, a woman is a keeper of the hearth. In order to extract resources, you need to be able to fight and compete, in order to maintain a home, you need to be able to be peaceful and negotiate.
