We just love holiday press releases here at Scanner. We're actually starting to believe they're funded by liquor companies. They're either so full of warm and fuzzy bullshit you want to laugh about it over a bottle of wine or they contain some information that will likely scare you so much you spend the entire holiday throwing back Bailey's on the rocks to forget that your life, as you know it, may crumble in front of you (and your entire family) at any given moment.
Our holiday press release du jour comes from Ruth Houston an, "infidelity expert and author" who thinks you should spend Thanksgiving giving thanks for your monogamous mate. But, she adds, even though you think you have a faithful partner, you probably don't, mmmkay?
It is of the utmost importance to be reminded on Turkey Day, that:
• 50% to 70% of men cheat on their mates
• female infidelity has increased 50% in the past 10 years
• In one study, 70% of married women and 54% of married men whose spouses were cheating had no idea their partner was having an affair.
• In another study, 60% of those who admitted to cheating, said their partner did not know about their affair.
But she's quick to remind us that even if you think your mate falls into the faithful category, think again:
"Most people who are married or in a committed relationship automatically assume their partner is faithful. But as the statistics above indicate, only a small percentage of those in relationships can truthfully make that claim."
Yeah, so instead of spending so much on a free-range, organic turkey this year, you should be saving your money for a private investigator. And booze. Lots of booze.
Thanks, Ruth Huston!
