Happy Wives Allow Husbands To Cheat
77
The Punchline
Happy wives are those who are Cherished, Loved unconditionally, Provided for and Have lots of meaningful sex.
How does the average wife attain all of this?
Allow your husband the freedom to cheat and he will MOST LIKELY decide NOT to hook up with that hottie from the bar, will be driven to take that promotion and spoil you with his last pennies.
Here's why:
For the same reason DOGS are "Man's Best Friend"
Men are trustworthy creatures who will stick by the most loyal people in his life. If you show your husband loyalty and trust he will not cheat on you and you will get everything you want in your perfect husband.
How to give your husband the "Freedom to Cheat"
Let HIM call you from the office. Do not call him with anything other than an emergency before he arrives home. This includes blowing up his phone when he's out after work for drinks or out with friends....DON'T EVER DO IT! The same goes for texting.
If you want something picked up from the store, do it sparingly and only in emergencies. Your hubby wants to come home after work just as badly as you do and is NOT your slave. The terms I hear often of marriages are "Team" and "Partnership". Teamwork and partnerships do not involved telling others what to do or even asking for it.... In a team (think at work) people OFFER to take portions of the project, no one is told except by the CEO. There is no CEO in marriage, right? It's a TEAM.
Let him stay at family and friend's houses without you. Give him the freedom to do what he wants. If your man is constantly out with friends and family INSTEAD of you... rethink how you are treating your husband, it could be your fault he doesn't want to spend time with you.
Let him have girlfriends but keep your eye on how much he talks about his new "girl--friend". If they are friends from high school, let it be. If it's a NEW friend who-happens-to-be-a-girl and they spend a great deal alone time together, they are probably sleeping together. In this case, do the counseling thing, or bail.
The BEST gift to give your Husband
For is birthday or Christmas, give your husband a hand-made "Get Out Of Jail Free" Card. This card allows him to confidentially have sex with whomever he wants, only one time.
Explain that the girl would preferably be someone he met in a drunken haze but be careful to point out that contraception is MANDATORY. He's not allow to bring home any STDs or child support payments. He is NOT to tell you when it happens (if it happens) and you are not allowed to be suspicious or ask him if he has used it.
This card makes your husband think you fully TRUST him and are LOYAL to him. I gave this card to my husband and he blushed and said "Thank you, but I don't need this, I love you and I would never cheat on you." In my heart, I don't think my husband has slept with anyone else, but by giving him that card, I think he never will.
Keep Yourself Up
Wives need to act like girlfriends.
Be dressed when he comes home, nice hair, make-up and preferably have dinner plans whether it be homemade or reservations to go out. (He REALLY appreciates this)
Keep your mood up. Mrs. Negativity gets the cold shoulder. Be happy to see your husband and remember how you felt when you were dating... this helps.
Keep a candle lit in the restroom during the first couple hours your hubby is home each noght. The homey smell of vanilla or cinnamon makes your husband feel right at home and happy where he is.
Your cleaning schedule should be every day but Sunday. Do certain tasks each day of the week. Clean up the kids' toys before your husband comes home.
Which Men Are/ Will Be Cheaters?
Men who cheat will have one or both of the following issues:
1) An unappreciative and/or unloving wife.
2) Hatred for himself.
Some men have a history of emotional problems which will drive him to cheat which rears it's head from the sole source of:
A personal ---which means you cannot change this--- problem with commitment. (Seek professional help to find out what the root of the commitment issue is and then DUMP HIM! if he does not improve with therapy/refuses to go.)

Brilliantly conceived ideas eloquesntly expressed. Congratulations! This is a fantastic Hub!
You're clever Christa and so is your hubby. It stands to reason that a few of the Super Smart Husbands will see right through the "Get Out of Jail Free" card. Thanks for your comment.
Mr. Watkins, Thanks for your support and compliments!
Hmmm, props because it most likely is true for men but I have to disagree with the "get out of jail free" card. No matter why he chooses to use it or how he chooses to the fact is if he does use it you'll always have to think about the night he "cheated" and not be able to say a word because you gave him the permission to do it. I'm sure most women will say bail then, since he can't be too good if he actually takes advantage of the offer, but I mean, c'mon now... Men are men. Temptation is one thing to walk away from but when your wife basically tells you to go out there and have at it chances are they are going to jump on the oppurtunity.I think I like the other advice, just a little beef with that part.Otherwise great Hub! :-)
A bypassed this hub for a few days, thinking, "What? What kind of insane person calls a hub that...and it's not true, either." Obviously I missed the slant.
After reading this, I only have one thought:
My husband would make a show of trashing a "Get Out of Jail Free" card...then we'd act like newly married people.
You're right - this attitude works.
Good job.
Oh my gosh, I was laughing about the "having dinner ready" part, but when it got to "your cleaning schedule should be..." I was floored.
What is this, the 1950's? What about HIS cleaning schedule? I'm a (female) doctor, and my husband is a stay at home mechanic, and I should be the one cleaning? I work 24 hour shifts! I'm supposed to stop saving lives and come home every day to clean? And have dinner ready? While he does nothing?
Get with the times already!
And no, I won't be checking back for troll like comments that disagree.
A simple and a very nice hub, fantastic
so sexy couple
Some commenters make me laugh in disgust but I rarely ever return a comment. In the great world of the internet you can make claims of having a great profession, excellent education or be a self-proclaimed expert on a subject one only pondered a few hours ago and "googled" to satisfy a goolge trend. My one point of advice to those few nay-sayers-- If your speech does not show at least an 8th grade education, you should not expect others to believe you've received a Masters or Doctorate degree. Additionally, if your "expertise" only rounds a rudimentary speck of a topic, you should be wary of calling yourself an expert.
I would like to explain that I am a 27 year old female who's been married for 4 years and lives in Chicago. This may dispel any thoughts that this article is an old-fashioned method of keeping a marriage happy. In my opinion, the divorce rate in the US has gone to insane proportions. Marriages do not work only on the "I Do" and "because we are married" anymore... they used to because it was shameful to divorce. Now, folks are getting married up to 4 times in their adult life...that's ridiculous! The excuse "I made a mistake by marrying this person" is never valid. Do you make very many important promises that you go back on and say "I must have made a mistake?" I hope this article will put marriage into perspective for modern wives and overtake the "We're married so I don't need to try as hard to keep my husband happy" thinking. Have a great day and a wonderful marriage!
I disagree.. give them a reason to NOT cheat. Don't nag, don't be up their butts, don't always care where they are or what they are doing. It's not about giving them the freedom to cheat it's about giving them freedom period. Let them be their own person and you be your own. Have open communication and respect each other. It's very simple people. Don't play games and don't have expectations. Relationships and maintaining them aren't as hard as people make it out to be and if it is hard to maintain it then maybe you are with the wrong mate.
WooHoo!! GO MODEL MOM!!
I love it, this is great! Of course some of the happiest married people I know actually have an open relationship - cheating is only cheating if you lie about it. If you need to lie to your partner about anything, there is already something fundamentally wrong in the relationship.
Ok maybe. The switcheroo logic is a tactic but why not try to make it so you really want to be with each other? Bringing someone else into your relationship is a recipe for disaster. I'm all for fun and friendship in a relationship and absence can create a new desire to be together again. If you're bored do something fun and exciting that you can share.
On the other hand, when you're alone, give her a flurtatious pinch(don't hurt her) and you let him do it with out having to duck. Have some good bad fun!Peace.
That's just CRAZY!!! Cheating isn't called "CHEATING" because it's the right thing to do! Cheating is wrong, right down to the last opinion... Do you cheat, also? So you both cheat on each other...? What a life! Have you ever thought about growing old with the ONE person you love? KNOWING that YOU are the ONLY one? (Obviously not) THAT is what marraige is... THAT is why people GET married! NOT so they can cheat on each other... That's just sick! I would give your "marraige" a TOTAL of five years the way it is, and you will find out what "MARRAIGE" is all about... If that's how you two live, all the power to ya, but I wouldn't want a thing to do with it... But that's me. I AM FAITHFUL. Do you know what that means?
Dear MD, You're so right I bow to your greatness! Thats just giving marriage a bad name and when people cite the problems with straight marriages this is exactly what their talking about. I just hope theres no children involved. Peace.
My point being...:Why do people get married? (So they can cheat on each other???) I doubt it...
Mama and Sneak. Buy adding details of your own perfect relationships would make a great addition to this article. ** To All Commenters: PLEASE read the article entirely, not just the headline, before "yelling" or getting "snippy" with your comments. I am a great believer in allowing everyone's voices to be heard but to be fair to the contents of this article AND my reputation as a writer, please do not only read the headline, a couple comments and THINK that you have read the article. This article is NOT about cheating on your spouse it is the quite the opposite, actually. Read it again.
Too many STD also, now who will want to contract that,the wives,
Great article, my wife thinks like you and I love her more because of it.
Andromeda10, Great article; I fear you provided too much of a liberal analogy for your women cohorts... They missed the without trust you don't have a good relationship widget... The women dominance in conjunction with the fatale syndrome have overpowered your strategy...

loua. You said it! Thank you!
huh? Is this true??? I doubt.
The decision to be in a comitted relationship is reached by 2 mature adults, each with their own lives and schedules, deciding on joining together to build one common life. I find people forget, or expect a change with marriage that the lives they lead before must end and only ONE life should exist afterwards. This is wrong. This article provides tips, blunt perhaps, but good. What we should all take away from this is how living separate lives is just as important to nurture as the combined life you have with your partner. Being life-magnets will eventually make one turn against the other and we all know the effects of that.

Great article. I like everything but the 'get out of jail free' card, but only because I know my husband would not appreciate it. He would take it as a sign that I don't trust him.
As to those cheaters -- most I've met have/had wives that were unresponsive. They didn't want to make love to their man, and where unconcerned about the children. Men want a responsible, responsive woman.
