You thought your relationship with your partner was perfect. Happily ever after wasn't just a dream, it was your reality. Then, suddenly, you learn your man has been cheating on you. You wonder: Is there any way our relationship can be salvaged?

In this video, counselor, relationship coach and YourTango Expert Dr. Tammy Nelson answers the question: Can a relationship really survive an affair? The answer, she says is both "yes" and "no," explaining that, in certain instances, an affair works as the non-verbal catalyst to end a relationship that one (or both) partners would like to end for good.

What's worse than getting caught up in your own personal drama? Getting caught up in somebody else's personal drama.

So, what would you do if a close confidante confided in you that she was cheating on her husband? As her friend, you might feel obliged to keep it a secret. After all, she implicitly asked you not to tell a soul. Eventually, however, you might be overcome by guilt and wonder whether you should tell her spouse about her infidelity.

In this video, marriage educator and YourTango Expert John Gray, Ph.D. explains that although this situation can be tricky, whether or not you should divulge the information all depends on the strength of your relationships, both with your friend and with her spouse. Dr. Gray emphasizes the delicacy of this situation, adding, "We shouldn't go around telling everyone everything we know. There's something called confidentiality." Read More: Why Do Men Get Married?

A new study reveals that many cheaters get drunk and then have condom-less sex. Yikes!Much like a serious illness, cheating is often betrayed by unsightly symptoms. Common ailments include: Shifty eyes, lipstick on the collar, the scent of another woman's (or man's) musk and, of course, STDs.

Yes, I just said STDs.

A new study revealed that unfaithful people are less likely to use condoms. Even worse, the lack of love glove often stemmed from the influence of drugs and alcohol, according to the findings from the University of Michigan study.

So, not only are people cheating on their partners, but they're doing it without regard for their sexual health. Ultimately, this puts their primary partner - you know, the one they're supposed to be faithful to - in jeopardy, especially if the condom-less sex continues in the "monogamous" bedroom.

Fact of the matter is, you shouldn't cheat. But no matter what you decide to do, use a condom.

Have you ever been cheated on?

Sure, it started casually, but it could lead to lasting love.Bring on summertime! It's time for cookouts, beach trips, swimming, volleyball, parties on the patio and much much more. For some singles, it's also time for a summer fling. With the heat of summer can easily come the heat of romance.

You might find yourself hooking up with some good looking man or woman and initially, you intend on keeping things light and commitment-free. Maybe you and this new person in your life end up going out, and you continue to hang out together and, at a certain point, you start to wonder: "Are we just having fun, or is this turning into something more?"

The tricky thing about a summer fling is that you might not be sure what exactly "this" is, and you might not even be clear about how you feel. You and your special someone may have said that neither of you were looking for a serious relationship. Maybe you met while on vacation so you're not even from the same city!

As casual as you've been about this "thing" you've got going on, in the back of your mind,

Make the most of the summer with these family-oriented activities!It's finally summer break! There's no more homework, no more teacher conferences and no more school carpools. The schedule is now relaxed and the school year pressure for both you and your kids is diminished. But, what exactly do you do with all that free time to avoid kid boredom and parental frustration? Here are seven fun activities to keep the body and brain exercised and having fun during the summer months:

1. Do housework together. Pick a "family" project that everyone can get excited about. Something in and/or around the house that can be fixed, organized, improved, expanded or minimized is a great project that everyone can get involved in. Having the family work towards a common goal can promote both bonding and a sense of responsibility and accomplishment.

Plant a garden, clean out the attic, re-do an area of the family room, create a "game room," paint the kids' rooms, put stencils up on the border of the kids' walls, etc. You get the picture.

The project doesn't have to be

'Fifty Shades of Grey' has given rise to the term mommy porn. Here's what's wrong with that.Mommy porn is a phrase that's been bandied about a lot lately-as we all know-because of the wild success of Fifty Shades of Grey.

But why the term when it's really just erotica? Is it because women's sexuality is still taboo and needs to be categorized? Is it because the idea of women enjoying something as "scandalous" as BDSM is so threatening that it needs to be termed "mommy porn" to diminish its potency?

In a society where sexually experienced women are "hos" but their male counterparts are "players," women are branded as sluts for wanting birth control or bitches because they're aggressive at work, the term "mommy porn" is just another way to demean female sexual desire.

Categorizing porn as something only mothers would find appealing is a subtle dig aimed at women who are expressing their sexual nature. One would think from all the media hoopla that mothers are sexually repressed bores who are suddenly finding themselves turned on again. Calling the book "mommy porn" is
