    Why Women Cheat the Day After Mother's Day

    Most of us have never associated Mother's Day with unfaithful women, but there appears to be a connection - especially if men don't remember their women on that sentimental holiday.

    According to the New York Post, the day following Mother's Day is the second most popular day women start cheating-or at least looking to cheat. The number one day, as if you hadn't guessed, is Valentine's Day.

    Women who stray aren't necessarily looking for sensational sex. They just want to be appreciated. The Post quoted Marie, 52, a woman from New Jersey who went on the prowl after her husband failed to give her anything for Mother's Day. Even her kids gave her cards, and we know how reluctant kids are to buy cards.

    Can You Inherit Your Mother's Health?

    "I'm not asking for roses and being showered with gifts," Marie told the newspaper. "But how about bringing me a cup of coffee? You'd at least like your husband to acknowledge that you're the mother of his children."

    That was when Marie hit the online dating sites - especially one for unfulfilled married women looking for a good time. She didn't have too much trouble finding one, and now she's having an affair with a man she calls "my lover."

    And there are statistics to back up Marie's experience: A massive married-dating website called Ashley Madison said that it set a record the day after Mother's Day 2010. A total of 31,427 women signed up. That's a lot of angry, unfulfilled women.

    Mother's Day Can Be Sad Too

    The lesson here: Give moms something on Mother's Day - whether it's flowers, jewelry, chocolates or an expensive card. (However, flowers, jewelry and chocolates are better. Especially jewelry.)

    And women can learn something, too: Ask for what you want. Many women don't, thinking it's unromantic and that their guy should "just know" what they want. Well, most of them don't. So speak up. If you get a fabulous pair of diamond stud earrings, who cares that you asked for them?

    For the lucky women whose men do remember Mother's Day, return the favor by giving him something nice on Father's Day.

      As far as cheating goes, I'm totally against it! With that said, I never ASK for anything on mother's day but my husband does always get me something or take me somewhere. He just loves me I guess. I do the same for him on father's day. We have a great relationship, though, where we like to spoil each other, so it all balances out. Do I think that a man should buy something for his wife on mothers day? I think it's up to them but if all it would take to make your woman happy is chocolate or a silly card, why wouldn't you do that just for the heck of it? I mean come on....BOTH are less than 5 bucks! You don't HAVE to but you should WANT to make that person happy as much as possible! If you do that, you deserve to get the same in return. If not, the relationship is doomed!

      MY wife has NEVER cheated and never will! (unlike my first wife,who i don't even count !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      If you don't get her anything, at least don't get stinking drunk and pick a huge fight with her that gets so loud your neighbors call the cops. That was my 'gift' last year- and I managed to stay faithful. Don't be a slattern. It's a recipe for heartbreak. You're only punishing yourself.

      It's it better to go out, get your hair, nails, and toes done, put on the best outfit you can, and look the best you have in years - and prance around in all of it on fathers day, and "Conveniently" forget about him on that day :-)

      Will she tell him if she is pregnant with someones else baby? No
    • Kym  •  1 year 0 months ago
      I have never understood why women expect their husbands to get them gifts for Mother's Day...newsflash....your his wife NOT his mother. He should do something for his mother, you should do something for yours and your kids should do something for you. Why would you expect a man to get your a Mother's Day gift if you are not his mother? That is ridiculous! How self righteous are you?????

      These women should all grow-up!!!!....

      get real! mother's day is not a day for a husband to buy gifts for his wife unless there is some serious incest going on. she is not his mother so where is the logic in expecting a gift from him on mother's day? wives already have valentine's day and sweetest day for getting gifts. this is just stupid.
    • Allen  •  1 year 0 months ago
      This goes to show that women don't want husbands, they want hostages. Why on earth would a man get married in today's world? So you can get cheated on, lose your kids, lose your house and then end up living in the "Now Renting" apartments next to the freeway exit? No thanks. I'll just date around. Men lose all of their power when they sign that contract.

      It's not an excuse, just a statistic with advice on how to prevent that from happening. The number one reason for why either gender cheats is because they don't feel appreciated or wanted.

      So women cheat more today than usual..hmmm...I may be spending some extra time on the internet today.... ;p

    • David  •  1 year 0 months ago
      point blank-----CHEATING ON YOUR MATE IS WRONG! You made a promise at the alter before God that you would be faithful till death do you part. Its that simple. You joined as one to take on the world together, to have each others back NO MATTER what.

      i luv reading shine post,s,31,000 women signed up,that,s alot i know most husband,s are douchebag,s don,t have clue how to please a woman,
    • KS  •  1 year 0 months ago
      this is pathetic. do any of you really think one day suddenly made a previously faithful spouse cheat? the whole relationship was likely a mess and you found a few people who'd had the camel's back broken by this straw. a lot of adorably barely coherent hating on women in the comments, too. i can feel myself getting dumber by reading this site.
    • Myopiniontruth samething  •  1 year 0 months ago
      Unless you were married when you conceived and gave birth, Or you are a rape victim. You dont deserve to be celebrated on Mother's day
    • TERRY J  •  1 year 0 months ago
      ahhh the ashleymadison.com website. yeah its nice. right up there with the getherpes.com and iwantaids.com websites. trust me i would be disappointed if my wife didnt get me a christmas present or a fathers day gift, but that wouldnt make me want to cheat. now if she told me that the reason she didnt get me anything was because she didnt love me anymore then i still wouldnt cheat,but i would probably see an attorney and start divorce proceedings, but cheat????? no!

        I swear I meant thumbs UP! this post got me laughing! I agree with everything you said! :)
    • paris230425  •  1 year 0 months ago
      I agree with most of these comments; for the few of you who think these women are justified, and this was the "straw that broke the camels back" in the relationship, then LEAVE the relationship. You don't cheat, you LEAVE and find someone that will give you what you think you want and need. When did cheating ever become ok? It HASN'T. I guess for people with no scruples or morals it has....bleh.

      Last time I checked the father of my son was not my child. He shouldn't be expected to buy/give me anything for MOTHER'S Day. The only time I can say he should be is when the child is too young to do it alone. But even then the child should be the main one honoring Mom.
      • leila 10 days ago
        that doesn't mean that it would be wrong if he did buy you something. I think these statistics are based on women who are already unappreciated and instead of divorcing the guy that she isn't happy with, she cheats on him. It's one thing to not be acknowledged all year then they expect to be acknowledged for atleast giving him children and he doesn't do that. so in their screwed up head they justify it. crazy....

      At what point in history will men (and women) start calling things what they are? "I'm going to find some stranger to F@@@, blame someone else, continue to do it, and still be the victim."

      Good job, Guys, of giving away manhood in less than 20 years. WTH has happened to men condemning BS?
