Why Politicians Cheat and What Their Wives Can Do

As an infidelity expert, I’m often called on by the media to comment on infidelity issues in the news. The Spitzer sex scandal has resulted in the busiest week I’ve had for a while. I’ve done dozens of interviews with newspapers, large and small (USA Today, New York Daily News, Pittsburgh Post Gazette – just to name a few,) and 3 TV appearances (The Today Show, twice; and the Morning Show with Mike and Juliet)

Why Do Politicians and Other Men Cheat?

One of the main things I’ve been asked to comment on in almost every interview is some variation of why men cheat, or why politicians cheat on their wives.

Below, in a nutshell, is my viewpoint on some of the reasons why politicians, public figures, and other prominent, or rich and powerful men cheat on their wives.

Why Politicians Cheat

Why do politicians cheat? The reasons are complex and varied. In fact, there are probably as many reasons as there are politicians out there cheating. The reasons listed below are just a few.

A Sense of Entitlement

Many politicians and public figures feel they can do whatever they want because of who they are. They consider themselves exempt from the rules that apply to the rest of

The Thrill of the Chase

Many cheating men enjoy the subterfuge, the lying, the scheming associated with having an affair. Cheating politicians are no different. Cheating gives them the kind of adrenaline rush they’d get from participating in a high risk sport.

Ego-Embellishment Reasons

Having an extramarital affair can feed the already inflated ego that many politicians have. They can mentally congratulate themselves for being cunning enough to keep everyone around them in the dark about what they’re doing behind closed doors.

Viewing Infidelity as a Status Symbol

To many politicians and public figures, a mistress or high-priced call girl is a status symbol. Being able to afford one is seen as the ultimate mark of success.

The Excitement of Doing Something Forbidden

Just like ordinary men, some cheating politicians engage in infidelity or extramarital affairs solely for the excitement of doing something that’s forbidden.

The Knowledge that They Can Get Away With It

The main reason many politicians cheat on their wives and have extramarital affairs is because they are confident that they can get away with it. And countless numbers of them do. We only hear about the ones who get caught.

What Can the Wife of a Cheating Politician Do?

Is there anything the wife of a cheating politician can do to spot his infidelity before the whole world finds out about his extramarital affair? Yes! No matter how carefully a cheating politician tries to cover his tracks, there will ALWAYS be telltale signs. Knowing what to look for is the key. No cheater, regardless of how careful or how cunning he may be, can cover up every single sign of infidelity. But since most of the signs of infidelity are subtle, I can’t stress strongly enough that knowing what to look for is the key.

Learn How to Spot the Subtle Signs

Every politician’s wife should familiarize herself with the subtle signs of impending infidelity so she can stop a budding affair before it starts. She should also know how to spot infidelity already in progress before it gets out of hand or reaches the point of no return.

It covers practically every known sign of infidelity, including the subtle signs women usually overlook.
