When guests are invited to a celebration, it is the host's responsibility to treat them unless it is understood when the invitation is issued that everyone will be expected to pay for the meal. The next time this person invites you somewhere, make sure to ask whether you will be splitting the bill. That way there will be no surprises.

The Real Cause of Infidelity

First, here's something many people (even some therapists) don't know and is counterintuitive: not everyone who has an affair believes his or her marriage is unhappy. In fact, data suggest that many cheating spouses report that their marriages are good, and that leaving their spouse was never a consideration. There are many other reasons people decide to have an affair besides unhappiness with their partner.

It's completely understandable that you'd want to confront your wife for cheating, but I'm going to encourage you to be practical here. You have the ability to set the tone. If you weren't really bothered by it, or if the turn-on majorly outweighed your bother, it may not be useful to stage a full-on confrontation. A more effective route could be for you to just say that you know what's up-you saw it with your own eyes-and it really turned you on.

How to spot a CHEATER: Scientists pinpoint 4 red flags

In their study, the team surveyed 280 people about their relationships, and whether they had any intentions of infidelity. The results revealed that people were more likely to cheat if they had a history of cheating on a prior romantic partner. Their chances of an affair were also higher if one of their parents had had one in the past. What's more, high levels of attachment avoidance and low levels of perceived emotional and sexual intimacy were red flags for cheating.
