Bed-hopping takes time, doesn't it?
The new governor of New York -- the guy who took over for Eliot Spitzer -- has admitted that he had an affair with another woman when his now-solid marriage was going through a rough patch. The couple has since worked it out.
If recent news is any indication, lots of people, especially those in public office, are bed-hopping. I can't figure it out: Where do they find the time to lead this secret life? When do they work? How do they meet the demands of family and another relationship?
I think it's hard enough balancing work and family. Add a romantic second to the mix -- yikes!

Marriage is not easy. It is one tough gig, as they say.
I have seen what happens when married people try to feed their egos by having affairs. It is NEVER a good idea.
First of all, the affair is not a good gauge of your worth. The lover will say whatever you want to hear -- not a realistic relationship. You cannot compare that to the hard work of keeping a family fed and happy.
So, the lover always appeals to people who want to "escape" -- only to make matters more difficult in real life.
Marriage is work (sometimes fun work - but work nonetheless). If it isn't working out, then cut your losses and divorce. THEN you can go out and meet all kinds of new honeys.
I am betting that they won't be as appealing when you take away the "forbidden apple" tint.
All these men in power that have sexual scandals tied to their names is because their power has gone to their heads and they feel like they are ABOVE the normal rules that apply to the rest of us.
They are fools. We are all laughing at them -- there is no fool like an OLD fool, to boot.
Too much work for me.
You missed the most important point entirely.
It is a question of integrity and honesty. It is about loyalty and commitment. When you marry - it is supposed to exclude all others.
Marriage is difficult - all relationships require work. But, when you complicate things even further by bringing a 3rd party into the equation, you run the risk of losing the focus and commmitment to the original relationship.
It's easy to jump into bed with others - but it is also very irresponsible and imature.
This is my opinion.
