After 70 percent, however, men become increasingly more likely to stray."<br /><br />So at least that puts some context on the claim. Maybe the answer is the wife can make as much as she likes, but she should keep extra income, in excess of 30% of her husband's, in a secret bank account? Of course that's tricky at tax-time unless they file separately, but there must be a way to maintain the golden ratio of fidelity.<br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-74918390699358777672015-06-01T15:03:58.567-07:002015-06-01T15:03:58.567-07:00This looks like one of those "heads I win, ta...This looks like one of those "heads I win, tails you lose" logical distractions.<br /><br />1. The men who are most likely to cheat are those whose wives are breadwinners.<br />2. Women breadwinners are the least likely to cheat.<br /><br />My vast pattern matching skills read this as "Breadwinners, male or female, are least likely to cheat." while "The partner of Breadwinners, male or female are most likely to cheat."<br /><br />So if you're a man you maybe you feel your masculinity diminished being a "homemaker" or "community organizer" as the case may be, but apparently women also feel their femininity diminished as well.<br /><br />So maybe the moral of the story is to become a "power couple" where both husband and wife work in high careers and earn close to 50%, and hire out a maid and cook and nanny and all those demeaning tasks that encourage people's sense of excitement to cause them to be bored and stray. And then everyone will be too tired to stray, and they'll live happily ever after.<br /><br />The End.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
