Be Honorable and Tell Your Wife When You Cheat

Columns in the New York Times style section do get your attention. I’ll give them that. Like the one last November, written by a professor who justified her role as a homewrecker seducing a married man – titled “An Optimist Guide to Divorce.” I disagreed with her assessment.

Then there was the style column last week that begins:

“I’m not sure it’s possible to justify my liaisons with married men …”

Well, then. At least, there’s a hint of honesty – dare we say a rise in conscience? – that adultery might be wrong. The problem is that the writer is not sure. The author of “What Sleeping With Married Men Taught Me About Infidelity” is no professor. She is Karin Jones, identified as a columnist for Erotic Review Magazine. With such credentials, I’m not expecting prudence.

Jones’s point, however, is not that she is doing anything wrong. She chastises her partners in adultery for not being truthful with their wives about the cheating.

She has completely removed sex from any sense of love and commitment. In other words, she’s just another traveler on this sexual revolution that is headed to nowhere … nowhere but hurt.
