A man was asked, "Why do you cheat on your wife?" His answer was, "Because I can." Another man was asked, "Who do you cheat with?" His answer was, "Whoever sits in my lap." Does He Cheat? is a nonfictional book that takes a peek behind the curtain of lies men tell and women choose to ignore. Hundreds of men were asked, "If your girlfriend or wife paid the least amount of attention to a sign that you are cheating, what would that sign be?" When the men were promised total anonymity, they began to regale us with shocking answers to this question. These men lift the veil and shine a flashlight on the signs their wives, partners, and girlfriends continue to ignore If you are a woman who wants to stop ignoring the signs your man is showing that say something might be amiss in your relationship, read Does He Cheat?
The authors preface the book by noting that the listed 50 signs of “cheating” come from interviews with men from different cultures, races, and economic backgrounds. Women (and men readers) are encouraged to analyze their relationships to discover whether their partner is using any of these cheating tricks. Many of the scenarios also include suggestions for the suspicious partner to use as a test or a remedy. If your hubby enjoys golfing for hours on the week-end, plan to go with him and pick up the game too...or drive the cart. Is there an unexplained receipt or a gift hidden away in a drawer or closet? Ask what it’s for. Does he leave the house in a blue shirt...and come home in a green one?
It’s eye-opening and repulsive to realize there are so many ways to sneak away from working on a good relationship and vows of fidelity. The heartbreak of having a lying partner will hurt, but even worse is the chance that you could be infected with an STD by your cheating partner. Divorced “Grayson” chivalrously states that he waited three days after “cheating-sex” to try to be sure he wouldn’t pass on a disease to his wife.
Women may want to read this handbook to consider the strength of their relationships...or to be reminded that they should be grateful for their wonderful husbands! After gaping at the duplicity of these dishonest men, the reader will be amazed that anyone (wife or cheating woman) would be interested in these duds.
We've all been there, and this book just helps us face the truth. I picked up a copy of "He's Just Not That Into You" when the craze was happening, and I think the same thing will happen with this book. Now don't let that confuse you -- this is in no way a lighthearted funny book. The similarity is that they are both very blunt. "Doe He Cheat" offers some really good pointers on what to look out for, even if you think you need to or not!
When Sterling and Stephanie gave me a copy of this book I wondered what I would find between the covers (pun intended:-)
I have a feeling this is a book I'll be passing along to friends who get that wrinkle in their brow when we sit down for a glass of wine. It's a really good book to take the pulse of your relationship.
I recommend this to anybody who isn't sleeping well at night wondering what is going on with their significant other.
I love when people cater to my feelings when I'm droning on about how another man 'done me wrong,' but sometimes I just want the HONEST TRUTH so that I can stop wasting time when it comes to relationships. Does He Cheat? totally delivers that sobering slap in the face (and with a sense of humor, I might add). Ladies, we all need to stop making excuses and just recognize things for exactly what they are --- this book delivers exactly that.
Well, as a wife, I found this book pretty scaring because I was not aware that cheating was something that many people do so light-heartily, and this was probably so upsetting that I cannot stop thinking about the stories in this book. Anyway I do not want to become paranoid so I'll probably go to read some good romance book, just to compensate ;)
