Mothers Can Be Affected by Infidelity in 3 Ways

For Mother’s Day, an infidelity expert looks at 3 ways mothers (and their children) can be affected by infidelity.

(PRWEB) May 12, 2006 -- “It’s a sobering thought for Mother’s Day, but infidelity can affect a mother in 3 ways,” says infidelity expert Ruth Houston, author of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs and founder of www.InfidelityAdvice.com . According to Houston, infidelity can affect mothers psychologically, physically and financially.

Psychologically

“If a woman’s husband is cheating on her, it can lead to psychological issues which can negatively impact the way she interacts with her children”, says infidelity expert, Ruth Houston. “It’s difficult for a woman to be a good mother when she’s trying to work through the issues of her husband’s affair. A mother can become so emotionally distraught that she’s unable to give her children the care and attention they need.” Houston warns that infidelity in a marriage can also cause psychological problems in children. Depending on the age of the child, these problems may manifest themselves as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, problems in school, drug or alcohol use, promiscuity – problems with which a mother will have to cope.

Physically

A man having an affair, who engages in unprotected sex, puts the mother of his children at risk for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea. “If a mother’s health deteriorates,” says Houston. “ she will be unable to care for her children. If she’s pregnant, STD’s can jeopardize the health of her unborn child. Some STD’s, like chlamydia can even affect a woman’s ability to become a mother, by rendering her incapable of having children.”

Financially

If infidelity leads to separation or divorce, it could affect a mother’s ability to financially provide for her child – especially if her husband refuses to meet his financial obligations. Says Houston, “Without the father’s income, a mother may be unable to support her children in the manner to which she has been accustomed. This may necessitate working outside the home, or taking second job, which will limit the amount of time she can spend with her children. An unexpected divorce or separation can put an unsuspecting wife and mother in a serious financial bind when it comes to living arrangements, health care, and the children’s education.

Don’t Be the Last to Know

“Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to infidelity and extramarital affairs. As a mother, if your husband is cheating, you can’t afford to be the last to know. For the sake of your children, you need to find out before it’s too late,” urges Houston, whose book, Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs, lists practically every known sign of infidelity, including the subtle signs women usually overlook. “Do yourself a favor for Mother’s Day and familiarize yourself with the signs of infidelity, so you’ll never be caught by surprise.” To receive a free tip sheet which describes the 21 categories of infidelity signs, send an e-mail to InfidelityInfo@gmail.com (InfidelityInfo at gmail.com)with “21 categories” in the subject line.
