Is it fair to have his love while another woman wears the ring? Ask yourself: If he is the type of man who cheats, is he the right man for you?
Why do some women flirt with everyone—even men they don't like? Our writer explains: "It all started when I was an awkward, mercilessly ugly 12-year-old. And then I discovered what would drastically alter the direction of my life: a stack of Playboys in my step-grandfather's closet. I could master the art of the smoldering stare.

Rielle Hunter denies she ended John Edwards' marriage. Do homewreckers get unfair blame for affairs? "Well, his relationship with her and the problems in it really had nothing to do with me," Rielle Hunter said. "Infidelity doesn't happen in healthy marriages.

Liz Tuccillo tries to grasp the Italian mother fascination among Italian men.
One of the classic complaints women have about men is the never-subtle wandering eye.
