People are always fascinated by infidelity because, in the end - whether we've had direct experience or not - there's part of you that knows there's absolutely no more piercing betrayal. People are undone by it.

Many women, sometime in their life, are going to get to a point where they have to admit infidelity.

Infidelity raises profound questions about intimacy.

Infidelity is horrible - there's nothing worse than that; it's devastating.

I am not going to speculate about the emotions that might be involved in avian infidelity.

I do think that with any kind of infidelity, on some level - unless you're dealing with a sociopath - there's always a reason.

I find infidelity interesting because it's so revelatory about people. It's this really silent thing. Everyone acknowledges it as a general practice, but nobody likes to go beyond that, to get down to the nitty-gritty.

Love is understood, in a historical way, as one of the great human vocations - but its counterspell has always been infidelity. This terrible, terrible betrayal that can tear apart not only another person, not only oneself, but whole families.

People can be a bit flagrant when they're having an affair. Most of the time, there's an element of it where they want to be discovered because they're in crisis. They need the boil to be burst, in some way, for a resolution.

Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.
