Why Powerful Men (Like Arnold) Cheat

The former California governor recently split with his wife and admitted to fathering a child with a member of the household staff. Another day, another political sex scandal. This time, it's former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledging this week that he fathered a child with a member of his household staff more than a decade ago.
And while psychologists and the public alike may not be surprised, we still wonder why he strayed. Experts say power gives men (and women) greater opportunity to stray and the overconfidence to think they'll get away with it.
Political sex scandals happen regularly and across the political spectrum, from former Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards fathering a child with a former campaign worker to Republican governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford disappearing to "walk the Appalachian trail" with a woman he'd fallen for in Argentina. Cheating certainly happens among the nonpolitical as well, but research suggests that with power comes the temptation to stray — and many powerful men assume they'll get away with it.

Awww, this is just the worst that can happen to any couple of any standard, yeah, I know no one is perfect but this is too much of a HUGE imperfection for any married woman to handle, common, let's be honest about this people! Sources even confirm this to be a major scandal due to the fact that our dear Mr Arnold fathered this child for over a decade, can you just imagine?!!!!
     May this not find its way to our doors, be you married or single. Did i hear you say amen? We as humans should try and abstain from things that will make our loved ones unhappy, that way, the world is gonna be a much better place to be.
