It seems like everyone's cheating...

Get this, a new study shows more than 54% of Americans know someone who has an unfaithful spouse. I saw this on momstampabay.com last night. That's up from 24% in 1964!

Then a little while later last night, I was watching the season finale of "Lipstick Jungle." Nico, one of the main characters, has been having an afair with a sexy, younger man. Wendy, her best friend and power movie exec, has been very clear she won't tolerate her friend's cheating.

Well in the finale, Nico is off having sex with her boy toy when her husband has a heart attack. He calls her repeatedly, the hospital calls her repeatedly. After ignoring the phone a few times ,she answers it and takes off to the hospital.

Now, this where it gets interesting. As she feels guilty and realizes she wants her marriage back a young woman shows up at the hospital to see her husband. That woman is one of her Charles' college students. And she's clearly more upset than a student would be about her professor. Nico finds a note the woman's written to Charles saying she misses him.

So Nico decides she wants her marriage back and ends the affair. So if both spouses were cheating does that cancel it out? Now that he's had a near death experience, can they both get out without anyone gettting hurt? Now this isn't an altogether new theme for a Candace Bushnell inspired TV show.

Remember in "Sex and the City" when Carrie is cheating on Aiden with Big? Carrie deludes herself into thinking she can quit the affair without anyone getting hurt. But then Natasha catches her in their apartment, falls down the stairs and chips a tooth.

I know these are both just TV shows, but I honestly think people having affairs think they can end them without anyone being the wiser. And maybe they can. But in most cases, it ends badly. Of if they get away with it, how do they live with the guilt?

I want to hear what you think. Have you caught your spouse cheating? Or have you been the one cheating? How did you end it? E-mail me at miss.attitude7@gmail.com.
