re: Cheating is pretty much the new norm

Women have more rights now. That's the simple answer. As recent as 100 years ago women weren't allowed to do anything. The same amount of women back then hated their husbands as they do now. Difference is they can do something about it. We're really only 3-4 generations from women essentially still being "owned" by their husband and as each has come they've gotten a bit more independent. That along with ease of communication through technology is the main reason.
