"The Faithful Wife" by Barbara L. Greenberg is a fascinating, satirical account of what the speaker would do if she were unfaithful to her husband. Upon the first reading of this poem, I thought the woman in this poem was saying that her husband was irreplaceable and because of that she would never be unfaithful. Also I thought that if she did betray him, she would choose someone totally different from him, which somehow wouldn't dishonor this great man. However, with repeated reading, my opinion changed. Greenberg did an incredible job of revealing the truth of the situation. She used verbal irony to explain how the wife in the poem is actually revealing the relationship

Television psychologists and pop culture self-help gurus tell us that marriage is hard work; marriage is compromise; marriage is a choice between being right, and being happy. All of these statements are true. What these experts don’t tell us, however, is that marriage is also about putting on blinders, or looking on the bright side, or one of a hundred other trite phrases to explain the art of self-deception. In marriage, there are times when we may find it necessary to look the other way from our spouse’s faults or indiscretions, in the interest of self-preservation. For if we examine these problems too closely, our darkest, most secret fears may come true. Therefore, it can seem easier to focus on the positive. In her poem “Surprise,” Jane Kenyon uses denial, selective perception, and fear of betrayal to illustrate the self-deception that can occur in marriage.

Everybody is familiar with the concept that cheating is wrong. However, the culture we live in today is becoming less black and white and showing all the different shades of grey. Cheating is becoming a situational topic. In some situations it is considered the right thing to do.

The idea of cheating to attain rewards is no new concept. Throughout history, people have performed actions that contradict their morals in order to advance in society. Leaders, parents, and even children have taken shortcuts that strike at their integrity. In recent times, cheating has become more prominent than ever before. The concepts of honesty, fairness, and morality are not enforced, therefore, deception, fraud, and dishonesty prevail in the shadows. In Cheating Culture, written by David Callahan, the author addresses the issue of lying, deceit, and trickery in today's world, while also recognizing a change in the near future is within the people's grasp.

Nadia’s ideas on topic four, were extremely interesting to me. She believed that you should always be faithful in a marriage or relationship, much like myself. However, after reading the chapter she had a slight change of heart, although, Nadia still held strong to her original intuition, she now believed that in some cases leaving a marriage or relationship is acceptable. In my opinion divorce is the best answer to an unhappy marriage, cheating or “moving on” as some people refer to it, is never an acceptable option unless one’s partner has given their consent to the ordeal. On the other hand, Nadia believes that if someone is no longer pleased with the life that is tied to marriage they have to face the consequences. Here is the point in which we fork off in different ideas on the matter, Perhaps it is due to my experiences in “facing the consequences” or just my understandings of how humans function, but facing the consequences is not always beneficial. For some, realizing later on that a decision has gone in a different direction than planned, it can be highly dangerous to their mental and physical health. Regardless, before making a rash attempt in fixing the miscalculation, such as a divorce, a fair and thorough effort should be

Often, the circumstances of a marriage can leave the people involved feeling empty and unloved. These feelings of hopelessness can lead people to make uncharacteristic choices. Adultery, even in a marriage without love, can have a dramatic effect on the people involved. For the adulterous partner, the feelings of guilt and anxiety can often lead to overwhelming confusion.

Cheating is defined in the dictionary as, to deceive by trickery; swindle, however the dictionary fails to tell you if it is right or wrong to cheat.
