How many women out there whose spouses have cheated on them like being called enablers? [View all]

I venture to say that about 90% of married women spouses have cheated on them unless they belong to the LSD cult of polygamous marriages. And a fair number of women have cheated also.

None of the spouses I know like being referred to as enablers...even where this might be the case if they are in special arrangement marriages...then it's not "cheating."

And when Bill was in office, i knew plenty of women who would have loved the chance to sleep with Bill.
