Not sure how one sleeps if this is true.
Well, that's one way to solve your problems!

McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company been working here one year and received pretty positive feedback. Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done? Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

Prefer my spouse to cheat on me today than tomorrow, so I can start searching for someone worth it, instead of having three children, a suv and a cheating spouse when I’m 55.
Fail fast!
Perfect use of agile lol
If you have a shitty spouse, yeah.
I think because WE are the ones doing all the traveling, it’s more likely that the consultants are the ones cheating on their spouses
That is what I have seen
I think if someone wants to cheat, they will find a way regardless. My sister never travelled and neither did her husband - but he met someone thru work and had an ongoing affair. Traveling may make it harder to “catch on” but I am not sure it is more likely to make someone cheat in the first place
Your wife says no. No time to type more
Good to see partners don’t automatically lose their sense of humor 😉
Probably a bit higher than the norm but I have no evidence to back that claim
I think traveling can exacerbate an underlying situation and make it logistically easier to cheat. Out of sight, out of mind probably also lessens any guilty feelings. But that being said, I don't think anyone cheats solely or even primarily because their partner is traveling.
Agreed SC1. Saw an old post about married consultants hooking up on a long term travel project - so sad.
Depends on the person and their values. A spouse being away shouldn’t be an excuse to cheat. I think you have to be careful with your spouse selection - pick them like you’re preparing for war 😁
Yea that’s the hard part.... how do you know for sure if someone is a “cheater material” or not
If someone wants to cheat, they will cheat no matter the circumstances .
Cheaters are cheaters. Nothing you do will change that about them. If they cheat on you because they can't go 3-4 night without someone screwing them, they aren't cut out for a monogamous marriage.
Distance makes the heart go wander
Hmmm good question. I think if you have relationship issues, there's a chance it will happen regardless. Although, the travel makes it easier for spouses to be promiscuous. Also, are guys more inclined to cheat than girls? I think so.
SO could have both your money and their fun tho.
It definitely is, it’s easier nowadays with the apps. People who think otherwise prefer to live in ignorance lol... cheating is common when you’re living with the person, so..
Hmmmm. I can’t help but think about this post and its logic when I look at a pilot next;)
Curious about this too!
A garage is always meant for car parking ! ...... said a wise man once . You can park in the garage or outside that is the drivers desire .
Wonder what the wise man did;)
If you’re married and are thinking this, you have to deal with your own insecurities. That’s the one that will kill your marriage faster than anything.
