If you’re one of the many psychologists churning out relationships books today, you’ll want to steer clear of marriage maestro Tim Kellis.

Kellis, an author himself and a radio talk show host, might just tell you where to get off. He feels strongly that too many psychologists are clueless about helping couples stay married. In fact, he believes they’re contributing to the divorce debacle.

Our culture of divorce is spiraling out of control like the price of fuel at the pump, he laments. A whole divorce industry has sprung up
cheering couples on to disengage and go teir separate merry ways, but divorce is far from a “happy ending.”

Unfortunately you have a bad feeling that your spouse maybe cheating on you. There’s just one problem. You have no evidence.

Yes your instincts are telling you something is wrong but there is nothing really to back it up. All the physical signs of an extramarital affair that you’ve read and heard about don’t exist. There has been no change in the marriage relationship. Anything that seems out of place has been easily explained. Sometimes before you can even confront your spouse, you provide the answer to your own concerns in such detail that you feel it would be ludicrous to go any further.

Maybe it’s just an overactive imagination.

The morning after François Mitterrand’s funeral, a photo showed the late president’s mistress and illegitimate daughter standing by his grave alongside his wife and sons. That tableau has become famous internationally as proof that the French are uniquely tolerant of extramarital affairs.

In fact, although French presidents seem to have an infidelity record approaching 100 per cent, ordinary Frenchmen claim to be quite faithful. In a 2004 national survey, just 3.8 per cent of married men and 2 per cent of women said they had had more than one sex partner in the past year (the best approximation of infidelity) — fewer than in similar surveys in the U.S. and the U.K.
