Last year, the second biggest day for female sign-ups on AshleyMadison.com (the dating website for married people) was the day after Mother's Day.

Momlogic has exclusively learned that 31,427 women signed up for AshleyMadison.com this year -- which is over ten times the average number of women who typically sign up on any given Monday.

Women in America have been raised to believe they should be catered to, at work and at home. When they aren’t, when they are merely treated as equals, they feel insulted. Thanks to the NOW gang.

But, all of the Kay and Jared's ads said that he should love me and show me this by buying me expensive jewelry.

Then again, they also said he should have bought these same things at Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthday, and wedding anniversary. Lousy man. I'll teach him, I'll sign up online to date even bigger losers.

Here is the original article highlighting the phenomenon.

Essentially, the top 3 are the days after Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and New Year's. You could probably add birthdays and anniversaries to those, but they are spread out so it doesn't get the spike of the big three.

Essentially, husbands have 5 days of the year that their wives demand pampering and a planned big day, or there is a big drop in the relationship status. Mother's day is actually more problematic, because you as a dad have to get the kids away from mom to a place that has crafts (that you plan in advance) to make her something homemade that she will treasure.

Remember that old commercial for Longines watches

“It’s nice, but I was hoping for a Longines.”

To which everytime I saw it on TV, I’d yell at the TV, ‘YOU BITCH!’

Yep. I think jewelry store ads are responsible for more divorces than any other factor.

“It’s “Mothers Day”, not “Wives Day.””

True, but an adulterous mother is a crappy mother.

When you cheat, you cheat on your whole family. Not just your “lousy husband.”

“Women in America have been raised to believe they should be catered to, at work and at home.”

You are painting with too broad of a brush, there.

The American women I know, for the most part, are working very hard and always have been.

[Persevero]

I have not been pampered on ANY of those days (Valentines, New Years Day, Mother’s Day).

And I never strayed, anyway. Never even considered it.

[VAFreedom]

it’s catering to people who wants ‘no-strings’ attached relationship. unlike a regular dating site which you get mixed bags. that’s my guess.

[old and tired]

It’s “Mothers Day”, not “Wives Day.”

And where do you think kids learn to love, honor, and respect their mothers? From their fathers, you dolt!

In saner times, adultery was a shame of the highest order.

It's the Bill Clinton effect.

I’m single and my first dating rule is - NO married women!

I think you’re doing it wrong.

I’d like to believe that the vast majority of wives do not have the immature and ignorant perspective of a spoiled juvenile princess, and do not think, even remotely, along those incredibly selfish lines.

But many men seem to feel that it is a day only for their own mother.

Often that is just an excuse...

to ignore their wives...

the proof of the pudding is if they teach their children to honor and respect THEIR mothers...

Part of recognizing their wives as the mothers of their children is teaching the children...

The children will later do what they see Dad do...

What about your birthday ???

[MozarkDawg]

I don’t even expect some big, planned whatever for my birthday! Juvenile and selfish, that is an excellent way to put it, EyeGuy.

Whenever I make a comment like that, I exclude the Conservative women in this country, especially those found here. I would have thought the NOW gang comment would make that clear. I don’t use the /s icon or over-explain here, because I tend to give Freepers more credit than I do those outside this board.

I recently read that the fantasy most popular with a married man is to ‘do the wives best friend.’ A married woman’s most popular fantasy is a ‘man in uniform.’ What struck me is that a married man has a particular person in mind...with a name and face, whereas; a married woman really just has some vision of ‘escape and fantasy’ in her head.

This ‘hooking-up’ sounds great in theory but, ‘the morning after’ will absolutely pollute the soul. Surely, we all made huge mistakes with the wrong person back in high school or college and can relate. My advice, as some dude on this blog, is to 1) get a divorce if things are so bad. 2) Do something sexy and naughty with your husband...go to a pick-up bar and get feeling crazy with him or rent a video or 3) Buy batteries. same advice for you bored men....except the batteries part.

Whatever feeling you want and need is out there. You do not, however; need to wake up the next morning feeling like a whore who betrayed your family, your value systems, and most importantly, yourself.
