Guys get a bad wrap. Men are thought of as cheaters. One blogger threw out a statistic that 3 out of 4 men in a committed relationship are unfaithful. It seems a bit high, and I wonder where the research came from
Without diving head first into detailed research on infidelity, I think it's safe to say that infidelity has become more commonplace. That doesn't make it right, only more widespread. With men being the blamed sex, women's infidelity often gets overlooked. Men who suspect infidelity shouldn't write it off.
An AskMen.com article lists 10 signs she's cheating on you. The top 10 list includes her having a secretive friend, hiding her schedule, and making an extra effort to look attractive. The author of the article, Eric Heston, goes on to say that guys shouldn't fool themselves into thinking a woman would never cheat, nor should they jump to conclusions that she is. If you notice one or more of Heston's top 10 I've got a way for you to get proof.
DNA technology has allowed laboratories to offer infidelity testing. This test involves screening a suspicious article of clothing or other fabric (bedsheets, towel, etc.) to determine if semen is present. Once found, the lab can extract DNA from the sample, producing a DNA profile. Just like a profile for a paternity test or CODIS database, results will show a full 16 genetic marker report. From there, you can compare the profile to your own DNA. If the semen isn't yours, then you've confirmed your suspicions.
The crucial part of this is the stain. You can attempt to extract DNA from anything, but unless there's a noticeable stain the odds of obtaining a profile are small. When a stain is present DNA can almost always be extracted.
Is there a more effective method of proving infidelity? Well, you could always call Cheaters and catch it on video tape.
