“I’m going to be traveling a lot more for work.”
Even if your spouse hasn’t ever considered cheating before, a promotion at work that offers them many opportunities to travel could mean trouble in paradise. Unfortunately, disposable income combined with work travel make cheating convenient, and so it’s best to discuss this possibility before it even happens.
“Powerful people have many opportunities—with travel, higher income, etc.—to both be offered and conceal infidelity,” says neuroscientist Nicole Prause, Ph.D. “If your partner is taking a position that will increase their travel, it is worth talking about your expectations regarding sex.”
