In the world of Serendipity, I met Dr. Ruth at Yale Commencement. She gave me a quote for my Infidelity Op-ed, “Married but Cheating.”
Meeting Dr. Ruth is a wonderful story of two Yale college associate fellows (I’m from Ezra Stiles) and she was across the path (from Calhoun). Our meeting and talking led to a serenade by Sir Paul McCartney. Thank you Dean Stephen Lassonde for introducing two woman who believe in “good loving.”
Here is a link to the op-ed in today’s Providence Journal. The newspaper version read as follows:
Married but Cheating
Ask Dr. Ruth: Infidelity on the Rise
WHEN I WONDERED aloud, “Is infidelity a sin whose time has come?” my colleague retorted, “It never left!” Indeed, the string of politicians, sports figures and movie stars cheating on their wives is an endless parade of mea culpas.
“Why do men cheat?” I asked Dr. Ruth Westheimer, psychosexual therapist, as faculty and fellows gathered for the Yale commencement this year. Her voice escalated. “It’s not only men! And put an exclamation point there. I have nothing more to say.” Married but Cheating
Thank you, Dr. Ruth. And thank you to all who gave me quotes and interviews.
