Are you in an inter-facial marriage? Yes, you heard it right — “interfacial”, a term that I read from an article in the Time Magazine (July 2007). According to the author, you are in an “interfacial” marriage if your spouse is not within your level of looks or “hotness” category. She calls this the “last taboo” and to further elaborate, she provided examples of famous couples with such a union such as: Donald and Melania Trump, Franklin and Elanor Roosevelt, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and so forth. To put it bluntly, in an interfacial marriage, one’s partner is a lot more good-looking than the other (at least from the perspective of people around them).

In my previous work as a crisis counselor, I encountered a number of cases of physical and sexual abuse. I met very young children who were victims of incest (abused by their fathers, uncles, grandfathers, step-father etc.) as well as women who were victims of domestic violence. Although I abhor all forms of violence and support all of its victims (regardless of race, age, or gender), I have observed that most victims of violence are often the women and children, and the perpetrators are mostly the men. Why is this so?

Why do people stay in a relationship? Regardless of the type of relationships that we have and maintain, we stay in them because we get a lot of benefits from them. This may sound too practical and seemingly callous and cold. One might argue and say “What about love? People stay in a relationship because of love”. Although the romantic side of us would probably insist that we keep a relationship out of love, in essence we do “love” someone because we have realized that a lot would be gained in “loving” that certain person. At least this is what the “Minimax Theory” (social exchange theory) in psychology proposes.

According to a recent survey in the UK, more than 55% of people are unfaithful to their partners. The rise of the mobile phone, Internet dating sites/chat rooms and greater work freedom for both men and women, ensure that it is far easier to have an affair, or start a new relationship with someone, without current partners knowing about it. It is also very easy to get indignant when our partner strays, to condemn them in vitriolic terms and accuse them of being ‘bastards’ ‘whores’ or ‘terrible cheats’. But sometimes getting self-righteously angry, without acknowledging our part in the process, simply delays the inevitable: the final break-down of the relationship.

You cannot grow older disgracefully if you have no confidence to do so, and confidence comes from self-love and high self-esteem. Nothing else. How many of us cannot bear to see ourselves in a mirror, cannot stand to hear our voices coming back at us, or cannot bear to see ourselves in a photo or on a video? Too few people like what they see or hear of themselves. In fact, one famous actress said she never watches her films at all as she cannot bear to see how she acts. Luckily for her, the paying public takes a different view, otherwise no one would bother to watch her performances.

Confidence is one of those things we know greatly influence the extent of our happiness and success, but which seldom seems to come our way, no matter how hard we seek it, especially in interacting with others. Once cannot see confidence or touch it, but without this essential life ingredient, we can feel very miserable and isolated. Without it we think we’re failures – life’s rejects. Even more galling, everyone else seems to have this precious self-assurance, while we are left to wonder where, and how, we missed out.

The rise of the far right, the rise of fundamentalism and terrorists networks, and the continued support for Israel, even when they too commit atrocities, have one thing in common: they are dictated almost exclusively by one version of ‘truth’, by unaccountable privilege and by a basic lack of human respect which form a natural breeding ground for bullies, racists, extremists and disdain for the natural rule of law. They are also a direct product of the fragile and debilitating Israeli-Palestine conflict where each side acts in a mindlessly violent way while claiming to wear the mantle of ‘truth’.

Q. ELAINE, WHY DO MEN CHEAT WHEN THEY HAVE A GOOD WOMAN? Surely, such men are no good bastards!(Marnie)
A. Obviously, we know that women cheat too, Marnie. But as the question refers to you personally, I will only deal with men here.
Men cheat for all sorts of reasons, sometimes it is simply because they can do it, or the opportunity is available. But cheating is done primarily by three types of men: those with low self esteem, those who are unhappy at home and those who are afraid of commitment and are seeking ‘fun’.
