With apologies to Keith Jackson I have to say, "Whoa Nellie" to all of the women who are taking shots at their male counterparts for "cheating" on them and passing along trade secrets on "How to tell if your man is cheating on you." I think you can save a lot of time by quitting the critique of "Your Man" (how sexist is that label) and turn a painted eye to the mirror.

Without ever sending a private detective or a film crew or just doing your own personal stalking a woman can determine with ease if her man is being faithful. But first, let us get the definitions down pat. It was no accident that Bill Clinton gave the classic male response to his being questioned regarding Monica Lewinsky by stating, "It all depends of what the definition of 'is' is."

Definitions:

Your Man: A male who has committed by either marriage or vow to be monogamous, WITH
YOU! That is the clincher for a lot of cases because embracing monogamy
without specifying with whom is a clear defense to cheating.

Cheating: To cheat at something, there has to be a game being played. If you and
YOUR MAN are not in the same game, then there are no rules to be broken.
Bluntly speaking, if you are not participating in the game, he has the
right to go to another table.

As promised, here are the tips you can use without harassing your man or being embarrassed on national television or forking out a lot of doe for a P.I.

Clue Number 1. If you have finished your sexual career because you have kids or are
married, Your man may be stepping out.

Clue Number 2. If you constantly demean your man, his job, his goals, his education
or his friends while you aren't doing a damn bit better, he may be
stepping out.

Clue Number 3. If his castle is a nag trap of don't leave water spots in the sink
and pick up your socks, 24-7, your man may be stepping out.

Clue Number 4. If when you have those inevitable arguments, you gang up with your
mama, sisters, friends and anybody else who will listen to your
whinning, your man may be stepping out.

Clue Number 5. If dressing up sexy was only for the courtship and now the only time
that you dress up is on girls night out, your man may be stepping
out and

Final clue. If you are triple bag ugly with a bad disposition and he only
married or is living with you because you had money and you are
now either broke or have cut him off, YOUR man is about to be
YOUR best friend's man.
