So according to a French psychologist, the key to a healthy marriage is to cheat on your spouse. In her new book, "I'm A Chick in Glasses Who's Completely Given Up," Maryse Vallamt says that men shouldn't be punished for cheating, and that women might find their mate's infidelity "liberating."

She also says men don't cheat because they stopped loving their wives, but because they just need room to breathe - making me think the book must have been ghost written by Bill Clinton or Tiger Woods.

Anyway, she adds that forty percent of French men cheat (sometimes with cheese) and that infidelity is "inevitable." In a beret-shaped nutshell - against such odds, why bother? The secret to a good marriage, is to make it a bad marriage!

Now, we need to put this in perspective. The author is French, so we know she has a funny accent. Also, she probably hasn't seen a good film in years. But I wonder how she'd feel if I applied the logic to making French bread - and said that sometimes the dough doesn't have to rise to make it edible. That makes the exact same sense as advocating pro-adultery marriage. It's the product of relativism: remove standards, masquerade failure as success, and success will always be yours! As for those idiots left to defend monogamy, you only open yourself up for accusations of hypocrisy once you inevitably screw up. Come on: just say you never meant to be faithful, and you're fine.

It's an easy win for cads - getting a female shrink to agree with you. But poor Maryse. I'm sure her husband can't wait for her book tour.

When the cat's away, and all that.

and if you disagree with me, you're probably a racist.
