- Nearly one woman in two has searched her husband's pockets
or read his mobile telephone messages without his knowledge, according
to a survey published today.
-
- In the same way as Emma Thompson in Love Actually rifles
through a jacket belonging to her husband, played by Alan Rickman, and
discovers his looming infidelity, women admit they are suspicious by nature.
-
- But if they had an affair and became pregnant 73 per
cent would not tell their husband that the baby was someone else's.
-
- A poll of 5,000 women, entitled the National Scruples
and Lies Survey, claims that most women have "warped morals".
Ironically, the more women lie, the more suspicious they become of their
partner, it says.
-
- Nearly a third of women say if they wanted a baby and
their partner did not, they would lie about using contraception. A fifth
have checked her husband or partner's emails and one in 10 has even followed
him to find out what he is doing.
-
- Only a quarter of women think that their husband or partner
has done the same.
-
- The survey was commissioned by That's Life magazine.
The average age of the women polled was 38.
-
- Seventy per cent of women admit that they get drunk at
the office Christmas party, with a quarter flirting with their boss.
