There’s no easy solution to being cheated on. Leave your partner and you’re accused of giving up too quickly. Choose to stay and you’re shamed for it – seen as weak, gaslit or naive. It’s for that reason that so many couples decide to mutually keep an act of infidelity a secret. Why talk about it publicly and inspire so many opinions? Unless you’re distinguished WAG and supersleuthColeen Rooney, that is.
In a recent interview with The Times, Coleen spoke openly about sticking with her husband, footballer Wayne, despite his numerous indiscretions. “I’m not stupid,” she said. “I know people might say, ‘Oh, I would have left him years ago,’ but why, when you still have something to work at? We know each other. There’s love there, and if there wasn’t we wouldn’t still be together.”
