Infidelity Expert Discusses Jude Law and Celebrity Infidelity on the Today Show

Can cheating men like Jude Law be frightened into being faithful? Should Sienna Miller take Jude back? Infidelity expert, Ruth Houston tells Today Show audience about celebrity infidelity.

(PRWEB) August 24, 2005 -- Can men be frightened into being faithful?

That's the question infidelity expert Ruth Houston posed about Jude Law on the Today Show Monday morning. The possible reconciliation between Jude Law and Sienna Miller was the topic of discussion. Houston, who is frequently called on by the media to comment on celebrity infidelity, told the Today Show audience that only time will tell whether or not Jude Law's highly publicized infidelity experience was enough to frighten him into being faithful.

Expanding on her Today Show comments, Houston, the author of "Is He Cheating on You?" explains: “Cheaters become repeaters if they don't suffer any negative consequences as a result of their infidelity. Sienna broke off her engagement with Jude, but it appears that she may now be open to giving him a second chance. Has Jude learned his lesson? Will the fact that he almost lost Sienna be enough to frighten Jude into being faithful from this point on? We'll have to wait and see. Only time will tell.”

As to the probability of Jude and Sienna living happily ever after without further incidents of infidelity, Houston comments, "All cheaters are not the same. Jude Law is an example of what I call an 'opportunistic cheater' – a person who cheats when there's an opportunity to do so without getting caught. If Sienna takes Jude back, she'll need to keep him on a short leash to make sure he doesn't have any opportunities to cheat. She may not want to assume that burdensome task."

Houston points out that all infidelity is not the same. “Jude Law's situation was a clear cut case of sexual infidelity. He had no close emotional ties to his children's nanny -- it was purely sex and nothing more, a very different situation from another high profile case of celebrity infidelity -- that of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Back in January when the rumors first started, I labeled this relationship as a case of emotional infidelity. I also predicted that it would undermine Brad's marriage to Jen if left unchecked. And that's exactly what happened. No one leaves their marriage for a one night stand or the type of sexual affair Jude Law had with Daisy Wright. But a strong emotional bond will cause a person to abandon their marriage for someone else; the way Brad abandoned Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.”

Houston says the hardest part of restoring a relationship in the aftermath of infidelity is rebuilding the trust.

“From this point on, Jude needs to be accountable to Sienna for all his time. He need to let her know where he is and what he's doing at all times. If he's not physically with her, he should to be accessible to her by phone. It may sound unfair but that's the cost of cheating. If he's not willing to do that, then he's made a statement about how important their relationship is in his life.”

Though cheating celebrities get most of the attention, infidelity is a common occurrence these days. Citing statistics that 50 – 70 percent of men are cheating on their mates, Houston told the Today Show audience that 2/3 of the women being cheated on have no idea what's going on because they fail to recognize the telltale signs.

Houston adds, "Jude's ex-wife Sadie Frost said she was not surprised by Jude's episode of infidelity. So Sienna would do well to familiarize herself with the telltale signs of infidelity so she'll know right away if Jude is up to his old tricks.”
