According to the American Psychological Association, somewhere between 40 to 50 percent of marriages end in divorce<\/a>. While people get divorced for a variety of reasons, career choice is often a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Washington Post study of divorce rates by occupation<\/a> found that 38.2% of massage therapists become divorced. It’s a rate significantly higher than the national average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So who are massage therapists and why do they get divorced so often?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are Massage Therapists?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Massage therapists are highly trained professionals, playing an important role in caring for a variety of medical issues from rehabilitation of injuries to clinical depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are may be as many as active 385,000 massage therapists in the United States. A Boston Globe survey<\/a> found that 80.1% of massage therapists are female. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Boston University study<\/a> entitled \u201cCareer Women and the Durability of Marriage\u201d found that women who work are no more likely to get divorced than those who stay at home. In a field dominated by women, it seems gender alone does not explain the high divorce rate within the profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Relationships with Masseuses Get Tense <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The more likely explanation lies with masseuses’ partners, who are often unable to separate emotion from professionalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job requires physical interaction with regular (and sometimes long-term) clients. To make things worse, massages happen in dark, private rooms. This can place a real burden on a relationship. “Who did you touch today?” is a question that might be on your spouse’s mind when you walk through the door after a long, exhausting day as a massage therapist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For masseuses, the job is a form of physical treatment and healing that may be intimate but has no element of sexuality. Unfortunately many of their partners are never able to understand that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard to blame a spouse for letting their imagination run wild and assuming the worst given the job dynamic. Luckily, there is a way for them to get some peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are They Cheating? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there\u2019s no evidence that suggests that massage therapists actually cheat more, there is evidence that women cheat as frequently as men<\/a>. The National Opinion Research Center also found the number of married women who have reported cheating on their husbands has risen 40% since 1990.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re asking yourself \u201cis she cheating?,\u201d you may have noticed some of the signs of a cheating partner<\/a>. Whatever the reason for your worry, there is something you can do to gain peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Find Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While this won\u2019t always reveal the truth, it\u2019s worthwhile to search their info using a people search engine to see what may come up. For example,  if you\u2019ve seen a strange number on their phone, or generally worry they may be texting a secret flame, you can search unknown phone numbers to get name, location and more<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that doesn\u2019t turn anything up, you can also search their email address<\/a> to see any publicly-available social media profiles (including accounts on dating sites) associated with it you may not be aware of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re married to someone working in a \u201crelationship-challenging\u201d field and are feeling insecure, it can just takes a few seconds to discover the truth. The more you empower yourself the more peace of mind you\u2019ll feel in the long run. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
