“Squirrel!” That is what I think about when I attempt to explain why Oorun would consider leaving her husband. The exclamation was a central concept of the Pixar movie, Up, in which a character lost focus and went off course when distracted by another irresistible character. But is it the case for Oorun? Could she want to be with another person because they see exciting and different? Mature women like her could not be so flighty, right? It must be something else. Why do women cheat? Ideas, based on reality, are welcomed — please comment.
