"Run to You" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter #BryanAdams. It was released in 1984 as the lead single from his fourth album, #Reckless (1984). The track deals with the subject of #infidelity, and is sung from the perspective of a man who declares that he will continue to "run to" his seductive #mistress over his faithful partner; critic Ira Robbins for #CMJ called it a "cheating classic". In the accompanying music video, however.

"Unfaithfulness," Paolo Veronese, c. 1575.

Veronese (1528-1588) was a Venetian Renaissance painter, most famous for his extremely large religious, history, and mythology paintings. Along with Titian and Tintoretto, he's regarded as one of the three great Venetian painters of the time, and his work was eagerly sought by collectors during his lifetime.

This is one of a series of paintings done as "An Allegory of Love." Here we have "Unfaithfulness," sometimes called "Infidelity," the first of the four. Here the lady seems ready to go for the guy in pink...but in the second, "Scorn," it's the bearded man she looks on with contempt as he writhes in agony, and in the third, "Respect," he comes across her nude form again....but in the fourth, "Happy Union," she seems to be hooking up with the pink guy again. It's unclear if they're meant to tell a story, or just be a representation of different amatory experiences, perhaps in opposed pairs..."Scorn" vs. "Respect," and "Unfaithfulness" vs. "Happy Union." It's all up to interpretation.

Maria Shriver is opening up about loss and grief in a big way. In her new book I Am Maria — a collection of poems and reflections by the author — Shriver, 69, revealed she was unable to get off the floor of her hotel room after learning of her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infidelity. The news came soon after the deaths of both of her parents. @usweekly reports:

"Creep" is a song recorded by American singing group #TLC for their second studio album, #CrazySexyCool (1994). #DallasAustin, who tried to write the track from a "female perspective", wrote and produced it. It is based on member #TionneTBozWatkins's experience with #infidelity. The lyrics portray the singers as women who cheat on their unfaithful lovers for "some affection". This context was controversial within the group.
