Why Do Married Men Cheat?
I know this may be a topic most people in this class may not want to talk about but it is just part of my curiosity. I was listening to the radio this morning and woman called in asking for help as to how to deal with here cheating husband? She wanted to know if she should leave him or if she should stay. My question is why do married men cheat and stay married? Any thoughts?

They're stupid.
It's possible that it's easy. Assuming they begin cheating while married, or even continue cheating while married, all they have to do is continue. Until someone catches them or gets upset because he won't dump his wife and marry whoever he's cheating with. Why anyone would marry someone that was cheating on their previous spouse is beyond me.

My English class was just talking about the subject of married men cheating, and one of my male classmates had the audacity to bring up the point that some geneticists believe that cheating may be an inherited trait! UNBELIEVEABLE! I hate that standpoint-the "we can't help it" excuse. It is ridiculous. Of course men can control the urge to cheat- and if the tables were turned and women used the genetics cop-out, men would use it as an excuse for a cheating free for all. DO I sound bitter? I don't mean to :)

My husband told me that men cheat because they are selfish. I would have to agree with him and beleive that if a man says anything different is just protraying himself as a VERY weak man.

I do not know why married men cheat. Most of all I don't know how they stay married. I think they mostly are able to stay married because kids are involved. I do not think that wives should stay with their husbands if they are cheated on. That is just a ridiculous thing. That is the worst thing you can do to someone in my opinion.
You took that person's trust and crushed it.

Married men cheat because women like me allow it. I am not married and have been involved with married men most of my life. Why? I don't know? It just happens. I meet them, get to know them through work, and then find myself attracted to them and vise versa. We have affair and they NEVER leave and I ALWAYS get hurt, but do it again? I am the stupid one. They are getting their cake and eating it too. I cannot do it again! I cannot take the continued hurt.

I THINK MEN CHEAT BECAUSE THERE IS SOME SORT OF INSECURITY WITHIN THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE MULTIPLE PARTNERS BECAUSE THEY NEED THEIR EGO BOOSTED TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. ANY MAN OR WOMAN THAT CHEATS ON THEIR SPOUSE(S)DOESN'T RESPECT THEMSELVES SO HOW CAN THEY RESPECT THEIR MATE(S)?

Why men cheat? I can only tell you what my grandmother once told me(She was a Sunday school teacher for 22 years)..All men cheat at least once in their marriage. I could not believe this, but as I grew older and the men that I knew were "happily" married ALL made passes at me,I begin to realize it's not because they do not love their wife and kids with everthing they have, it's just the thrill of the hunt. I know that I probably will make a lot of women mad but it's the truth. A woman out of the marriage makes them feel sexy or intelligent or hell, even like he is a good husband and then he's hooked, maybe just for a moment but the damage is done.

I think a married man cheats because he is not happy with his wife sexually. Men desire things that they do not dare ask their wives because it might be outrageous or out of the ordinary. I think men like a little spice in their life. I think a lot of it has to do with attraction as well. I mean lets face it we are "attracted physically" to our spouses and if you are no longer attracted to your spouse this doesn't help either. I tell my husband nicely when he is getting overweight and I try to stay fit for him as well.
