do Why Do Men Cheat on Their Wives?
![]() |
QUESTION: My husband is very much a flirt. Because of this as well as numerous other reasons, I think my husband is having an affair. I don?t think I am lust being paranoid. Please give me some help in understanding why men cheat, because I don?t think it is just me. |

ANSWER: Your dilemma is one that is all too common. You are probably right when you say that it is not ?just me.? It takes two to make a marriage or break a marriage, and it takes two to have an affair. The fact that he has always been ?a flirt? suggests that, at one time, he was that way with you. You probably responded in a way that made him feel special, wanted, and needed, and reinforced his flirting behavior. This ties in with |

the first and main reason why men have affairs: to feed their ego. The problem with us males is that feeling good about ourselves, or meeting our ?ego needs,? is our primary goal in life. Therefore, the first reason why men get involved in affairs is that it feeds their egos. The second reason is what we call ?misplaced anger.? For example lets consider the husband who is really mad at his wife for whatever reason. He may have an affair with some other woman as a way of making his wife ?pay. ? Instead of directing his anger toward her (which he may be afraid to do), or expressing the anger in a way that will help the relationship change, he just has sex with some other woman This action then feeds his ego (because someone else wants him), so he now feels good (physically and emotionally) and he doesn?t feel as angry with his wife. In his anger, he has made her pay. The third reason why men have affairs is boredom. The Bible (Proverbs 9:1 7) tells us ?stolen melons are the sweetest, stolen apples taste the best.? In modem times this means that the ?grass is greener on the other side of the fence.? ?If I don?t have enough excitement in my life, I will create some.? |

Children who are raised in alcoholic homes, for example, become what we refer to as ?adult children of alcoholics.? One key characteristic is that they become easily bored with life should it become too ?stable.? |

I figure that is God’s way of letting the younger guys have a chance with the cute young girls.
“Well, Mr. Jones DOES have a lot of money. But eww- no hair on his head because it’s coming out of his ears and nose and his pot-belly makes him look 5 months pregnant!”
