I always thought men cheat to feed their egos.
The original question should be posted on Daily Kos. They check their consciences at the door.
Do you think the same goes for women?
I’m sure some do, I’d say more often than not though, its that they get taken for granted in their primary relationships.
Most guys believe it or not are decent, yes there are pigs out there, nothing you can do will change a pig, but most are decent. Of the men I know that have cheated and I would classify as decent, I’d say the biggest factor was they got taken for granted by their partners.
Even a decent guy will only be able to handle that for so long before he strays.
Life happens, kids come, it gets crazy, but if a woman doesn’t make the effort to take care of herself and at least make the effort to make her husband feel special, even if it isn’t what she’d like to be doing at the time, he will find that elsewhere.
(And this goes both ways, women stray too and usually for the same sorts of reasons)
