Wandering men, and women, are looking for excitement that isn't happening at home. And don't spew the crap about how tired the partner is! I had a stay-at-home wife who did virtually nothing all day and greeted me with a litany (once I woke her up) of how miserable her life was. I stayed faithful and remained in that empty marriage until she started abusing our son.
Marriage takes hard work. Just like fishing, it isn't enough to get 'em to bite and to hook them, you have to keep the line taunt and play 'em or they will get off!
The operative word is "play". It is an effort to keep a marriage or any relationship fun. If you think your work ends at the altar, you better have the number of a good divorce attorney, because that is where you are driving the marriage!
My wife and I don’t work at it, it’s just what comes naturally.
I think I married your ex-wife.
I've got 10 years left on my sentence. After that the youngest is outta college and I'm outta here!
