From my observations, there are several reasons. One, some men cheat because it is fun. New lovers equals new experiences equals fun. Two, a feeling develops that wifey poo does not communicate or communicates by nagging, sarcasm, anger, or just doesn’t seem to have time, or just doesn’t enjoy intimate interactions any more. Three, hubby meets someone to whom he can talk and who seems to be different from wife, and as time goes on, feelings develop. If hubby leaves wife for new lover, he often finds new lover is same as old lover over time. Four, wife is just a rolling h*ll-raising b*tch.
parsy, who sees this kind of stuff happen
With a wife, the husband needs a good reason to leave, and deal with the problems of divorce.
With a girlfriend, she needs to continually provide him with a good reason to continue to see her.
I would agree and just add that those things could also apply to women, not just men.
Off topic- were you gone from FR for a while or did we just not cross paths? I’ve always enjoyed your posts.
