Why do you think men cheat?
Lack of character and self-control.
There is no one answer why MEN cheat, just as there is no one answer why WOMEN cheat.
A decent man, who is not a lout who goes into a relationship from the get go cheating, and wants to remain faithful and decent, is most likely going to wind up cheating because they are not getting what they need out of their relationship, and over enough time will eventually stray. Good MEN and good WOMEN can only take so much before enough is enough.
The biggest mistake that I see in relationships, is that one or both parties let themselves go and take each other for granted. Yea I know its hard after multiple kids and all kinds of demands on your time to stay in shape.. but my advice, particular for women... TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT. If you are in a traditional relationship where the man works and the wife stays home, make an effort to look nice for him at least occassionally. I know raising kids is hard work, but if he comes home to a wife who doesn’t keep the house clean, and doesn’t at least make an effort to make herself presentable, he will cheat sooner or later.
We are all tempted at some point in our lives, some are tempted more often than others, but are all tempted. If a man doesn’t feel appreciated, that’s the number one thing that will push him over the line to say yes the next time he’s tempted instead of no thanks, flattered, but I’m happily married.
And guys, want to keep your woman from straying better make sure you let her know you appreciate her from time to time as well... When’s the last time you brought her flowers, just because? (Valentines, anniversaries and mother’s day don’t count).
There is no guarantee that your spouse won’t cheat on you... some folks are just louts... but I think many situations could be avoided by simple things that get ignored until its too late.
