I am just guessing here but I think it's the same reason women have sex before marriage in the first place. Usually, for women, it's not about their sex drive, though it can be that. Usually, it's about feeling better about themselves. They don't feel pretty. They don't feel loved. Etc... A new man showers them with attention and they are re-energized.

All spouses should realize that it's really about them anyway. They look themselves in the mirror everyday. Do you want a cheat looking back at you? then go for it. It boils down to character. I am not faithful to my husband for his sake, I do it for myself. That may sound odd but it eliminates the blame game. It REALLY IS about the person doing it.

If you don't like your marriage then end it properly.

In my opinion, generally speaking, women use sex to get affection, and men use affection to get sex....

HELLO NURSE!!!! Hate to break it to ye, but women ENJOY sex too, ye know.

Your argument is that women who have sex before marriage automatically cheat on their husbands?
Puh-lease!!!! Drag yerself up by the boot straps and get a friggin' life!!! (And before ye castigate me for sayin' what I've said. A) No, I'm not a liberal bitch. B) I live in Ireland with it's Catholic conservatism. C) I come from a good family. D) I'm nearly 30, and I don't ``sleep around''.

Your premise is ridiculous.

"A new man showers them with attention and they are re-energized."

interesting, i shower my wife with attention (good kind) and it seems to turn her off, she takes it for granted, it annoys her, she pushes me away, she rolls over in bed and says she's tired. it's almost like she would rather be mistreated. is my marriage over? possibly. i've been trying for a year to do everything i can to get her involved, Intimate Life, church "genogram" stuff, she simply is not interested in working on it. she's burned out on our two daughters, she doesn't "have the energy" to put into our marriage.

should i cheat on her? (believe me, i have plenty of opportunity)
