For as long as relationships have existed, men have cheated. While I can’t promise it won’t happen to you, here are the top ten reasons why men do cheat, so you can minimise the chances…
1. Because they can …
This is possibly the hardest one to understand, but when men are offered sex, they are likely to take up the offer. Research suggests that this is because they are less used to be propositioned and so are more likely to feel flattered and wanted.
2. It boosts his ego …
Men in long term relationships tend to feel less attractive to the opposite sex, so when a woman pays attention, he will allow her to stroke his ego some more. The thrill of the chase leads to a massive ego boost when he finally sleeps with her.
3. You grow apart …
You stop taking an interest in golf or playstation games, and he finds somebody else who does. He’ll then want to see if they are compatible in the bedroom, too…
10 Obvious Signs of Cheating … Is He a Cheater?
4. He has fallen out of love …
He may just be staying for the kids, or for financial reasons, or because he doesn’t want to hurt you, so he’ll seek love elsewhere. To him, this is win-win.
5. You argue a lot …
He will become less and less happy at home, and will go elsewhere to be comforted.
Do Women in Great Relationships Cheat ..?
Eight out of ten isn’t bad…. Kati, you actually hit the nail on the head with this top ten list. Being a man, I can say that I have or I know guys that have just about every reason on this.
Do you buy into the notion that men are programmed to cheat? Genetics, evolution type stuff… Cavemen monkeys made me cheat?
REAL MEN don’t cheat!! Only those with low self esteem, who sit on their brains!!
Katie, I have been tempted most of my life, but if you are strong and true, you can resist the temptation to cheat or have a little affair!
You could defintely turn my head, but I don’t know if you would get further that, even though you are quite beautiful…
Love ya,
Egotistical men with no conscience and poor character cheat.. They have poor self-esteem and no respect for their partners.
Girlfriend the number 1 reason on your list should be sex life has died. I hear this complaint all the time. “My wife hasn’t put out in 3 months because she is mad about this or that.” If you aren’t putting out in time they will be.
How about the reasons why women cheat??? These are the reasons retarded guys cheat, you girls need to stop dating retards
I would never cheat on someone, it’s morally wrong and it would hurt them alot, I’ve had it done to me so I should know. If I wanted to sleep with someone else I would break up with them well before I did anything. It is a really horrible thing to do to someone especially if you ‘love’ them which u obviously don’t because you’re betraying their trust and your commitment to them. And no doubt the person you are cheating on them with doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you because they know that you are a cheater and they are just as bad as you unless your a lying sack of shit and they are unaware, either way if you don’t have feelings for someone anymore and want to move on its better to end the relationship because cheating is one of the worst ways to break up. If you are some kind of sicko that gets off on cheating you don’t deserve to be with anyone, and what if you got some disease and then gave it to your partner that would be a dead give away.
Men cheat because they’re just not that into you. Plain and simple.
Tara,
I don’t think that’s the whole truth. I think men (or women) cheat simply because they can. And sometimes physical attraction overpowers any emotion that you feel for someone else.
