Fear.
Lack of respect.
They are bastards. No offence to their mothers.
They don't care.
Not willing to commit.
Don't know their sexuality.
Stupid.
Low lifes.
Want to have their cake and eat it too and eat someone else's cake as well.
They want the safety of a marriage with outside sex.
Who the Hades really knows all the excuses? Not me. I don't cheat. Not my way.
Sexless marriages. Don't forget that pitiful excuse of a life.
@PoetryNEmotion not all have sexless marriages, mine had plenty and still wanted more outside the marriage.
@Stuturp True. But I do see people who are refused sex and intimacy and who stray because they DO have needs that must be met. I lived in what was considered a sexless union for 3 decades. It costs one severely to put one's needs and desires on a back burner and to remain monogamous or celibate with a person who neither loves you or cares about you.

I am sorry that yours cheated. It reflects upon his worth and certainly NOT on yours.
@PoetryNEmotion thank you, I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
@Stuturp The real problem was that I tried to fix something that couldn't be fixed. He didn't care to be real about his sexuality. How many gay people get involved with straight people merely because society expects each man and each woman to find a mate of the opposite sex and to have chidren? If a person cannot accept who he or she is, they should just not get involved with anyone. Be authentic or be alone. That is what I say. Do not waste the time of others. Do not hurt your partners and your kids. Be adult. Be loving. Stop the shit.
