Why do men cheat so often…so easily?

You would say that maybe his wife has become fat, or ugly or unattractive to him. (Men do think like that!)

And you know it’s not true when you read news about Shakira’s breakup after 2 kids with her partner of 11 years.

Shakira is like the ideal woman( a successful woman, mother, humanitarian, businesswoman, artist, fit and beautiful in every way!) 💖

I wish she had married someone better….

Exactly which men cheat? Oh the ones that need to be or are about to be divorced cheat... They are the ones who get to pay dearly for their transgressions...

We have been married 33 years... I have NEVER cheated. My Wife decided a long time ago that we would make love every day, she enjoys what we do together, so do I... To be very honest not only do I have ZERO reason what so ever to complain let alone to cheat, she keeps me so busy I have no capacity to do so.. I some times think that not only does she enjoy herself a LOT but that her keeping me so busy - is like her building a fortress around me.. and protecting her turf... I have seen others cheat... they are the ones that get divorced and cause mayhem in their families.. so we observe closely what others do both good and bad and and have two types of examples of how to behave and how NOT to behave... Me? I am the most blessed man to have ever drawn breath... and I happen to KNOW it....

These examples demonstrate clearly that the grass is NEVER greener on the other side of the fence.

Oh and people... they are NOT called the Ten Suggestions!!!

@pdqsailor1 How accurately stated, my friend.

I found out much later in my marriage that my husband had cheated on me even when we had a v active sex life. That’s what cheaters do. They can’t help themselves coz it’s another addiction that they can’t get past…it’s like the thrill of getting away with crime and not getting caught.

Sadly, they don’t see how hollow their behavior is making them with their actions.

Gerard has only ensured that she gets over him and moves on…like he never existed.

@Vivaci Yes I agree that even very active marital relations are not a guarantee against a philanderer cheating.. character flaws are character flaws but those who observe others behaviour can easily conclude that there are severe repercussions and ramifications for transgressing... I was exposed to such repercussions and ramifications early as a young adult.. and honestly it was not a very difficult logical conclusion to come to that the negatives far exceeded any perceived notions of benefit... The real problem is that many men allow their penis / ego to do their thinking for them instead of their intellects.. and this is exactly where the trouble starts... I have strong analytical skills and can fairly readily separate logic from emotion...

@pdqsailor1 true…common sense and sensibilities will make you take the right judgement in life. Sadly those two traits are majorly lacking in individuals, it seems.
