What makes them cheat . Even when you think the relationship is going right

@SW-User That may or may not be the case. So that justifies it? Makes it right? If a married man or woman is set on cheating, the one determined to cheat, should first divorce. That is no excuse to break your mother's heart. Vows mean something. Or they should. What happened to "for better or worse"? Further, God's Word says that anyone who commits adultery, causes their partner to commit adultery, as well. That's not my words, that's one of God's commandments, although not popular, because people want what they want, regardless of what God thinks.

@LadyGrace I appreciate your insight but that [b]is[/b] the case here. My mother told me one thing:"Men often want more, not less". The reason my father can't leave her is that he needs her.

@SW-User I understand what you're saying, and the situation is sad, but I disagree with that that makes it okay. Wanting more does not speak well for commitment and dedication. Love is not selfish enough to cheat on someone they claim to love. What if everyone felt that way? Pretty soon we'd have people using any excuse to cheat on their spouse. For every argument, disagreement, or hangnail. I've seen too many use this as an excuse to cheat on their partner. He may need her, but cheating doesn't show he respects her. His needs show they are strictly for his benefit, with no thought on how it hurts your mother...no matter how she tries to accept it and put on a happy face. Cheating always hurts.

@LadyGrace I'm not implying cheating is okay, even if it's attached with reasons. My father still has feelings for my mother, he's just in need of the love that she used to be capable of giving him. And the reason he needs her is that without her, he would lose everything he's spent most of his life building- a family, a home. Those other women can only give him sexual satisfaction but not what his wife can. My mother accepts his needs for who he is as long as he still completes his duty as a husband and a father.

Cheating is never ok, but I think it depends on the context to decide whether it's acceptable or not.

@SW-User There was no question in God's mind, whether the conditions determined the decision. I'm not trying to condemn or judge here. That's not my place. I'm simply giving my opinion, and stating God's standards on this subject. I'm sorry this situation has occurred.

@LadyGrace It's alright. Every opinion matters :)

@SW-User It does. Everyone's. ❤️🤗
