Hello lelin I guess this must be something serious now. One thing for sure is the dissatisfaction of the husband to his wife. Another thing is he was not able to resist the temptation from a woman especially if the husband would be tall, dark and handsome.There are lots of factors while the husband would be tempted by a certain woman. I think this page would not be enough if we all elaborate the reason why infidelity happens between the couple. Yes I admit, it would be a hard for a man to accept his wife doing, or caught having some illegal affairs with the other women. It is a matter of "touch of ego" done to the husbands by the wives. On the other hand, if the husband committed this "crime" against the wife it is easily accepted by the wife. This is most like the case in our own cultural society. I don't know in your place...As I was thinking women should be appreciated for this...being more patient and understandable, considerable than men. I mean not all, but majority has this quality... I think that's all what I can contribute..you have a nice topic..thanks... Mobhomeir here..

Yeah I strongly agree with you lin, having another children from another women which was done by the illicit affairs from the husbands would be the worst case. I did not considered this as I wrote my reply..I was only thinking an affair but no other children with the involves. Yes, I strongly believe there are dew women still accept it..in your case what's your stand if you are the real wife? would you still accept your husband? Thanks. Mobhomeir here...

Some woman will stay with a man once he cheats but alot wouldn't. Especially if the affair produces kids. It takes a strong women to accept the husbands infidelities. Thanks for your response.

That would be the icing on the cake for me. I would not be able to handle another women having my husbands baby. Not at all.

But I'm speaking from the Eurpean perspective. In Europe when the men cheat its invariably with a married woman thus its about equal.

well I am not a male but from my own experience and observation I guess men cheat because of their very nature. Most of them can not stay with same emotion and they tend to like many girls at a time. In India, marriages are considered sacred and despite impact of outside world, even now most of the people fear breaking their marriage. But despite this, no one can stop males from cheating. It is always their wives, who tend to forgive for the sake of relationship.

I don't think all men cheat. At the same time I do think that some women cheat too. So it is all about how a person takes himself, views himself, whether he uses self-actualization to analyse himself. Men might cheat for various reasons and the reasons might vary from person to person. Some people attribute it to the natural instinct of a man. But it is also true that there are men who are faithful to their wives and girlfriends and they are more controlled to brush aside any temptation that they encounter. There is no fixed answer for that but I guess it involves a lot of factors.

I only asked why do men cheat? Of course not all men cheat and I know women cheat too. I was hoping to find a man willing to say why he cheated on his wife. We shall see if that happens. Thanks for your input on this matter.

Well, there are many factors why men cheat but the end of all different reasons they got is that they are not contented with their partner. Any man who is contented with his partner will never cheat even there is coming temptation. The fear of loosing your love rules over the temptations done by other cheaters too. MEN has many wants and needs that almost women cannot figure when she gave all the best she can be and made her role well being a wife and a mother. Some MEN do cheat because they have these called SEASONAL moods and options in life and sometimes when they go to marriage fast without experiencing their single days much, they tend to go back after marriage to that doing. Some MEN do cheat because they have realized that the partner they have now will not make them happy for lifetime because of personal indifference, temper, family problems and many more.. Some MEN do cheat because they have the traumatic incident in during their growing stages that made them realize no to stick to one partner. Some MEN are ego centered, that even they have a partner in real, the pride of being a man and ego to his friends will still prevail so he will do everything to impress his fellow peers. Some Men do cheat because they never believed in a single one woman partner. All they want is their enjoyments and feeling and satisfaction. But, there are also MEN who can be idolized because they never cheat their partners and that is very rare and despite of their bad or traumatic background, they still manage to correct their lives and start a good family who provide the LOVE to them that he was deprived before.

I agree with you on all counts. The worse guy that you described though is the guy with big ego. The ones who have to prove to their peers. That is a very inmature person who is not a man to me. A man who stays in a relationship to work it out or decides to get a divorce before cheating is what I call a very mature man and a good man. Thanks for your thoughtful input.

I totally detests men who cheat. In the first place, don't take wedding vows if u are not serious abt it! Men will always have the itch or desire to go for someone more pretty/slim etc. But how would u like it if ur partner does that to u?

I agree with you but I know of men that I have seen with my own two eyes cheating with women who are not at all pretty. Meanwhile their wives at home are beautiful. I always wondered what that was all about.

Some men cheat because of so many reasons, it might be any under the following: 1. They may have experienced the pain of being cheated 2. Girls temptation is much stronger than their will power to desist 3. They just look at it as fun and will add the feeling of real manhood 4. They have psychological imbalance 5. They are under self denial trying to hide their weakness and identity 6. They simply collect for collections sake for a more choices Well all are just based on observations and readings.

I posted this do to the Tiger Woods drama. My first boyfriend years ago did cheat on me and I left him. I just don't understand men who have a wife and kids at home would screw up their marriage to have a mistress. It makes no sense to me. Is it worth losing everything? Thanks for responding.
