why do men cheat in relationship?

Adultery goes BOTH ways...it's people that cheat for any number of reasons: [i]1) They aren't satisfied 2) They're bored 3) They fall out of love[/i] Men often have more of an opportunity to cheat, since they're often traveling because of their job. My ex pushed me to work multiple jobs; it never occurred to him that I would cheat (I was getting sick of being accused, so I decided to make it happen!). Don't give your partner the opportunity to cheat, or even to be tempted!

People simply cheat becuase they are bored and cant be satisfied with what they have,

I am not inclined to believe in your heading why do MEN cheat in a relationship, if your a female I beg to differ with you as was married twice as both wives cheated on me and I would think there would be a lot of men out there who would think the same as myself. Just have a look at a American program called CHEATERS how some of these scheming women lie and cheat to there partners and it is all on camera to see for yourself. So don't say only MEN cheat I think more WOMEN cheat than men as they look for men who are very well off so they can rip as much as they can after they divorce them. Just have a look at females film stars they jump from one bed into another get millions from their husbands, have you ever seen how many men get millions, I don't know any man who has got millions from there wife. After my two divorces I ended up with nothing I never cheated I always believed when you marry it is for life, anyway that's my opinion.

I guess because it's the feeling of thrill and they think they can so they do it. it's also their macho image. they feel like it makes them a man just because they have cheated and that they can cheat some more. i also think that they feel they have been wronged so they just do some hurtful thing to you such as cheating. sometimes it's just because they think with their head below and not above.

Hi, dantakum. Why men likes to cheat in a relationship? It can because of few reasons. 1) The wife is not good and beautiful as when they got married. 2) The men was seduced by other woman (that woman might have wrong motive on him). 3) The men doubt the integrity of his wife and believe that his wife is cheating/disloyal to him. 4) He felt proud when he can manage both women without any conflicts happen. 5) He enjoy the excitement to cheat his wife.

hello there! i know this has been an old post but still i believe this deserves an answer from everyone anytime. this issue is not only for men actually, but also for women. i believe a person cheats in a relationship if she/he is extremely lonely and desperate for the attention of the man/woman ho is supposed to be loving her/him...

Its not just men that cheat...women cheat too...Why does ANYONE cheat? I guess the most common reason is because they arent happy in their marriage or relationship but can't or won't leave which in all honesty makes no damn sense to me...If you arnet happy GET OUT..stop wasting my time, your time and everyone elses time ya know..thats how I see it at least... I think some other reasons would be things like pay backs...for example if a couple has a fight one of them will go out and mess around to get back at their partner....Other reasons would be moments of drunken stupidity...The list goes on and on really No matter WHAT the reason though, I have zero tolerance for cheaters EVEN THOUGH I have been the mistress AND I've been cheated on (both long long ago)...Like i said, my attitude is, if you arnet happy, LEAVE...

You know, it really upsets me when I see a one-sided statement/question like this... I've witness many women cheat on good and committed men before, almost just as much as I've seen jerk guys cheat on their wives. It's not just men that cheat, women do it too. It's a horrible thing to do to ANYBODY, male or female. And when a person does this it's a betrayal of trust and it's highly damaging to a relationship. If a person is unsatisfied in a relationship then they need to come out and say so, rectify it, or make plans to end it and move on!

I think men cheat for different reasons. One may be because he is a player and loves the thrill of the hunt. One reason could be because he is searching for something he has not found yet. Another could be because it just happened. Sometimes when two people work closely together they spend so much time together that the boundaries get lost. What once was a close friendly working relationship easily becomes an affair. I also think that it is a fantasy for any one who cheats. It is all new and fun. There are not the problems of married life in an affair. No kids, no bills, no worries, Just fun and games. None of this makes it right but any way that is what I think.

prolly for the same reasons women do it as well. cheating isnt isolated to the male of the species.

People cheat because they cannot be honest with themselves or their partner. That is the simple truth. If people were more honest about what they were feeling and going through, instead of expecting something to change without talking to their partner about a problem that concerns them both, well that's already a sign of an unhealthy relationship. If you can't talk to your partner about how you feel, why are you with them? I think the problem is people are with each other for all the wrong reasons.

cheat can be deliberate, but sometimes because of kindness, people cheat.

There are SO many reasons why people cheat - men aren't the only one who cheat, women do it too. People cheat because... ...they feel unfulfilled in their current relationships so they seek it somewhere else. It can be emotional or physical fulfilment which they find hard to discuss with their partner. It is also possible that they can't seem to settle their problems and/or have to stay together for a variety of reasons. ...they perceive loyalty and fidelity different. If you have grown up believing that it is perfectly okay to two-time someone, you are more likely to commit adultery than to stay loyal whenever something crappy happens to your relationship. Plus you're less likely to feel guilty either. Ultimately it boils down to whether people take loyalty, fidelity and commitment seriously.

there are various reasons why men cheat. it could be primary or secondary depending on the cause. what should be thought about now is how to make these men stop cheating.

i think it's because there is no contentment in this world....they are not contented to have just one relationship, some men seeks more girls coz they are not satisfied and not contented with one...it sad to say, but there are only few guys nowadays who are really loyal to their partner....
