i am a man single but my dad cheated on my mum, and when he was caught said he loved my mum but in a different way but i thought when you get married the vows you take are meant to mean something but not to my dad. so i cant see how you can love someone you meant to spend the rest of your life with if you jump in bed with another woman. luckerly my mum saw sence and got rid of him and my step dad loves her and adores her. my dad is a looser and i dont know where he is. so i think they dont love there wives they just say it to hope the wives dont find out what they are up to and really like

All married men who sleep with other women are loosers... If they can't stay with one woman.. They won't stay with any other woman either...

No, if a man cheat's he definitely does not love his wife. You are not supposed to intentionally hurt someone you love and, if you cheat, you are intentionally hurting her. Why do men cheat? Let's see: immaturity they think the grass is greener elsewhere they are thinking with the wrong "head" they don't understand a committed relationship they still want to be single but have the benefits of marriage (i.e. maid service, cooked meals, etc.)

I couldn't agree more. You just described my first husband to a "T".

Sometimes thier wives aren't putting out enough and meeting thier emotional needs... sometimes the wife they married is fat now and doesnt take care of heself... sometimes the wife spends more time with the kids then nurturing the relationship with her husband...

I can think of a few reasons. 1. He's not being satisfied at home. 2. He's looking for a challenge/conquest at home. 3. He's no longer interested in the wife. Either way it is not fair! Good luck.

I think a man that cheats on his wife, doesn't love himself and therefore he has to validate his worth outside of the marriage. Too many young people try to find happyness in other people rather than finding contentment within themselves.

I don't think they love their wives if they cheat otherwise they wouldn't do it. But there may be times when they do still love their wife but there are problems with the relationship and some men would rather ignore the problems and cheat than work things out with their wife.

Because married men get tempted just like single men and married or not people get tempted, but there are some married men who do not have self control and sense enough to run the other way when they feel that way.

Men who cheat are more dissatisfied with themselves than their partner. They are trying to build their ego in some way. I say if your man cheats get rid of him. There are others who can be faithful because they are secure with themselves.

i dont know they claim they are not being satisfied at home which is not a good reason they should not be cheating at all!

just the same reason as married woman cheat, both males and females do it. They get bored, they rush into marridge in the first place, or they just get sucked into someone else showing them some effection.

Married men who cheat are obviously lacking something....not that its the wifes fault...they could be lacking emotional intellagence. I don't think a cheater could possibly love their spouse...how could they betray someone like that and love them?

Whether man should cheat his depend entirely on the personality and beauty of his wife. Suppose that he saw an attractive woman at work, or at any place, he might fall in love with her and they might some day enjoy bodily moments. In such case, he is cheating his wife. But if the wife is beautiful enough to attract his attention, he might keep on loving much in the way as the woman he met. If his wife is ugly compared to his new found lover, then there are chances that his love toward his wife might starkly reduce.

this can be avoided by marrying a woman that you don't find unattractive. it would also help to marry someone for something more than their looks. yeah, you should find your wife physically attractive, but if that's the basis for your relationship then your shallow relationship will not last long.

some married do love their wives very well but they sometimes fall to temptations and start to cheat on these their beloved maybe out of frustation or some other forms of external forces

No, i don't think they love their wives anymore. If the love still exist, they won't have the slightest thought & the heart to do it.

Because they can get away with it. Men have learned over the years that women will stay with them after they cheat on them especially if they have kids. So they do what they want and then go on talks shows and cry and say Im so sorry you are the best thing that ever happened to me and we take them back. Stop the insanity!!!!
