10 Reasons Men Cheat

The 10 Most Common Reasons Men Cheat 

1)      Because the opportunity arouse.  If a woman offers sex, he might take the opportunity because it is an ego boost.  Men don’t get offered sex as often as women.  If he is offered a “no strings attached” romp between the sheets, many men will take it.

2)      They aren’t feeling attractive.  Men sometimes cheat because they want to assure themselves that they are still attractive to other women.

3)      You have grown apart and he begins an emotional affair with a woman with whom he has a lot in common.  She seems to understand him.  This is a slippery slope and often cumulates into a sexual affair.

4)      Your relationship has slipped into a cycle of endless arguing and criticism.  He doesn’t have the desire to have sex with you, but he still has the desire to have sex. 

5)      Your relationship has become too comfortable, like a roommate arrangement. Having sex with you is like having sex with his sister.  He will want to seek out some excitement and often it is through an affair.

6)      Your sex life is boring.  You can predict what you will do and for how long.  Routine sex lives breed extreme boredom.  If there is no excitement, he may have an affair just to break the boredom. 

7)      A man may have an affair as revenge for his wife/girlfriends infidelity.  He can’t get beyond his hurt feelings, so he wants you to feel as badly as he does.

8)      He doesn’t think he will get caught.  He is so smart that he can pull the wool over your eyes.  The thrill is in the deceit.

9)      If they had a previous affair and you let them get away with it, he might just cheat again.  Cheating is horrible, but it can also be a wake up call for your relationship and an opportunity to build true emotional intimacy while you work through it.  If you brush the affair under the carpet, you’ve missed an opportunity to improve your relationship.  Cheating will probably occur again.

10)  Sex becomes a race.  She wants it over quickly because she is tired, preoccupied or just not in the mood.  She wants him to cross the finish line quickly.  Cheating allows him to explore a partner who will take the time to have sex and enjoy the process.
