Today in this world that we are living in,you can fine a lot of married men cheat on their wife.But why? I am happily married for a year now, and i make use i comfort my husband an satisfy his need and want at home and make him comfortable. I my husband works,and anytime he is not working he is always home with me. I don't know if he is cheating on me,but i he spend most of his time home when he is not working.An i know he would not cheat because we are a christian. I know know Married men cheat even, when their wife are taking good care of them. So my question to you,is why married cheat on their wife's? 1.why do married mean cheat? 2.do you think married mean cheat more than married woman? I hope to get a lot of respond from you all,with different views thank you.

There are always excuses as to why they do. I do not know the answer outside of saying that it can be done by both men and women and don't know who does it more. In my opinion they should just let go of their partner instead of cheating. I have always said that I would respect my partner more if he came and said this is not working and I want out, as opposed to being so hurt after finding out he has cheated. While some say they can work through it bless them and glad they can. All I can say is that I will not tolerate a cheating spouse. Been there, felt it and will never tolerate it again. I deserve the same respect I give forth to my loving one.

I agree with you, a lot because respect is due where respect is coming. I would cheat on my husband,i made a vow to him.If its not working then we get a divorce.My husband is a christian ,he will not break his vows and cheat.

As studies show, men are naturally polygamous. They can't stick to only one. Personally, even though how kind and loving a man is, he will always have that infidelity genes. Well, I'm not saying that your husband is unfaithful to you, we're on the same page. My boyfriend is also a very nice guy. I never saw him flirting with girls. Whenever he is free from work we are always together. So there's really no reason for me to suspect that he is disloyal to me. I always have the instinct that he will do it. As many woman who I know would say, "cheat as long as you want but don't get caught." Yeah it sounds kinda stupid but it is reality. Men would always look for other woman but that doesn't mean they'd leave the woman they love the most.

Yes... STUDIES SHOWS... that should explain well I guess... and I would agree on the last sentence there Nikki... Men "might" always look for other women but that doesn't mean they would leave the woman they love the most, specially if they married that woman. :-)

Most of the men who cheat it is not because of the wife but because they are more concerned with them self than with other people. They are very self centered and don't care about the other person's feelings.

Men who cheat ,are the greedy one who love more than one woman.yes sometimes its not the wife but their greed for more.Men cheat because they want to,an some of they feel like they have the world when they have more than one woman. If your know you want more than one woman why get married in the first place?

hello, I am not yet married, I just want to have some opinion in this topic because it really sounds interesting and besides my father do that, that is why my parents got divorce. Well, my point of view here is because the man is playboy that is one reason here that he never contented in one girl even he promise to his wife that he will change. right? second is because he is not contented or satisfy? third because they are fix marriage. And so many more.

For me not just married men cheated but also married women. In my point of view, in a relationship where lack of trust, love and respect, cheating might happened to both.

Not in all marriages and relationship,Lack trust an respect. Some spouse respect their marriage .while some don't an those are the one who cheats. Both married woman and man cheat,but some people say that the man cheat more because of different reasons. A marriage with out trust and respect and Love is no marriage at all,Married must base on those three things .

I think men and women cheats equally maybe because they were not contented with the person they are with and they are blind to see the importance of their partner. These men and women only thinks of their own happiness and themselves. I pity them because they don't realize that they are a sinner in the eyes of God and what will happen to them in return.

this is true,some partners only think about them self.why get married if you know your going to cheat? These men and woman need to know that,when say their wows it was between man and god. And when they cheat they have,done adultery. I am married,and i have never cheat on my husband and i will never will cheat.

I think alot of married men cheat on their wives because they like to sleep around with more than just one person. I think there are more men who cheat than women. Some men just do not abide by the laws of marriage. They really do not want to settle down.

I think that there are alot of different reasons someone cheats..like when there is something missing in the relationship....or when chemestry over rides the wedding band. I don't know who cheats more...I think it just depends on the situation.

There are many reasons that have been used to explain why some men do cheat. I don't think that there one specific reason that may apply to all. However, I don't think that it really excuses their actions and behavior. I don't think that there really is a reason to cheat.

Lot of married couple cheat because of lock of misunderstood, and good communication.I am married,and i have never cheated on my wife.Because i don't have any reason to,she is the best thing that ever happen to me. couple cheat because they want more ,than what they are getting at home.A wife should make their husband feel comfortable,and love same goes for the husband too.

Hi tash01...How are you..? Good to hear that your husband is not cheating on you. Today I have a friend who confessed that her husband is cheating on her and it really break her heart and need someone to talk to release someone of her heartaches.I can really relate everything she'd told me because I had experience all of those pains and hurtful situations.And now I believe that everything happen for a reason. My husband also cheated to me before and now that it is my turn to share to my friend what to do and not to do based on my experiences. Somehow today, I realize and would like to thank that I had also encountered before about husband cheating because It made me more mature and I am able to handle situation when it come to that matter.And I am not easily affected, jealous and hurt when I hear to see bad things. We really have to experience being wounded in order to learn to heal others wound.

Everybody cheats. You just did, right there; oh, you didn't act on the cheating, but you just thought about the choice you have. That's Lucifer's hope, that you save him by choosing the righteous path (rather than choosing the sinful path and turning him into satan). Because when you choose the righteous path that's a gift you deliver to God. Why can't God appreciate the reason Lucifer shines his light on that choice (to create a gift for God)? Anyway, these bodies were built to 'be fruitful and multiply'---men by spreading the seed (and providing for the fruit); women by bearing the fruit and nurturing it into maturity. "Of the spirit," there's only one spouse for each individual--one man for one woman, one woman for one man--but "human" MEANS 'of the mud' (NOT 'of the spirit') so--as long as he is human--a man will carry the tendency to 'spread the seed.' "Woman" means 'with man' ("wife" being the fruit of the word 'with'), so the tendency is weaker in her---trumped by the tendency to be 'part of' one man.

Married men cheat because as they say, "men are polygamus in nature", meaning they cannot be satisfied with one partner. I dare say that in our society, when a man cheats on her wife..it is considered acceptable. Whereas if a wife cheats on her husband, she is considered most vile and is treated with extreme dislike. It ain't fair, but its reality.

for a different views, i think what all i can say is that the Man is slow growing up compare to Woman.... the Woman looked very different at the age of 40 compare to the looks when she was at 20's before.... while the Man looked still the same at the age of 40 compare to his appearance during his 20's before... therefore, the beauty of the girl really expires but the attitude doesn't... it is preferable for such a man to have a woman partner at least 10 years of gap because woman grows older more rapid compare to man. by the time a 40 year old man with a partner of 40 year old woman, both of them shopping in the mall for fun... and suddenly a 20 year old or a teenager girl is standing beside that 40 year old man, that man's eye can't resist but to look at the beauty appearance of that teen girl while her 40 year old girl partner looking mad while staring at his 40 year old man partner.....
