Why are men cheaters?

I just got an email from my fiances wife informing me that he is married with 4 highschool aged children. He is also 8 years older than the age he made me believe he was. Needless to say, I dumped him immediately and his wife filed for divorce. Why do men do this? did he really think that he could marry me while he was married? Did he think I would never find out!?!?

Men are not the only ones that cheat and deceive, and not all men do it. I do not cheat and I see cheating as Mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, etc... Any time I give anything to another female that should goto Mrs. Mee I am cheating weather others would see it as cheating or not. I do not even talk to other women except when it is unavoidable (ie: store clerks, cashiers, etc...), just to avoid any misconceptions. I talk to others on Forums such as this so that all can be recorded thus avoiding misconception. As for why some people cheat?!? There are numerous reasons that people cheat such as Boredom, Personal Problems, etc... Some people actually cheat just for the sake of cheating, you know, trying to get whatever they can get. When I was a ......... pig I did it just for that sake, I just wanted to get what I could get just for the sake of getting it. This is the reason why I do not even talk to another woman now, because of the way that I was. I see cheating the way I do because I know that ANYTHING can become a cheat and I do not even want it to start. Well I hope that this has helped in some way. Have a great day!!

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you (and to his family). Unfortunately, men -or women- who cheat usually don't give much thought to anyone finding out, or how it will affect the people in their lives. They tend to be quite selfish. I'd venture to say he never intended to marry you. I don't say that to be unkind but it's somewhat unusual, although not completely unheard of, for people to engage in bigamy. I hope you find someone nice who deserves your love and trust. Best wishes.

Wow!!! How on earth did he get away with it long enough for him to become your fiance? I'm glad that the wife didn't react by being mad at you and flying off the handle like you were some home wrecker. She understood that you didn't know. And it's good of you to help her with getting the divorce. He has wronged you both and his four children also. Did you see any signs that told you before his wife contacted you that something wasn't right? How long were you with him?

He was a VERY good liar. I too am glad that his wife was civil about the whole thing. It was a bit of a shock to hear and having her freak out at me would not have helped things. There weren't really any signs at all that made me wonder. I even met some of his family members and none of them said anything to me about him being married. We met in July, and have been together ever since...well, until now. I don't know how he pulled it off so well. Makes me question myself now, I don't think I will be dating for a long time :)

That's the wierd part meeting his family members and not having it told to you. That's crazy. Don't feel bad, really if I had even met members on his family and they didn't act all wierd and all then I would have thought there was no way he would be married. I think that man was born without a conscience. People like those can lie like it's nothing. I hope you find the type of love you deserve.

sometimes life shows you what you dont want to see, but remember there is always a good time after a bad time, there is always peace after war, happiness and sadness are just like curtains which are at the back of each other. so dont let you fell into this for ever and live the new (good one) chapter of your life, all men are not cheaters but by this incidence of your life atleast you can judge yourself who is good and who is not. just take care of yourself for the moment.

Well, there are certain people who are like that. Sad to say he was one of them.
