If a man cheats on his wife, or partner, then the fault is all his. He can always say no! Of course the reverse is also true, if a woman cheats then the fault is all hers. If one cannot control their hormonal urges, then they need to seek some medical help

I think this is something that may be the fault of both. Men have always liked the hunt...to get that elusive creature that they wouldn't normally go after just to see if they can. Alot of women are the same way..they feel their husbands don't find them attractive anymore and they go looking for that one person that makes them fel like a beautiful woman again. Marriage can get into a boring place where there is no spontanity anymore and the marriage has lost it's fizz so to say and both the man and woman need to find that spark tey once had and relight it. They need to be open to each other about the needs and desires they feel and that way they don't need to look outside the home for what they already have there. flutterby

This is where self-control and discipline comes in. Marriage isn't easy--sometimes it's just downright tough--but if both partners want to make the marriage work, and are willing to sacrifice to make it work, they will. The big thing is to put the needs of the other before the needs of one's own self. Selfishness in marriage? It can't happen.

I totally agree cool...you have to think about the wants of your mate before you think about your own. Marriage is a gamble at best, but one gamble worth taking if and when you have found that one special person that you can give body and soul to. flutterby

There is never a time that you can say that it would be her fault. It takes two people to make a good marriage and if there is something wrong with her in that relationship there is a very good chance there is something wrong with him. Cheating, either way, will not solve a problem but only make it far worse. Who ever get's cheated on, and then discovers that it has happened, looses trust in that partner that will never completely return even if the marriage continues.

No it is not her fault, and if that is his excuse for doing so, then he is just trying to make himself feel better about the bad thing that he did. No one makes someone else behave badly. If there is problems in the marriage and he is not happy then the man should be trying to work things out with his wife, not looking for what is missing out side of the marriage. If those issues can not be resolved then he should leave the marriage, not dishonor it and his wife by cheating on her. People need to work out their martial problems inside of the marriage not outside of it.

Of course it isnt her fault. I mean yes some women may be hard to live with and some of us are just plain b*tches. But even then that doesnt give anyone the right to cheat. If you find that you arent happy you should tell your spouse and either work it out or move on. Cheating isnt the answer as you are just causing more problems in an alreay troubled relationship.

It depends on the situation if its because he feel like it and cant control him self its all his fault , if there are things that his wife/husbant do to him to push him to that , its both fault , the one that cheat is always at fault . Even if they cheat on you i don't think cheating back is the best thing you can come up with . Anyway what they think - they dont think they do something mindlessly or do some kind of revenge of some kind - witch is stupid , but well :) The person that cheats is always at fault , but for the wife/husbant that maybe do something or not it really depends on the situation . And i prefer to post a topic with more double edged , cuz this sounds like only the men are cheating and thats not true ;) And well i think everyone thinks that cheating will not fix your marriage if you want to end it you can do it with more respect and not shaming yourself like that .

No, it is not her fault. If he chooses to cheat, it is his choice. He could make other choices, like choosing to work on a relationship instead of abandoning it. Or getting a divorce so he is free, before looking for another woman.
