Why do married people cheat?

I think that many people have the outlook that the grass is greener on the other side. People are so use to having what they want when they want it....if your partner does not want sex...well then I wont bother to find out why....I will just go get it somewhere else.

I have never really understood how ANYONE could put there partner....the one that they supposedly are in love with and SAID they wanted to be with forever through the pain and hurt of an affair. If things are that bad then leave don't just go and find something on the side.

I believe married people cheat because theire needs aren't being meet. I want to stress the fact that people don't cheat just because there not getting enough or quality sex from ther spouse.

Case & Point:

When a man doesn't get the RESPECT, ADMIRATION,and AFFECTION they will stray. You could be better than the best Porn Star in bed, but if the above three things are a issue with you and your husband...your husband will be some whores boyfriend in no time!!! Men must feel respected, admired, and get affection every single day. If you have had serious problems w/your husband in the past and find it hard to respect him, respect the fact that he's a good father, a provider, etc. Alot of men aren't good husbands but there great Dad's.

Another tip ladies, men are excited by what they see, no man wants to come home to a wife that still has rollers in her hair, funky old house clothes, and slippers. Do your hair, put on a litlle lip gloss, and work out a little. Lika Mama said: How you got him, is how you keep!!

And women are no different, if we don't feel exclusive, valued, and loved we will stray to some fool that hasn't a clue, but he's good at complimenting her attire, or soft kisses on the check all the time, etc. It's little things/needs that aren't meet that cause people to destroy families.

Believe it or not, cheating is just a symptom of the real problem in a relationship. It isn't THE problem. When you get married, every problem you ever had before the marriage is magnified X100. Family relationships, money, kids, jobs, etc. all take a toll on a couple. When a couple stops communicating effectively they seek out other alternatives. Some people simply get bored of the same routine everyday. When one in a marriage is hurt for some reason they also act out in certain ways and this is one of them. It isn't usually done to hurt the other person but usually to console themselves. Yes, it's selfish but it's done. Sometimes on a rarity we marry the wrong person and find our true love later.This is when cheating is no longer cheating but becomes something from nothing.

for several reasons there are problems in the relationship, needs rnt being met, unhappiness with themselves or there partner, low self esteem, depression. they dont love there spouse but cant bring themselves to leave, possibly dont love themselves either.

those r same reasons single people cheat on there b/f or g/f too its not just a married person thing or problem.

I really dont know.Im trying to figure that one out all the time.Im 51 years old and as we speak my husband is cheating on me.

Im asking for a divorse today.Im sorry if this is happening to you.

Some are selfish and don't care if they hurt their spouse.

Some are immature and think it will solve their problems.

Some don't care about the vows they spoke.

Some simply think it is their privilege to hurt as many people as they can in one lifetime.

Thats a good ?? I found that my xhusband lived his temptations.. I think in my situation its all about self control. Everyone should know their limits.. Unfortunately some explore beyond the limits.. and they can not resist the temptation in all of it.. I think for my x it was exciting, something different.. and of course he lied aboout it for months..

Ask my dad. Maybe its fun to know the secretary in the tight little skirt is getting wet thinking of you.

Being very tempted. Not really ready to settle down. Not happy in their marraige. Want something different in their life that they don't want from their spouse. I can go on.

Because they are immature and self centered and think they are smart enough to get away with it or are such jackasses that they don't care who knows.
