    What makes married men cheat it is pretty simple. They get attention of a young ,free and single girl who compliments them wants to know all about them. It is sex and new conversation and someone who hangs on their every word.Their wife on the other hand in their eyes doesn't want sex all the time, is busy with the kids and nags him.However when the **** hits the fan he realizes he has been flattered and got far too carried away and forgotten why he was with his wife in the first place. He wont leave his wife , well very rarely and he'll drop the other woman like a hot potato when his wife finds out.

    Well if he has kids, that's the perfect reason/excuse to stay. He could be comfortable in his living situation, financial situation etc..there are a lot of reasons guys pull this crap. I would say he MUST really love his wife to not leave, but if that were true he wouldn't be screwing someone else behind her back to begin with right?

    Wife not wating sex would be my guess. A wife who is a very good wife, who loves her man, and he loves her too, but she has lost all interest in sex with him, and if the subject is brought up in an attempt to have a conversation about it or express his feelings, she gets angry at him, and becomes condecending and mean toward him.

    THis is what would drive me to cheat but still want to be with my wife.

    Source(s): Ok it looks like I did cheat, rest assured, I have never cheated on my wife. But parts of the situation explained above is true for my wife and I, but I'm working with her.

    Anything.. Most men that cheat emotionally and physically rarely leave their wives.

    There's always some wh**e that will sleep with married men. They have it made. They have a slave at home doing his laundry, cleaning for him, and taking care of the kids. And then they have a pieces of a** outside of the marriage who gives him his sexual and emotional pleasure. Why would he want to give that up?

    What amandaped25 said. Men want to have their cake and eat it too. Not all men are like that, just a majority.

    A man that is a Cake Eater. He wants to have his cake and eat it too! Pure Selfishness on his part.

    I have wondered this too as my husband has tried pulling this card out. Men want their cake and want to eat it too.

    Its just about sex. Men are not as emotionally connected to sex as most women "seam" to be.
