Men cheat for a variety of reasons and most of the time there is no reasoning involved at all on their part. Men cheat for three reasons; the availability of willing women, just for the fun of it and unhappiness in a relationship.

Women today are more liberal when it comes to who they allow to touch their bodies for pleasure.  This new ease with which they are willing to cheat with men who are already in relationships seems to be the signs of the time. In fact, some women are looking for married men in which to have relationships. sexual and otherwise, because they do not want to get involved in  a serious relationship.

The availability of these women who are ready and willing to get involved with attached men sets the stage for these men to venture out and play in auxillary relationships. These auxillary relationships are mostly for sex with the understanding anything further is not possible. Men cling on to what they have at home because they are possessive and may have put a lot into the relationship that he is cheating on. Very rarely do a man leave his wife for another woman.  He may break up a relationship and stop calling, but most married men go back to their wives. However if the wife finds about the cheating, it is up to her whether or not to accept him back.

Women are very emotional beings and this schism of feelings puts them in a position to lose their self esteem. They lose their self esteem because emotion is the ebbs and tides of their  feelings and makes them more vulnerable to be hurt. More often than not, their feelings are  headed downwards if certain expectations from their men are not met. It takes a strong woman who is true to herself and know who she is as a person to stay up during emotional situations and up to the task of being and feeling confident.

This emotional facet of a woman's being puts her in a position where she will put her self esteem out there thinking that the married or attached man will lift her feelings up. The vulnerable woman thinks that she needs to have a man to reassure her worth even if he belongs to someone else. She will set out a Friday night aside for him knowing that he is married but knowing that she needs to be in the arms of a man regardless of his status to feel loved and wanted. Women of this genre have low self esteem and do not expect anything in return from him except his phone call with a place for them to meet.

The availability of these women makes it really easy for the man wanting to cheat to follow through without any tinge on his conscious. Men cheat because of these women out there outside of their relationship willing to be available to them in their times of needs. Men may think of the relationship as purely physical and that is okay with them. Some of these men tell these needy women that they are married knowing that the statement will not make a difference in their sexual attraction to each oher.

If less of these women with low self esteem were available; maybe men will not cheat because they have a sexual partner at home. However, because of the emotional makeup of women, men will continue to cheat because more often then not they can find that type when they want to go out and play.

That brings us to the second reason why men cheat. Men cheat for the fun of it. This desire to have fun is more prevalent when it comes to men and cheating because they are more physically bound to sex than women are. Women are in a relationship for the loving and emotional part of belonging to someone who cares about them. Even the women who cheats with attached men are looking for love more so than sex but do not divulge their true feelings thinking they may lose their man.

To understand why men cheat because  of the fun of it, you have to look at the good feeling of going off of a weight loss program and allowing yourself a bowl of ice cream. It is plain fun to have access to  something that has been denied to you. Having fun is human nature and men are flowing over with abundance of thinking they need to eat from the cookie jar when they have been told not to. Women mature faster than men psychologically because they are filled with emotions and take responsibility for their feelings. Men like to play and to have fun. Look at their attraction to sports well into their older years. This propensity to have fun makes men want to cheat and take a dip from the ice cream box or to take a cookie from the cookie jar.

Men who cheat are more often than not fun loving men who sees no problem cheating because that is what life is all about, right? When these type of men cheat, they are not thinking about who they are hurting  at home and and that he may be hurting them with these extra marital affairs. These fun loving men who cheat are always out with their friends and it is easy to add a another girlfriend with his host of friends. This type of man who cheats more often than not will not tell the woman that he is married because he thinks that he is entitled to have fun. He is however, smart enough not to let his wife find out about his escapades because he is intelligent enough to know that he must have a home to come back to once he leaves the bed of his fun partner.

The third reason that men cheat is what women think is the major reason and may be the further from the truth. Men cheat because they are unhappy in the marriage or the relationship. When a man leaves after a heated argument from his wife or girlfriend, more often than not he is headed to that availabe woman out in the street who does not talk to him about their financial situation. The woman at home who the man is cheating on, may sense that he is cheating and may even confront him. Women knows when a man is cheating if she knows that he is unhappy in a relationship. He does not reach for her for sex because he has found his satisfaction outside of her bedroom. He comes home later and later from work and then avoids her thinking that any conversation will bring up arguements about finances.

Women often blame themselves when their man is unhappy in the relationship. Why? Because women think they are supposed to be relationship specialist and their job is to keep their man happy in the relationship. When the man is unhappy, they think that it is something that they have done to bring him down emotionally. Cosmopolitan magazine is always wrting articles about what the woman can do to spruce up a relationship as do most women magazines. Women magazines do not ever say what the man can do to make the relationship better. These types of publications further fester the woman into thinking that she is to blame if her partner is unhappy in the relationship.

Men cheat when they are unhappy in the relationship and find other places like the bed of another woman to make themselves happy and content again. Men cheat because there are women available out there for them to have sex without any strings attached. Men cheat because they think that it is a fun thing to do especially if it is forbidden.

Keeping a man from cheating is not the woman's job and she is not totally responsible for the status of the relationship. It takes two to make a relationship work and two to keep the relationship working in a state of happiness. If you find out that your man is cheating, the two of you should seek counseling if the relationship is worth saving. The woman should not blame herself  when her man cheats because she is not in the relationship alone.
