Infidelity....Why Husbands Cheat

Updated on March 15, 2011

Infidelity 

As the biggest cause of Divorce, Knowing why men cheat may be the very information wives and brides to know to save their relationships, as most of the causes for infidelity can be prevented with a bit of time, work and love.

Excitement.

Some men cheat to reclaim the excitement of the lives, finding out that the life they thought they wanted, has more responsibility to it and less fun, especially after children are added to the mix. The life of being a husband and father day in and day out can become rather boring for some guys.

So the thrill of new conquest, a new relationship where, everything not just the sex, is stimulating to them. This is a very physical only relationship, most men who cheat for this reason are not looking to form an emotional bond, It about the physical thrill, of something different.

Ego

Sometimes men cheat on their wives due to a lack of self esteem. Men have all the same hang-up as women do when they look in a mirror and see their aging self. Cheating on their wives is a way to boost their ego, recapture their youth. To not see the rounding middle or bald patch developing. no longer willing to sit by and let life pass them, men who cheat for this reason are often labelled as having a mid life crisis.

Emotional disconnection.

It’s easy to look elsewhere when there is no connection at home; feeling under appreciated and over looked by their wives makes cheating an emotional life line to some of the men who cheat for this reason.

Lack of interest from their partner in what they are doing, wearing or even how work went, can make them vulnerable to outside interests from a third party. Being told they are worth something, and needed go's a long way in turning, a man's head. Just as it does for us women.

Men have all the feelings that we do with only half the skills to express it. Men want to make their wives proud, to please them and to feel like they are providing well. They need this connection with their wives or they will look for it elsewhere.

Sex

As sexual creatures men actually need to have sex, and if they are not going to have it with you then they will find someone else to have it with.

Not all of us are porn stars, and thank god that’s not what most husbands need. But one of the biggest reasons that sex can be a factor in your husband cheating is about how much sex you having together.

Men need to know that they are going to be satisfied by their wives, they need to know they can bring home any sexual frustrations to you their wife.

It is not about how good the sex is, or wether or not you swing of the chandeliers. It’s about frequency, about the time spent being intimate and how that makes him feel, wanted as a man a loved as a husband.

Especially if you initiate it, goes a long way to showing him how much you love and adore him and want to do something nice, just for him ( and hopefully you)


Cheater at heart

Some men, the rare ones cheat because they can, cheat because they want to, not always for the same reasons, but they enjoy the game of cheating. These men will never want to change what they do or care how their actions hurt others. The only thing to do with a man like this, in my opinion is to leave the situation behind you and keep your head held high...

If infidelity is an issue in your marriage then I recommend that before doing anything, you both take some time to talk with a marriage counsellor, to decide together if your marriage and love is worth fighting for
