    I think it needs to be called excuses people use and not reasons.
    And it really depends on how strong you are as a person.
    There's been times when I really hated my husband but never had the urge to cheat.

    A) Mostly because they don't equate monogamy with love
    B) They want to know they're still sexually desirable to someone other than their s. o.
    C) Variety... in all its forms
    D) They rationalize that one is just sex, but I really care for my s. o. and am loyal in every other way, but I won't abide by this "no sex with anyone else for the rest of your life" rule.

    There is only one reason people cheat: because they are a worthless pieces of shit and the lowest scum that crawls the Earth. These are all excuses those pieces of shit make, but its all bullshit. The above reason is literally the ONLY real one.

      What would you call cheating, if not malicious? If you don't like the relationship, get out. Anything other than that is excusing shitty behavior.

    i mean as a girl i can understand that there is a diffirence between love and sex. If i was married to someone who i love and he loves me and fucks some random girl that he feels nothing towards for 15 minutes its not a big deal, it was just physical pleasure, he doesn't love her, he loves me thats why he comes home to me not her, not a big deal

      @lord_chilled It's funny that when someone presents facts or opinions they don't like, they feel like throwing out random insults, whether they know what they are talking about.

      Fact is, every mascot developed country has a divorce rate of over fifty percent. What does that mean? That means people with or without parents will have a marriage that will end in sight divorce. Every successful or failedmarriage is almost a literal coin flip.

      Yes, there are exceptions, but these days, in a world that's no longer sexually oppressed, the need and practicality (if it was ever "practical") is dwindling.

      Lol, did that offend you?

      Im sorry, but the reason western countries have such high divorce rates is because you decided to go apeshit with your "sexual revolution" and f*ck around like degenerates. Now you have ruined yourself for marriage. Congrats!

      In traditional countries, where people act with decendy, the divorce rate, is much, much lower.

      @lord_chilled Or is because the family is to busy working ever waking hour in the field or sweat shop to be fucking around. But even that's not true. Divorce rate and promiscuity are not mutually exclusive. Divorce in western civilization stems more from financial woes more than infidelity. Even so, I have no doubt those "traditional countries," whatever that is, are fucking fucking around like rabbits too. Human nature doesn't adhere borders.

      Lol , financial woes just as much of a problem in traditional countries, even more so if those countries are poorer.

      That doesn't cause divorce there.

      The fact is that this "sexual revolution " ruined your women and hence ruined marriage.

      In traditional countries, they dont fuck around like this, because a womans sexual purity is valued, and sluts are exposed.

      And no one is willing to marry a slut. Same goes for men roo, albeit women can be slightly more forgiving.

      And the less previous partners you have jad, the more likely your marriage is to succeed.

    I think cheating depends on the kind of person you are an normally if they do it once they'll do it again.

    There's absolutely no reason that justifies cheating. It's a dishonest act and betrayal. Break up with your SO if you aren't happy with them and then move on to greener pastures..
