Anonymous(36-45)+1 yMen wonder the same thing about woman... and it's a skizm of our our times.. we're perpetually playing tit for tat as as we jump relationship to relationship... we forget what our responsibilities are as partners to one an other... we are often don't take enough time between partners to heal or to analyze our experience in detail that reflect both perspectives what went right . wrong.. our part.. our role.. etc
Bottom line we have to approach each new beging with a clean slate... open mind.. relaxed attitude.. taking time to get to know each other. N really pin point what you n them are all about.. it important to make up your own mind draw your own conclusions.. based on your virtues and critical thinking.. to get an understanding of that person on your own based on your perceptions for the most part. To often friends social groups n such have more influence on us than they should n our desire to fit in and be accepted we don't dare upset or destabilize our environment for fear of backlash... that diminishes our status amongst peer groups.. so with that said all past experiences shape us to a degree.. our mindset tends to get jaded n fixated on negatives n we make comparisons to past n present situation with quite irrational unsubstantiated reasoning we misjudge people
And find reasons excuses as to why we should be suspicious of them their story.. actions behaviors.. cause we were hurt in the past.. we unfairly connect dots.. dismiss sincerity of information we recieve cause we make incorrect assumptions n draw bias conclusions.. our fear of being mislead automatically puts us in a state of distrust.. and any corrective action similarly end up doing more harm than good... people are as simular to each other as they can be miles apart.. we got to recognize our selves our flaws our pros our cons. What's our weakness what we ve done wrong what we can do better.. before we enter into new relationship only to revive the demons of the past to infect the potential of a new beginning..00 Reply

+1 yI believe with people, it’s a spectrum.
Those with the strongest moral integrity would never cheat, no matter what. (e. g. Loyal to the very end, no matter if that was reciprocated or not.)
Those with moderate moral integrity, may cheat, but only in very harsh conditions. (e. g. They’re in a very dysfunctional relationship and their needs are chronically being ignored.)
Those with poor moral integrity will cheat on a whim. (e. g. There’s nothing wrong with their partner. But, they’ve come across someone more attractive, there’s a opportunity to cheat, and they take it.)
So if you find a man (or woman) with very strong integrity, you won’t ever have to worry about cheating.
But, if your partner has more of a moderate level of integrity, then be sure to always treat them well and be a good partner so that they don’t ever feel like they need an escape from you. Have a healthy and happy relationship and you’ll be fine.
If your partner has poor moral integrity, well, there’s nothing you can do. They will cheat if they come across an attractive person and have an opportunity to do so. It’s best not to be with these people to begin with so it’s important to get good at weeding them out.212 Reply- +1 y

@Chandelier8 Ah I see. I appreciate the apology and disclaimer.
Yeah, I understand what you mean. There’s a lot of guys online who are misogynistic.
There’s this battle-of-the-sexes online that seems to have been intensifying over the last several years, revealing extremists on both ends of the spectrum (woman-hating men or man-hating women).
I miss the time when there was less hostility and more harmony.
But, the best we can do is march to the beat of our own drum and be sensible ourselves, despite being surrounded by so many who are less-sensible. - +1 y
Yeah, a lot of women have a huge problem being sold off to old men as child brides, or forced to wear burkas and whipped. That sort of makes women angry. The muslim brotherhood is alive and well online.

@Chandelier8 Damn, what you described sounds exactly like what’s portrayed in the Netflix series called ‘Caliphate’ which portrays what women go through under the ISIS regime. When men online see eye-to-eye with how terrorists treat women, that’s a serious problem. It shouldn’t be that way.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

You’re welcome. 🙂
I thought it was a pretty well-done series. It’s good at portraying how a recruiter can manipulate people into joining ISIS, and the reality of life under their ‘Caliphate’.
Just to be clear though, I’m not saying that all Muslims are terrorists, as I know both men and women who are Muslim that would never condone the kind of treatment you described.
But, it’s sad to see such treatment of women being promoted by those online who blindly follow misogynistic ‘influencers’. - +1 y
I completely agree that all Muslims aren't terrorists but they ALL support pedophilia, since the Muhammed, the founder was a pedophile, who married a 6 year old girl and that is emulated throughout the Muslim world.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yUnless you're being a truly horrible person, it probably has nothing to do with you. Some people just aren't monogamous. Some people are more focused on what they want than how it will hurt you. I dated a guy who said I was the perfect partner, and I was better in every way than any woman he cheated with. so, why did he cheat? He wanted the ego boost from other women when his career and college classes were all failing. He hid it all from me, because he as afraid I would leave if I found out.
Every time he got the chance to cheat, he thought "I may never get a chance like this again. What she doesn't know won't hurt her." Until it all blew up in his face in the end. Even when I did not know, it was hurting us. It hurt our intimacy. It made it so looking back every memory was built on a lie. He put my health and safety at risk and betrayed me every day by lying. We stopped being best friends.
He said none of the girls he cheated with were worth it. He doesn't remember the details anymore, he remembers the massive fallout from it. If he could go back int he past and punch himself in the face and stop himself then he would.00 Reply

+1 yDoes only the woman have to be good enough? I would expect that the man has to be good enough too. And the two suited to each other.
No man needs to cheat on his partner unless there's something wrong with HIM. Dissatisfaction with a relationship doesn't automatically mean a man cheats or leaves.
Well-paired people work through rough spots. The point is to spend enough time getting to know each other before setting up a long-term relationship.

If she prioritizes me the same way a prioritize her , if she has a good heart and good morals and stays loyal and faithful , and doesn’t withhold intimacy and affection for long periods of time with out valid reasons and doesn’t make it all about herself , Most Girls’ don’t value intimacy and affection like guys do , and sadly that’s why she gets dumped or cheated on , when the relationship turns one sided , her way or no way , Me personally would never cheat or leave a girl that kept me satisfied and loved and wanted that doesn't make me feel like I have to beg for intimacy and affection constantly , Girls that do that are just digging their own grave. Most of us
Men express our love to her through intimacy and affection , it’s our way to feel close to her , When she decides she is no longer in to mood when it was never an issue before , she is digging her own grave because she is only thinking of herself , and sadly that’s why most guys cheat or leave her for someone else. Fir a girl to keep a guy loyal and loving to her she has to learn how to remove selfishness and learn how to not be so negative and mean and bitchy all the time , A guy doesn’t want to come home to a girl that is constantly negative about every little thing , a girl that has a list of a shit ton of things to be completed for her to maybe get onto the
Mood , when she can’t appreciate all the other things he has done for her and finds flaws in him , I have experienced this and witnessed this plenty of times to the point where this is one of the main reasons a guy walks away or cheats10 Reply- 9.6K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
u +1 yA woman does not need to do anything to "earn" my faithfulness. Men do not cheat because a woman "deserves" it, just like women don't cheat because a man deserves it. People cheat because it is exciting, they have the opportunity, they place no importance on honoring their promises. . . and all of this is an indication of a serious character flaw. I don't cheat, and I have never cheated, because it is important for me to know that I am a man who honors his promises.
As for leaving her. . . if I fell in love with her and asked her to be in an exclusive relationship with me, then I won't quit as long as she is faithful to me and continues to make a good effort to keep our relationship working.

Take my feelings into consideration before saying or doing anything.
Seek no more than she brings to the relationship.
Never assume, blame, criticize, demand, rationalize, yell or tell others what they should or shouldn't feel, do or believe.
Have a good balance of responsibility and playfulness.
Prioritize making sure both of us always feel safe, secure and special.
Prioritize clear, concise, open, honest communication.
00 Reply558 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Well for me, not cheating would be the easy part. Her simply being my partner would make her good enough for me to be faithful.
But when it comes to leaving a partner, many things could make her not good enough for me to stay. Legit think of any behaviors that could be detrimental to the health of a relationship & they could all be good reasons for leaving.

I need to see a future with her meaning I can see a way how we keep a relationship in a distant future because of shared values and goals.
I can´t promise I won´t cheat or leave a woman but I can promise that I will try to avoid it. If we have a deep connection and enjoy being around each other with a common goal and vision for our future. I´m ready to do my part.09 Reply
Asker+1 yThe first part of what you said about cheating scares me. If someone were to say that to me, I’m out.
Asker+1 yIs being loyal really that hard? I can’t imagine hurting a loved one purpose.
- +1 y
Loyalty isn't hard at all.
Asker+1 yI was talking to a guy on here and he said he cheated on his wife of 20 years. And they have two kids.
He cheated with another married woman who also had kids. He said both weren’t happy and that’s why they cheated.
Saddest part is everyone around them, including their kids, knew about their affair.
I asked him what his wife did to deserve to be cheated on. He told me she didn’t do anything.
That right there tells me that the punishment of loving someone you trust is betrayal.
Asker+1 yShe made their house a home. She loved him throughout the years they’ve been together and that was her punishment.
Asker+1 yI just find it sad that people can give you their trust and you just break it right in front of them. And you stand in front of them smirking and watching them cry with a shattered heart while yours is black and empty.
- +1 y
I agree with you that´s something I also don´t like in modern society. People feel like they walk out of an agreement because it doesn´t feel right anymore. Instead of trying to improve the situation they just look for the next best thing. But that´s not what I was thinking of. I was rather thinking of a situation where for instance my girlfriend or fiance sees me with another woman talking or being close in public. I wasn´t referring to a developing affair like in your example.
+1 yNo woman should need to do anything to discourage Her man from cheating on Her - it's basic human decency not to cheat, so I guess all She can do is not to cheat on Him Herself, as cheating on Him might trigger a revenge mechanism in Him.
As for what a woman can do to encourage Her man to stay with Her... She can simply make Him feel good with Her. Comfort Him, make Him feel useful and loved. It's true that men are usually hardwired to be warriors, but even warriors do need some downtime from time to time, otherwise they will go crazy, and a warrior gone crazy is definitely a threat to be wary of. If You can make Your man feel loved and comfortable, He will have no reason to leave You. The only reason a man could find to leave a woman is if He finds Her to be just another battle He is forced to fight, and to fight it exactly when He does need some downtime.

+1 yHonestly, if I'm incapable of providing everything necessary for the bodily health of her and our potential children, then I'm unsuitable.
As for her, it's not about doing something. It's not lying to me, not repeating a request, not trying to command me, not spraying the huouse with poisonous chemicals, not calling on the state for resources, not poisoning herself with garbage, adhering to the non-aggression principle and agreeing with me, in her own mind, about what counts as a living being.03 Reply- +1 y

Sigh, things.
+1 yThat’s kind of a trick question. It’s kind of an irrelevant one since I simply do not cheat. Never have. Never would.
I believe no matter how good a woman is (or is not) a cheater will cheat. That’s what they do. Men who just will not cheat for their own moral reasons, just don’t. There is probably a large “gray area” in between of men who are not likely to cheat but could be driven to it. I suppose a toxic woman can easily make that happen. Also, some men are weak, and if a straight up beauty Queen came along and decided she was going to seduce that man, it may be easy to wear them down.00 Reply- 388 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
+1 yHere's what I've learned about it so far in my life: relationships are about timing and people change.
You can be compatible with someone, but they could be in a completely different point in life than you, so it doesn't work out. Hell, that's half the reason why my parents got divorced, as one was a decade older.
People grow differently in their rate of growth and in what ways. So it's not about what makes a woman good enough, but a lot of is luck. Also, try to look for compatibility in where you both are in life and want out of it.00 Reply No matter what Women are not perfect, and they are hard to live with. For example, My dad has never cheated on my Mom, but Mom has not always been very nice to me or my dad. She gets upset at really small things. It is not uncommon for me to get yelled at multiple times a day just doing common normal things, that are not even wrong to do. I even get yelled at for going to the bathroom. Believe it or not, my Mom is the best woman in my life! The other women in my life are extremely finicky. They are worse then my mom because at least with my mom I don't need to worry about her leaving me. The other women, if I just happen to say the wrong thing, the friendship might be dead in just a minute and we never talk again.

Asker+1 yOr do you think she never liked any of you from the moment your dad and her got together? There are people like that but they rather stick around because they get off from your misery.
981 opinions shared on Relationships topic. For me it's about our communication, what we want in life and if we're even compatible to begin with.
If we don't have good communication then we'd have a lot of assumptions and misunderstandings. If we want different things in life, for example she doesn't want kids nor a house cuz she wants to live the Van life and travel while I want to buy a house and have a stable stationary life with kids then it wouldn't work.
I don't think we should change who we are or what we truly want to make a relationship work. We should compromise as long as it isn't changing the core of who we are.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yFirst of all, not doing this. Guys, Men-married for quite a while- when you start hearing no way more than yes at home-how does that make you feel? ?
Being the woman who makes her man feel lucky to have her is the answer. How to do that will vary from man to man, but its usually some combination of making him feel loved, valued and appreciated, going above and beyond to satisfy him in the bedroom, and being a loyal partner.
Both partners should put the other's needs before their own. That is a recipe for a successful and lasting marriage/relationship. But it only works when BOTH partners do it.
