Why would a man waste time on a long distance relationship If his just going to cheat?

You make a good point. If a dude is just gon cheat anyway, why even bother with a long distance relationship? It don't really make sense.

My best guess would be maybe he likes the attention and validation of having a girl, even if she's not physically around. Or maybe at first he was down, but being long distance made it easier to start slipping up without her seeing.

It's also possible he thought he'd be able to stay loyal from far away at first, but then some chick started hitting on him heavy in person and he cracked. Being away from his girl probably made it easier to tell himself it "didn't really count."

Definitely slimy behavior either way. Long distance is hard enough without suspecting the dude ain't being true. If he cared that much he shoulda ended it first before exploring other options, ya feel me?

I'm sayin to just trust your gut if something feels off, and don't let him gaslight you into questioning yourself. A real one wouldn't be acting shady from the jump like that. You deserve better than that long distance drama!

People want to cheat because they can’t control
their sexual urges. The reasons people cheat can go on for a mile, but at the end of the day it comes down to a persons morality.


They want marriage. They want kids. They want their life on the outside to be picture perfect. They think they can cheat and sleep around and not get caught.

No guilty conscience though?

Some people feel bad for things they do. But some people have moved past that. They either excuse it in their heads or don’t care anymore or enjoy being evil

Some guys are opportunistic. They talk to you now because no one else is available and LDR better than no R. But then along comes Sally. She's right here and willing to drop her panties, so he doesn't want to pass up that opportunity. And if another girl comes along, he'll cheat on Sally.

That's a fair point thanks

No one should waste their time on a LDR. They virtually always fail due to issues related to the distance.

The whole purpose of relationships is to SPEND TIME TOGETHER on a REGULAR BASIS. You can't do that if you are long distance. If you try, you are only wasting each other's time and energy, and setting yourself up for failure.

DATE LOCALLY.
