    Lack of intimacy and affection, , always putting him down and not making him feel valued or appreciated, , always nagging and complaining to him that he isn’t the man you wanted him to be , comparing him to other people , pretty much lack of respect and consistently disrespecting him , nothing he does is ever good enough , never admitting you are wrong , he is always to blame , these are just some things that could push a guy to cheat on you if you don’t want a guy to cheat , learn to respect him the way you want to be respected, learn to remove selfishness from yourself and make him your top priority over anyone else , over your friends’ over your family , Love him the way you want to be loved in return , set boundaries together and follow those boundaries the same way you want him following for you , Your partner should always be your number 1 , if you have a problem you fix it together , not run to someone else

      He's talked to me ina certain tone as well. He's never supported me in anything. We have 2 kids together but raised over raised 3 he gets upset when he heard me say that. Only now within last year has he really paid me any mind now that my kids are grown. O yeah I turned 40 &a grandma too. What th fuck? Not cool
      He's always been my to priority I've never even been anything close to a priority to him. I had ac- section went home he went straight to work right never thought twice about it left me home with newborn &toddler never even called to check on me much less us. He only stayed with me cuz he felt sorry for my 1st born daughter. Then I got knocked up with his 1st my 2nd so now he felt obligated to stay with me. The only reason he ever even married me was cuz I kept saying he wouldn't
      Sounds like true love & really being universal with each other don't it?

      Sadly it sounds like you allowed yourself to be treated that way , probably thinking love would save the day , but the truth is you ended up with an asshole that only really cared about himself and someone you should of walked away from a lot sooner than later

    Cheating is almost always the result of opportunity, typically coupled with temporary weakness. There may be many specific reason why a husband would cheat on his wife, or a wife cheat on her husband, but without the opportunity, cheating isn't going to happen.

    Men who are satisfied in their relationship and grateful for their partner don't cheat. Satisfy your man and give him reason to be grateful, and he will remain loyal.

    Ultimately, men and women cheat for the very same reasons. People love to say that women who cheat do it because they are emotionally unsatisfied, so they blame men for not giving their partner enough attention and affection. But men also cheat because they are emotionally unsatisfied. The difference is that men and women need different things to feel emotionally fulfilled. For men, emotional satisfaction comes through feeling appreciated and respected, AND being sexually satisfied. Very different from what makes women feel emotionally satisfied... attention, affection.

    Women need sex too, but it does not play the same role in their emotional satisfaction as it does for men. And because sex is involved, it's much easier for women to claim men are selfish when they cheat, which is very intellectually dishonest. Men and women have different needs. Claiming men are more selfish than women for needing to feel fulfilled is wrong.

    You can do everything right and give him sex and food and a family and if the right girl seduces him that’s all it takes. If the wrong girl seduces him, even if you don’t give him regular sex and food and a family, likely he won’t cheat. That’s how it is. Most men don’t give up on an upscale in sexual life if they’re THAT seduced. She doesn’t even have to look better than you as long as they achieve seduction and tease so much where he can’t no more. That’s a sad truth. It goes hard and it takes a lot for the man to turn it down.

    that’s why many times you see them crying to the wife after.
    but not all of them, some of them are actually willing to just end it with the wife and go for the new one because they had better sex. Even if the other one did everything right.

    Take for example Shakira, she was even willing to forgive and forget and yet he wanted her to know about it to just end all with her no matter what.
    while others beg and beg and never go back to the one they cheated with, it just happened after seduction even if they love the “wife”.

    If a girl gives a guy any attitude
    As starts being a bitch for no reason
    Where she's too hard on him
    And he's doing the best he can
    But she keeps pressuring
    He's gonna secretly resent her for it
    And lose respect
    And get that satisfying reward pleasure for himself elsewhere
    Like a little kid disobeying their parent
    And doing something they know they're not supposed to
    Guys get a ADHD thrill out of cheating just like that
    It's a ego booster for them
    Whenever they feel they've done just about enough
    But aren't getting the understanding recognition of compassion they know they deserve

    A woman is supposed to show they're grateful
    By pleasing a man sexually

    If they don't give a fuck why should the guy

    So if they don't get one they're still gonna make sure
    They have one

    And what better fun
    Than without her permission?

    She ain't his Mom to tell him what to do

    Here's all the reasons I've heard. The number one, far and away, is being with a wife that treats him disrespectfully. Talking down to him, being aggressive and rude, etc... Second most common is him being cheated on, even if he can't prove it. Third most common is having no, or barely any sex. The irony being that the woman is already cheating 99% of the time. Fourth is the woman being cold and emotionally distant. This also means she's cheating most of the time. Fifth is the serial cheaters. These guys were promiscuous from the start, and never planned on being faithful anyway.

    In my case, my wife and I hadn't had sex for ages. I tried everything to get that part of our relationship back. Nothing worked. At one point, she said, "it wasn't important [to her]".

    Eventually, time without sex, high hormones and the right opportunity "made" me do it.

    - not being in love with her anymore

    - being sexually unsatisfied by her

    - not finding her attractive anymore

    - having an opportunity to cheat and not being able to resist

    - not thinking cheating is bad

    Well a guy that comes home to peace, food, and regular sex is extremely unlikely to cheat. Remove those from a relationship and it can certainly push a guy away
