Search Results: why married men cheat

Ok I'ma describe him:

He never had much growing up as a child. His dad and mum were pretty simple minded? And his dad suffered from mental health issues. His dad was also quite an angry man from what I've heard, although he did love his family.

When he was 17, he dated a girl who was... wild. She cheated recklessly on him, became addicted to drugs and also had mental health issues, which he often had to deal with. In the end, that girl slept with someone else, left him, then got pregnant to some other guy shortly afterwards. He was pretty messed up about that.

Since the age of 17-30 he's had 15 sexual partners and was cheated on... multiple times. Some of the partners were one night stands.

At the age of 26, his dad died suddenly of a heart attack and he was left feeling absolutely devastated with a lot of regrets. About 6 months later, his mum who had been suffering from cancer, died too. So he was left alone with his brother and sister. His brother has severe mental health issues and has been suicidal before. He lives with his brother to this day, and his brother is very difficult to be around.

His sister then married a drug addict and gave birth to a disabled baby not long after.

And then? I met him. He took a liking to me because I 'wasn't like the other girls'. Things went ok. He could always connect physically with me? Tell me he loved my body, or that I had great boobs and looked sexy etc.

But trying to draw out any emotions was... so difficult. He never wanted to have deep emotional conversations. He could never apologise when he was wrong, his moods would swing constantly, he never seemed to pick up on my feelings and everything just felt so emotionally shallow.

He claimed to love me and all, but I could never truly love him because he seemed so emotionally dead at times. Of course, things turned bitter, didn't they? And he ended up getting really angry with me, so we split.

Today, he's still resentful towards me. And any kind of emotion he once had is... completely gone. Yeah, he'll still flirt and all, I sometimes wonder why that's the only way he will communicate with me.

I'm still a virgin and all, so we never had sex.

So, do you think he sounds damaged? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Ok so me and my ex had been dating for 7 months when we broke up. I am currently 7 months pregnant and we've been broken up for a month now. He woke up one day acting completely different and distant. I asked him what was wrong but he said he was just stressed. He started going out drinking and being with his family more. I finally understood that he had probably fallen out of love with me. I don't know why but he did, maybe another girl, family issues, etc. He told me that I make him unhappy and that we were better off without each other. We were together on and off for 3 years and had planned on getting married and having a baby. He picked a ring out and starting using pills to make his sperm count higher. He said he wanted to be in our daughters life no matter what. So he wants the child but the mother. I feel like an incubator. This wasn't unplanned and he seemed so happy when I told him. Then one after we broke up, he turned around and said he doesn't think y the baby is his. I NEVER cheated so this hurt very much. We lived together but he's moving out, putting his stuff in storage, and staying with his sister... isn't that a little much? He blames me for our breakup saying I stopped loving him, I changed, I started hating him, I never listened to his problems etc. I was never told about these issues at the time and if so I'm pregnant and my mind is constantly on the baby and work. I just wanted my pregnancy to be one of the happiest times in my life and to share it with the one i started it with. Now it's full of stress and heartbreak. I just don't understand what I did so wrong to have the man i was building a future with leave me...
