Do you think a man can cheat on his wife and still love her?

Question

By cheat I mean a 1 time thing sleeping with a girl.

Answer 1

No, If The Man Loved His Wife Then He Wouldn't Of Cheated On Her In The First Place.. x

Answer 2

Yes but not the same way that he used too because if a man loves his wife than he wouldn't cheated on her.  Love is a very powerful emotion and it always conquers over anything.  He just has to make sure that he shows her how much he loves her and admitting what he did and if she still decides to be with him after what he did, than he should be happy.

Answer 3

Yes. He can be having just s*x with someone else. He still loves his wife but it's possible that he isn't in love with her anymore.

Answer 4

i don't think so.....

Answer 5

if you really loved her why would you want to cheat

Answer 6

Things happen, a man (who has s*x with another woman) may not have foresaken his wife. There are many reason men get with women that are not their wife. Some are motivated NOT that they love their wife less.

Answer 7

Nope. If you really love your wife, you wont cheat on her.

Answer 8

s*x and love are two different things. I agree. But tell me when you love someone wouldn't you do anything not to hurt them? I think you would. If sleeping with someone other than your spouse, hurting your spouse is that truly love? I don't think so. See in a marriage you need both love and respect, if you cheat you don't respect your wife, how can you love someone if you don't respect them?

P.S.: Jack Daniels is not an excuse!

Answer 9

yup

Answer 10

One time or one thousand times, it's still cheating, so...the cheater can profess love, yes.  Does s/he feel love for the significant other?  Not IMHO.

Answer 11

yes, men are physical and visual and there is usually a reason why he cheats,  

Answer 12

Yes, of course. Just because you have a one-off sexual encounter doesn't mean you stop loving your spouse. Love and s*x are not the same thing.

Answer 13

no and its not even about the s*x. its about the trust part, and that's harder to fix.. if you're going to sleep with someone you obviously cant see far past into the future and see the hurt you put youre spouse through..if you cant do that that's not love

Answer 14

I seriously doubt it. Because if he truly loved her he wouldn't even consider inflicting that kind of pain on her. I speak as a survivor of my husband's affair.Trust me, it's a knife in your heart pain.

Answer 15

Absolutely.  s*x has little to do with love as far as men are concerned.

Answer 16

Yes, in certain cases.  Everybody makes mistakes and has lapses of judgment.  Fidelity is a difficult thing to maintain.  One time, slipping up and actually going there is one thing, however, while slipping more than once is not a mistake, it's a deliberate choice.  

Still, I think, like many men, that love and s*x are two different issues, and I believe that men can have s*x without emotional commitment.  I have a good friend whose wife is serious ill, and will not recover.  She cannot share s*x with him, and he takes very, very good care of her.  She has encouraged him to find someone to enjoy the physical pleasures of s*x with.  He hasn't found someone yet, but I think the story is indicative of the difference between love and s*x.  

Answer 17

Yes.  Men do cheat on wives and still care for their wives.  The real question is: why did he feel the need to cheat?

Answer 18

yes, i do and i have been married for 10 years. my hubby doesnt know that i know he cheated, but he is with me right. why should i care that he had a fling, it's not like he was a virgin and the women before me were wiped out of his history

Answer 19

Yes of course. Men do not connect s*x with love. Just because a man cheats, does not mean he does not love his wife.

Answer 20

  Yes.  s*x and love are two different things.  You can still have s*x w/ someone and not love them.  Being in love does make the s*x better in my opinion.
