Answer 4

Answer 5

One must assume that his wife is also 49.

Have you ever tried to married to a menopausal woman?

I have and it isn't pretty.

If this guy did it right, the other woman is like, 28.

Answer 6

it has to be an unhappy, unsatisfying relationship  

Answer 7

Could be that he was unhappy in a relationship; could be that he was bored or complacent; could be curiosity; could be thrill-seeking behavior; could be he's insecure and looking for a ego boost; could be that the opportunity presented itself and he took it.

Answer 8

he has been holding it in for years and has reached his breaking point. Shouldnt have to tell the wife when and how to please. She should know after 16 years and chose not to.

Answer 9

A lot of people would blame this on mid-life crisis, but I think he was bored and unhappy with his wife. Perhaps he's been viewing pornography, and he has allowed it to instill an unhealthy sexual appetite in him, as well as some very unreal expectations in his marriage relationship. Perhaps his wife let her appearance go, and she had been rejecting her husbands advances.

The reality of the situation is that he probably had been thinking about this and fantasizing about doing another woman for a very long time. A perfectly monogamous man doesn't wake up one day and say,"Hmm... I think I'll cheat on my wife today." It doesn't work that way. He may have been monogamous on the outside, but in his heart he was open to the idea of being with someone else. This is why some married men flirt and spend time with someone other than their wives ~ they're open to the idea of being with someone else.

A man who is determined to be faithful to his wife doesn't see how close he can get to the fire before he gets burned. This 49 year old man allowed himself for whatever reasons, to get too close to someone else, and as the old saying goes ~ one thing leads to another.

Answer 12

Every single person has a breaking point.  Every one, no matter how committed has one scenario in which everything lines up perfectly for them to cheat.  For some it is just availability.  For others it is the right person at the right time in their marriage life....

I would say everything just 'lined up' and his breaking point was met.

Answer 13

There's a such thing as male psychology? Who knew...

Answer 14

It's possible that it is related to s*x.  His wife feels like she's tired of s*x and he's not.  He's tired of being turned down.  Rather than force his wife to do something that she says she doesn't want to do he's found someone who will give it to him.  This also make him young again.

Answer 15

Most men go through a change like women do.

We usually want 2 feel younger, so we do things we think will make us feel younger.

That is why there is so much on TV about viagra & Cialis.

Answer 16

Because you stink in the sack.
