Why do cheaters expect everyone else to be faithful?

Question

Just curious to know why cheaters expect their wives/husbands and lovers to remain faithful. Why do they get mad when the other one wants to date or have s*x with someone else?

Answer 1

I could care less if my wife wanted an affair or not. I know I did for 20 years and I feel great.

Answer 2

Because they need something solid to come home to, whats the point of cheating when it doesn't matter. You've heard the old saying stolen fruit tastes better. When the wife/husband is doing it also all the excitement goes out of it, and any way when your partner cheats on you they don't love you anymore anyway so why not end it there and then and save all the misery.

Answer 3

I think it's because they think they are the only ones who can be sneaky and can get away with it. Everyone else in their life can't be like them bad and sneaky.

Answer 4

Because they are selfish and have double standards.  "I can but you can't"...what a load of c**p!

Answer 5

because they are insensitive, they don't want their ego hurt, like they hurt yours.they aren't comfortable getting back what they gave, they want to be in total control of everything, and when they aren't it makes them insecure.

Answer 6

arrogance, hypocrisy  generally why the cheater cheats in the first place. they have rights there spouse doesn't (in their own mind of course)

Answer 7

Agree with D11.  

Answer 8

because they like to believe that they are the only one in your life. they forget that they go home at night to sleep with their spouses while you are at home waiting for them to call. while they are celebrating the holidays with their family and you are looking stupid waiting to see if they will come over

Answer 9

because they want control in a situation

Answer 10

I was completely and totally committed to my ex, never, ever cheated on her...never even thought about it. Her being suspicious of me, however, should have been my first clue. Interesting how they (cheaters) expect what they aren't able to give. I agree with another poster, their egos would not be able to stand it.

Answer 11

easy....they are selfish and want the best of both worlds

Answer 12

It is their way to tell everyone else : repent.

Answer 13

Cheaters cheat because they are insecure.  They always need somebody else to to validate their worth.  Even if they have the perfect, loving mate, they feel that they need someone else to make them feel good about themselves.

Can you imagine a person like that being cheated on???  Never put up with a cheater, but sure feel sorry for one.

Answer 14

because they feel so guilty about cheating , they can't even trust themselves. let alone anyone else, and god forbid the other half cheated back on them, they become irate and indignant.And because they have no morals or values, they expect their other half to be perfect and wait home for them while they are out cheating around.There is only room in one family for one cheater,LMAO!! I don't think the cheater could stand the competition of the other half cheating too,lol!!

Answer 15

lol...That is a very good question and i have asked myself the same...They feel superior to the partner and feel it would be impossible to turn from them  away, they are the whole package. That's why they share themselves with others .... They're slogan is = everybody wants a piece of that Prime Rib... but of course they  know they're partner would not do that because they pick the serious ones only if they have high standards in relationships ..so they think of a way to self protect...lol
