(for men) What causes a guy to want to cheat?

Question

What is the real reason a guy cheats on his wife? Is it just physical?

Answer 1

Its because he doesn't value his wife like he use to.

The reason he doesn't value his wife like he use to can be a bunch of things:  bored, tired, she changed, she complains, she's lazy, she's frigid, stuborn, ...etc.

The same can be true the other way around.

Answer 2

Not sure why men cheat.

As for the guy whom said things that wives don't do: I hug and kiss my husband every time I see him. I call and text him through out the day, just to tell him that I love him. I cook, clean and do laundry. I run errands. If he works late, I make sure I am awake for when he gets home. I still put the effort into how I look, making sure every single day I look fabulous. I stop off at his job to just see him and to tell him that I love him. I do projects for him. Write him love letters. Hold his hand. Rub his back and feet. I can't keep my hands off of him. I am very respectful, loving, supportive. We have a very close and intimate relationship. And we make love 6 plus times a week. We always go to bed together. We have a fabulous relationship.

Would this be enough to not make him cheat? He wouldn't cheat on me to begin with. There are not many women like me out there.

Answer 3

If women knew how to become "s***s" in the bedroom men wouldn't feel the need to cheat/stray. Women need to be more open minded when it comes to having s*x. Learn to play different rolls i.e. aggressive, dominant, submissive, talk dirty, act s**y when you know he's watching but he doesn't know you know he's watching, use toys in front of him...things like that.

There's a difference between s**t and w***e. I hope you people know that already. If you don't, then you need more help than I thought.

Answer 4

Lack of affection and attention lack of s*x.  

Answer 5

As someone else said  lack of s*x.

Answer 6

For the most part. Sometimes men cheat just because they want something different. Marriage really isn't biologically natural. A man wants variety sometimes and maybe he isn't too happy in his marriage. I have never actually cheated but I have thought about it a number of times. My morals keep my body in line but the mind has a tendency to wander and its those morals that instill in me the desire not to cheat even though the thought of it is enticing.

Answer 7

A lot of men are just plain pigs and will use any justification to s***w around.  Not all men cheat.  If a man treated his wife better, maybe she would do all the things the a**hole wants her to do.  It works both ways.

Answer 8

Not too sure but i asked my guy friends and they said "new coochie is always good" Wow they're pigs haha

but sometimes things are bad and they handle it by cheating or sometimes things are good but something new and exciting comes along and they don't think about the consequences of losing a good woman.

Answer 9

Ok so I am not a guy but just wanted to jump in here and offer up my side of it. I really feel like cheating on my husband daily. WHY? Because I am tired of taking care of him--I want someone to take care of me. I want someone that LOVES me. So when he comes to me and asks me why I cheated on him I know exactly what to tell him.  

Answer 10

The main reason is lack of s*x and affection.

Answer 11

Very bad relationship skills which leads to loosing the "best friends" relationship that they (presumably) started with.  

One basis of bad relationship skills (cheating) is - low/bad morals/integity and poor self esteem in the cheater or both.

It's so sad that all or most of their bad relationship stuff is easily and quickly repair IF THEY WANT TO.

Answer 12

No it's not just physical although that's a good part of it.  It's someone who will actually talk to him, listen to him, hold his hand, hug him, laugh at a joke.  All the things that wives don't do....oh, and the s*x they won't do as well.
