Cheating looks to be more the norm today than it was ten years ago. You would be hard-pressed to find a woman who has never been cheated on in her life. The only women I know that have not been cheated on are nuns, and they have a special reason why. So why do men cheat? Maybe if you knew the answer to that question you could help your man, or at least understand him a little better. Well I am a man so I am a good person to ask about this. Here are some of the reasons men cheat.
Men cheat because it is an ego boost for them. Women are bombarded every single day with offers. Men on the other hand have to work for it. I heard comedian Chris Rock once say "men are about as faithful as his options are." That means if your man is Kobe Bryant he is a lot more likely to cheat on you than if your guy is a fat loser. You can combat this ridiculous mind by working to constantly build your guy up and make him feel like a king.
Men cheat because it is in their genetics. This is a common idea presented to the lady when the guy gets done. "It's in my DNA, I can not help it." I believe this is a total cop-out and should not be accepted at all. It is also in your DNA to do a lot of other socially unacceptable things and you do not do them. If your man gives you this excuse do not accept it.
Men cheat for the adventure of it. Infidelity can be an exciting rush to an otherwise mundane life. In this case the affair is more about the request than the prize. They enjoy the sneaking around and the chance of being caught. Often this is coupled by seeing their friends who are cheating. At this point their cheating becomes a competition. To combat this, keep your relationship exciting. Be spontaneous and live life a little more dangerous so that your man does not see you as boring. As for the competition aspect of this. If you feel your man's friends are cheating you should talk to him about it. Ask him how he feels about what they are doing. Do not go and talk to their wives or girlfriends. This is about you and your guy, not them.
Men cheat for a variety of reasons. These are just a few and there is a lot more to each of these. If you fear you are being cheated on, or you have been cheated on, these are not excuses. These are simply reasons why men hurt the one they love the most. Ultimately you have to decide what you are going to do about their infidelity.
