    This newsletter has some good advice and i think i could use it some day! I have been cheated on and i have been the one to cheat too.

    It was always the feeling of not being appreciated or loved! I have since then ended that relationship and became involved in another relationship and to this day have not cheated because now i know how it feels to be cheated on and its not a good feeling. I have been with my partner for 2 years now to this day yes, we have our ups and downs but we try to work them out and talk about them even if as most men are hard headed you just have to NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP! If you give up might as well say its over.

    I just hope and pray that my new relationship with my partner doesnt end in cheating or being cheated on. If you want your relationship to last i think communication is key plus trust!


    God Bless Everyone!

    No matter what, one will clearly notice, the MINUTE an article is focused on MEN, the women whine about themselves. This clearly shows the problem. Women are generally self centered, self absorbed, and selfish. They can't stand the focus to be on MEN for one minute. Not one stinking minute. One would think with the current female-centric focus on women, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, it would be enough. But, nooooooooooooo, they are never, ever, ever satisfied.

    YOu know what gets me about this article...WHY doesn't it read what MEN can do for their wives!...I never felt appreciated or done for...It was always me doing all the work and when I wouldn't do it all anymore, he called me lazy...I am glad I got rid of him, but I am SICK of articles that suggest WOMEN are responsible for keeping men from straying...WHAT ABOUT THEIR RESPONSIBLITIES? What about them ASKinf for help in their marriage. MEN are lousy at showing appreciation but they sure as hell expect us to work, take care of the home, meals, laundry and the kids..God damn it, where are THEIR RESPONSIBILITES!

    When i read this newletter in brought a lot of things to mind. I mean i always try to show him i love him by trying to get him to go out with me to a movie or to eat or just rent some movies and cuddle together. When ever he treats i say thank you and i love you to him. When i treat he doesnt do either. Before he was the one who wanted to get together and do things and go places now that we are living together thing have changed little by little. I do think he is cheating on me somethime but i think it because im insecure. My last relationship lasted 4 and a half years and ended in cheating. My ex-cheated on me, i found him with another girl at his apartment since then its been hard for me to really trust and man. I want to trust him and everything but since he has been distancing himself from me and sex has been so so. He gives me the impression that our relationship is going down hill and may end any day now, then another day our relationship is great!!!

    The newsletter opened my mind to think different and try to work thing out and not give up!

    Hope it work out for me and every one else going through this issue.

    God Bless!

    A cheater will always be a cheater;men are sexual in nature and...most men are dogs....not all..but most are dogs.

    very well said if you ever been cheated on or are the cheater and you talk to someone about it every one will have a dilffrent opion about it. This has been going on from the beging of time and will till the end of time. Everyone has to deal with tepmtation its a part of life it how we deal with it god gave us the ability of choice and in the end that is how we will have to answer to. I have been cheated and I was hurt, mad ect got day i woke up and tired of all the pain and gave my burden and pain to god I have not forgotten or excuse the behavior Iam just not it going to run my life. It is you life sit down and take time out to see what you really want not what you think social should do remember only you live your life do whats going to make you happy over time things do get better.

    A cheating man or woman will always cheat no matter who they are with at a time.I have no respect for a man or a woman who will still go ahead with someone knowing they are married.It's different if they don't know............but knowing and still going ahead.............you absolutely have no morals............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Posted By: jeshni.singh @ 10/04/2008 7:06:52 PM

    you don't need a relationship expert to know that it is wrong to cheat .Period!!!!!!

    These blogs are a testament to what I said earlier about all humans being "individuals." The opinions expressed here are exactly what I was saying. Nobody will ever totally agree with anyone else about this topic or any other controversial topic that comes up. As passionately as everyone here feels about their convictions over cheating is precisely why some people cheat and some don't. WE ARE INDIVIDUALS PEOPLE!!! So try not to get your backs up against the wall, because I doubt that you will ever convince anyone here that your opinion is any better or more valid than theirs.

    FINALLY, someone has realized that men actually have feelings. After 7 years of marriage, I strayed. Not for sex, but because my then-wife never touched me. Never kissed me. Never said, "Thank you." Never did any of those things that she did with ease with her friends and with our kids. I strayed because when I said to her "I need you to love me" she responded with, "I can't really talk about this right now." I was devastated, and I strayed. Could my marriage have been salvaged? Maybe, but it would have required effort from her, effort she demonstrated she was not willing to impart. My affair was a search for someone who valued me. Who actually thought I was a good man, and who actually showed me the love I'd been missing. The sex in the affair grew from that. But it was emotional in the beginning. This author gets it. We're not walking penises.

      No, you are not, I agree. And that's the reason I have a boyfriend - because I am in the same situation you are - unappreciated. The word "LOVE" is like a taboo. So I found someone that says it, and means it. I am not going to leave my husband for now, I don't want my boyfriend to leave his family either. And it's not about sex for him or me. Just about ROMANCE! It gets lost somewhere between the every day life, work, kids...

    This book sounds dumb. Men cheat because it is built into their system. The nature of human reproduction does not include a relation with one woman. Thus, even satisfied men will cheat and can not indicate why. But if you treat a guy like an old dish towel then you are assuring that he will stray. On the flip side, why do other women make it easy and encourage a guy to cheat? Why do women flirt with men when they are happily married and don't intend to cheat? The fact is that they are all responding to the primevil urge and don't even know it. To prevent cheating, make sure your guy is totally satisfied sexually, don't think of sex as a chore, and make sure you are spending as much time with him as you can and have common activities.

    very easy ladies..........F#ck your husband and he wont look elsewhere. If it is that hard for you to do, then why have a problem if someone else is willing to do what pains you so much? Proof? Ask a married guy if his wife used to give him blow jobs before they got married. Then ask him how often she does now. You'll know what Im talking about immediately afterwards.

    The weird thing is, is that women seem to be shocked that they were cheated on when they won't do what got them married in the first place.

      You hit the nail on the head...there are alot of ways of saying it...but your's was the best! I hope your husband appreciates you!

      • Posted By: LuckyinKY @ 09/27/2008 8:28:23 PM

        You think BJ's just stop out of thin air? After you ask the husband that question, then ask him when is the last time he took his wife out, showed her off, and showed her a good time...for no reason other than wanting to hang out with her. I bet the dates will coincide. Women want to feel appreciated, too and sweaty balls in your face, on the body of a man who doesn't know you're there the rest of the day or night is not appealing.

        • Posted By: thewritersays @ 10/01/2008 2:59:47 PM

          see the thing is...women get fat and ugly...men leave and look for young/ hot ladies.

          plan A: DONT GET FAT
          plan B: Get fat but still know how to work the magic stick.

          got it?

            RIGHT ON! (I'm a woman, tiny, doing great BJs, have a husband and a boyfriend...)

  • Posted By: gorevidalian @ 10/04/2008 6:19:31 PM

    This article (and most likely the book) is full of traditionalist dribble. If a man is straying from his spouse saying things like "remember when we were dating" and such is a HUGE turn-off. The best thing that woman could do is move on, but if that isn't an option she should attempt to lead a more independent life from his. Reminding him of old times just reminds him that they're gone (but not with his new woman). Remember, when you were dating you didn't live together, had your own friends, weren't attached at the hip, and didn't get upset over trivial matters. It's time to realize that all the fun, sex, excitement, and whatnot was the reaction of respect for one another, not the cause of it. Also, no useful relationship information can come from a religious "expert".

  • Posted By: breathless50 @ 10/04/2008 6:19:28 PM

    I think that relationships all boil down to respect and consideration on the part of both members. We all need to feel loved and appreciated for who we are, not so much what we do. During a very interesting conversation I had many years ago, a man told me that if everyone put 100% into their relationships and expected nothing in return, they would be surprised the effect it would have on their partner, friend, child, parent, etc. I guess that boils down to a simple concept the "Golden Rule". Of course romantic love relationships are taken a step further with physical intimacy, but the basic love, respect and appreciation can never be forgotten or compromised.

    This is a good article but doesn't go far enough. As a man who is not a simple creature I have craved deep deep connection with my spouse. I raised it with her many times over my twenty year marriage but things never changed. I have been attentive to my wife's needs emotionally and physically and spiritually but haven't received the same in return. I cook, I clean, I do all the finances, plan all the vacations, and many other things that a lot of men won't do. The fact is that an emotional void has been created in my life. I know that I am vulnerable to having at least an emotional affair. I have talked about leaving but it leaves my wife very depressed and suicidal and she can't function. If I left I believe the household would fall apart and the kids would suffer tremendously. I have tried communication and it hasn't worked. I feel like I can relate to those men who feel a void (although I think I am much more complicated and need more emotional connection than most men), feel trapped, and are vulnerable. I am at a complete loss.

      to baeta: I understand your concern. I have a boyfriend (married) that has the same problem with his wife, and is happy with me because he gets the emotional appreciation from me that he doesn't get at home. I don't want him to leave his wife, I wouldn't leave my husband, it's the romance that we are both enjoying and that's why we are together. My advise - find a romantic girlfriend!

      My wife has developed some mental problems. The brain is an organ. If a heart or kidney is operating at 80%, people get on with their lives just fine. When a brain is operating at 80%, or less, life can be thrown into a turmoil. You can only do what you can do, but when you say "sickness or health" realize that mental issues are a sickness sometimes and try to be understanding. Good luck.

    • Posted By: themajor @ 09/26/2008 4:27:09 PM

      Baeta, she has found a way to get what she wants and to control you at the same time. You say she gets depressed and cannot function. What is she doing for you anyway? Nothing from your post. Obviously, the children complicate things and are better off with you in their lives. But what kind of example are you setting for them? You didn't mention their ages, but children are very perceptive. Good Luck!

      You don't need anyone to tell you that your marriage is in trouble, do you? The mere fact of your wife's proclivity for threats of suicide should be enough to make the point. The two of you need to find a good psychologist (preferably with a secondary specialization in marital therapy) and get help. If your wife won't go with you, go by yourself. Both of you are in trouble. Good luck!

    Everyone is so quick to rip on this article and assume "cheaters" are the scum of the Earth. Well, as a divorced mom of two, (yes he cheated) I don't agree with that. I really think that there are usually major issues in a relationship that cause people, both men & women to stray. Is that ok? Of course not. But when you commit yourself to someone and take vows, part of that entails putting their needs before your own, not all the time, but being able to truley do that and love that person is tough. And I do agree with the article, it is the little things that count, men are pretty simple creatures:) They need to feel wanted, needed and shown affection by both their wife and children. It's not triginamatry! Make his favorite food one night a week, don't get all bent out of shape when he wants to go play poker with the guys,(isn't it nice to have a break from him too?) and lastly, take care of yourself physically, you don't have to be a super model, but heels and lipstick once in awhile shouldn't be out of the question..Weekly sex helps a lot too, it's good for both of you and makes you feel closer in all aspects.
