    Whatever!!! Women cheat too for the same reasons. EXACTLY the same reasons. There's always going to be someone else who is better looking, more available and someone that pays undivided attention to you, but so what. It is what it is. You either think the person you married is worth keeping and worth working on the relationship to keep or not. It's a two way street. You both have the same opportunities to make it work or not. To cheat or not to cheat. Cheating isn't just a man's world! Get over yourselves!

    The real answer (how to keep your man from cheating):
    1. Stop nagging.
    2. Put your fork down. Get into the gym.
    3. Dress hot.
    4. Give him as much sex as he wants.

    Follow these rules. You'll never have a problem.

    I agree with this article. I have a GF and I cheat on her all the time. It's just like the article says, I do something nice and I get lambasted because it's not perfect. It's a game I just can't win so I choose to score with someone else.

      You are a prime example of a insecure little boy...... You even have the odacity to come on here blast your infidelity and then have the nerve to blame your girlfriend for your selfish actions (*SMH*)...... So if your girlfriend isn't making you happy then why is she your girlfriend?????? - How come these girls you are cheating on her with are not your girlfriend?????????........ I mean it seems to me that you are just an inadequate male that can't do anything right and can't even post a well thought out comment that makes any kind of sense...... So my question to you is why are you such a scared little boy that you can't state how you feel and be honest with your "GF" - I mean it seems you are proud of what you are doing so why not make it known to your "GF"...... What exactly are you afraid of?????? - Is it perhaps that she won't put up with your bullshi+ the reason why you are scared and that even these girls you are cheating with really doesn't want you as well??????......

    Box sexes have needs and even egos. Everyone wants to feel appreciated. A cheater will cheat. If you truly love someone, you will always show them appreciation and cater to them whether you realize it or not. Everyone today is so different and complex that it is extra hard to find true love, your match, the missing piece to your puzzle. Communication, or lack there of, is the key to most, if not all, failures in relationships and other problems in life. I agree that there are a lot of women that need to speak up and not stand for a cheating spouse, but they should realize that if communication lost, their partner could cheat depending on what type of man he really is. The article isn't all B.S. and neither is your comment, but they both failed to realize the complexities of human beings. There will never be a set formula or a step-by-step chart that make for a great relationship, and not all men and women are the same or will act the same way in a given situation.

    Okay, good advice..
    "He" has exhibited the No. 1 sign: more time being spent away from home.
    I was sweet, loving, & kind.. many times. Things go okay for a while, always a while. How much can one person b expected to swallow...?? He is still private about time away from home. Then comes the No. 2 sign: less sex, and soon follows the No. 3 sign: avoidance of your contact, like cell-phone calls & emails. Naturally, he has a good excuse.. I make it so he doesn't want to call for fear of a "bad" call, never mind all the ones that weren't and aren't "bad".. suppose the excuse 4 the lack of emails is that I won't read them or i don't respond.... is a bunch of crap if u ask me. He makes excuses to suit his own desires, wants & needs. If truth be known, he withdrew these things long ago & has always been too private about his time away from home for as long as I can recall. What these things are saying is that this man is emotionally and sexually moving away from a me?
    Has he not already emotionally and sexually moved away from me?? .. Mayb he was never even there to begin with....

    [My patience is drawn thin and tight here w/ these comments by others.. hope the fans dont object if I b a real person 4 a few.. can NE1 say "sucker".. did I actually expect an unbiased commentary herein?.. not readin NE more lame commentary.. was gonna post a serious comment now I jus wanna B!tch bout the fools herein..]
    .. yall r so much the lamers.. no 1 choses to b a victim, unless they r predisposed to b such. then mayb u want to understand y that wud b so instead of continuing to victimize and criticize.. tv channels nor the shows they aire do not make victims.. the cheaters of the world make victims out of the ones whose trust and love they have betrayed.
    at some point we (the victims) have to, must, and will choose not 2 b Victims any longer...
    I say F-U to all those Nay-sayers that want to absolve themselves of guilt for crimes.. lies.. mistrust.. omissions.. disloyalty.. betrayal.. and cheating... (2 name a few..)

    I try, cannot find pity 4 u...
    Yall cheaters need to get real, b real.. stop the games..
    LIFE is 2 short.. someday u will need the love u hav abused, it will b long gone...
    You will b alone.. unloved... then mayb u will look back and say 2 urself what a fool u were.. turn ur back on Love....

    This article really makes men sound like they are little puppy dogs who havent a clue and need constant reassurance that they brought the right stick back.

      (*ROTFLMAO*) So true......

  • Posted By: andicash @ 10/06/2008 9:00:59 PM

    Clearly, there is a disconnect between expectations and realities. If women feel they aren't getting necessary "attention", we go have a beer or glass of wine with the girls. Come on men.....you want respect, earn it, like we all have to.

    So true. Been married to the same women for 34yrs dated her for four before that. You'd have thought that I would have not gotten married to her knowing this. But there is one other thing I think is over look. Most men like the hunt or challenge of the hunt. They'll keep at it until there they???ve covered every inch of ground before giving up. But once it decided that there is nothing here, then there is no turning back and it's hard to convince him to back to the same area. Much like in a relationship, the challenge is to over come. Not the women but the attitude of not doing things right. He'll keep at it looking for every angle or avenue that it will take to get it. However, once there is nothing left then he'll look some where else or to somebody else. Believe me, he'll get it. I know...

    I am a 21 year old Female, married and have 2 beautiful girls! Ever since my Husband got this new job at another Tree Service Company. He's been coming home late alot. He will come home like around 8:30-9:00.
    I never heard of a tree company working late like he does. That is very dangerous working in a tree at night. He's mom even questions herself about this! Before we got married and was just girlfriend and boyfriend, we use to have SEX almost everynight and sometimes in the morning before he left work. Now since we got married things have changed alot. We hardly have sex. I think it's because of the our new baby that we had in January if this year. Because ever since we had her, its been rough for us to even have sex. He always quetions me (How was it? Was it good enough for you?) Then he will down himself saying, I'm not that good! And I will tell him how great he was....because he is really great in bed! But How do I keep him from downing himself? I do everything for him? I'm just suspicious about him coming home late??? Do you think he is doing something behind my back??? He says he will never ever cheat on me, His mom even says that to me ( That he has always been faithful and never cheated on no one before so why would he start now?) I want to believe but why do I have this gut feeling??? I am just concerned!!! Thanks so much for listening to me....Annie Jo

      HE IS CHEATING ON YOU, BOTTOM LINE!!

    • Posted By: Mstoughlove @ 10/06/2008 1:02:47 PM

      You are so young. Getting married is not the perfect world we are led to believe it is. Every couple goes through this. This is perfectly normal. There is nothing you can do to change how he feels or behaves. Just accept it, assume the best and raise your children to the best of your ability. Also, take care of yourself by eating healthy and staying fit. Right now he is coping with the new realities of his life and needs time to understand himself. Give him the space and time to do this, if you make a big issue out of this, you will only push him away further.

    • Posted By: afrocouscous @ 10/06/2008 12:55:10 PM

      Keep talking to him - voice your concerns but don't accuse him in any way. Be kind, and know that he's working hard for you. Give him assurance that you love and care and things will be cool. Trust God and Annie Jo, get busy girl! You're 21 and you guys are living the dream right now! Enjoy those bodies of yours! I would love to be 21 again - those are good times!!!!

    I am going to write in here to give my 2 cents worth in this very interesting topic. I am married for 14 years and have cheated on my wife many times. I do it for the sex and fun in it. I find that the marrieage model is unrealistic for my tolerance or need for sex. Meaning that I do not agree that a monogomous relationship is either healthy or realistic for me. If you eat the same dish every day for a period of time one day you will decideto never eat that dish again. The same thing goes with sex with the same person for a lifetime, come on folks, no matter how much you like each other after the honeymoon is over there has to be something more. I agree there are mre things to life an marriage than sex but as long as I need it and as long as I can get it I will continue to venture out of my marriage for the variety that I crave and need.

    Men are not victims.

    • Posted By: urwhatuwant2b @ 10/06/2008 8:27:22 PM

      ANYONE is a victim; as long as that is what they want to be. I know several men that are victims. They complan about life, their women, their circumstances, blah blah blah. Our lives are exactly what we make them to be (Period) BUt I will say that women have television channels dedicated to victimology. Can you say Oxygen & Life?

  • Posted By: sw33418 @ 10/04/2008 3:02:39 PM

    Your MAN is not a MAN if he has to cheat. It really is that simple. Your MAN is a piece of $*@#&, just the kind of real quality person you want around if you became disabled or worse. I'm a husband and father of two, both now well into their major areas of study in college. I'll tell you the same thing I would tell my daughter. Men of character and conviction matter, men who can't find that wihin themselves are weak cowards and forever forfiet their right to be called a "Gentlemen".

    While I agree with much of what has been said in the article, I also think that there's some missing and important considerations. If 48 percent say underappreciation is a cause, what does the MAJORITY say? Personally, I think that some men crave sexual variety in a way that monogamous relationships just can't satisfy over many years. I think it's our inability to separate love from sex and commitment from lack of commitment that may be problematic in this sense. There are many men that are committed and loving, but desire diversification of physical contact. This doesn't mean that the man is seeking a new soul mate. Most women would just call that attitude "pigishness", but it can be just a craving for variety. So while all the ultra-conservatives reading this can dismiss this as just another pig wanting sex, I think a more thoughtful exercise might be to consider whether it could ever be acceptable between two openly consenting and committed partners to allow for the idea of an extramarital encounter with another individual, as long as the intent is right and the pre-agreed bounds are maintained. They used to call this "taking a lover", and it was often open and consentual for both parties. The dirty secret now is that since we can't talk about how we really feel, cheating is done (and by definition, cheating is done in secret). If folks were just a bit more open and honest about how they feel about sex and their partners, we might wind up with a less arcane version of marriage. This could lead to a deeper appreciation and understanding of just how loving most men and women are towards their partners, even if they do have a physical encounter with another individual. The tragedy here is our collective inability to openly share thoughts that are common, but so taboo that they interfere with our honesty. Sex can often be just about sex, and doesn't necessarily need to be connected with emotional bonding. If we ever learned to be honest and open with each other, we'll make progress on this issue.

      My friend I could not have said it better; I posted a short one trying to describe what you wrote here but I think you hit the nail on the head with your thoughts. The difficult part is if you have a mate male or female that cannot deal with the idea of sharing you with someone else. Then that is when one has to revert to the cheating and "secrets" that in essence are not a good thing for anyone. But what is the other alternative ? Bottle up your frustrations and spend a life of wanting to live out some fantasies but never having the guts to do it. Then one day when you are too old and wrinkled to be attactive you end up with all these regrets and maybe even a cheating spouse (wish I would accept) and then you say, "hell i should have done this or that !!!" ; so anyways thanks for sharing your thoughts, my opinion and ideas on this subject mirror yours in many ways.

    • Posted By: wyowillie @ 10/06/2008 6:36:57 PM

      I totally disagree. I don't think it's appropriate to give into a craving we might have just because we have it. Think about food cravings, for example. The more you give into them, the harder it becomes to stop giving in, and you eventually can face serious health consequences if you can't learn to control it. The same thing works with commitment in marriage. The more you play around with the idea of cheating, the easier it is to finally do it, and the more you do it, the harder it is to stop. I don't think, for most men, that it is because of the secretiveness (although that might be enticing for some); rather, I think it's simply a lack of self control. You can argue that the craving is natural and won't affect the love in the marriage relationship, but the commitment to each other and only to each other over years and years of marriage is, in my opinion, what makes the relationship so special in the end. Those who cheat on their spouse sacrifice amazing experiences of closeness, companionship, friendship, trust, etc. down the road for the instant gratification of sexual variety right now.

      In that respect, I guess it really comes down to a personal choice. But anyone who wants those things with someone else (companionship, trust, love, etc.) should learn to control the cravings to cheat the same way they control their cravings to overeat.

    I am so sick of this headline I could vomit - get rid of it please . If a person is going to cheat they are going to cheat. Why make someone else feel they are in control - they are not.

    i cheated on my wife while she was out of town with my assistant. she was very aggresive and it turned me on. i took the bait only to find myself in the act freaking out on how did i get here! you think you want it until you see this stranger and SNAP out of it! i told my wife when she came home. we spent about a week apart and i thought it was the end. but i could not live a lie. i could not hurt my friend. we i did hurt my bestfriend. and i made me fell so bad about myself. she forgives me but she will never forget. i could have said nothing but in the end i feel better for have being honest. a friend i told was a great help in me being forthright with my wife. so the point is share in cheating with someone you can trust enough to give you the real tough love and be honest with you about such actions. a few hours of sex for the loss of a lifetime is not worth it. my wife is out of town again this week and i have no plans but to hang with my kids and keep a clean house for her return. seg.
