Almost every
day, we receive emails to our problems page asking us why men
cheat. It could be boyfriends, husbands or partners, all, or so it would
seem, cheat.
There is probably not a simple answer to why men cheat.
We guess each case is unique in its own way. Nevertheless, here are some
reasons why men cheat. Perhaps you can read them and gain an insight into
why your man may be cheating on you.
1. Sex - Yes,
pure and simple. A man may cheat on you simply for sex. A man is able to
have sex with another woman without having feelings for her. He can also
have sex with another woman without affecting his emotions for his
partner. So we guess the good news is that if your man has had sex with
another woman, he may still be in love with you !
2. Ego - We all
know how the male likes to have his ego boosted every now and then. Well
having sex with a woman is a boost to his ego. The more women he has, the
bigger the boost. If you don't believe us, just listen to guys talking
about sex, they are more likely to talk about quantity rather than
quality.
3. Excitement -
Men, like us all, need excitement in their lives. Sometimes a relationship
can squash that excitement, no matter how good the relationship. Having an
affair brings some excitement back for them. We guess it's like having a
new toy.
4. Because they can
- How often have we heard this excuse? Yet it is true, men can cheat by
having affairs and perhaps do it without too much conscience pricking.
5. Trophy hunting
- This seems to go back to the very basics of male instincts. Young
guys before they settle down are keen on trophy hunting - be it notches on
the bed post, marks in a diary, empty wine bottles, photos etc. They are
more interested in the number of girls they lay as a means of proving
themselves to other guys and to themselves. It seems that some guys just
cannot let go of this phase and may cheat in order to continue hunting
trophies.
6. Fear of getting
old - It seems that to some men, cheating is a way of proving to
themselves and their mates that they are still young and able to 'pull'
