Why We Cheat: It Isn’t Our Fault

If you cheat on your spouse you are an asshole. I wouldn't like it if my wife slept with another man, so I don't sleep with other women. Fair is fair.

I have never been married, but in all the relationships I've been in, I've never felt compelled to cheat. I will ogle the lady walking by in the thigh-high slit dress, and imagine what it might be like to undress her, but the thought of trying to go seduce someone never crossed my mind. Maybe I'm just built different.

This article disgusts me.

I have wanted to cheat numerous times but I have two little things called empathy and self control. Both the basis of any relationship.

Let me untangle this web of shit. he says cheating is about believing monogamy and love aren't real. OK fair enough, if thats what you believe... everyone questions those things from time to time, but its how he chooses to respond to this belief that makes him a low life. if you dont believe in love or monogamy then why the fuck are you married in the first place? dont get married or at least not to someone who doesn't know. There are plenty of people in open relationships.

cheating is a huge betrayal on someone that put trust in you. his only excuse is that he "needs" to cheat as part of some primal instinct. so just to be clear then primal instincts are good and can be used as justification for an otherwise bad behavior. OK well i am going to start smashing in your face now because that is my instinct... how does that sound or how about humans are programed for war so lets start to encourage and justify war.

Im not one of those people who think once a cheater always a cheater or that everyone who cheats deserves the death penalty. I am sure that people can change and sometimes good people cheat. everyone makes mistakes, but if you cant see how making your entire life a huge lie is destructive then there is something wrong.

I've nothing against casual sex, but he's being dishonest to his WIFE. I also don't like how this guy makes out that he can speak for every man in that it's a "need", and those happy in monogamous relationships are in denial. Was it also a "need" for the women that he fucked, or did they do it "just because they could?"

Don't use your gender as an excuse for your behaviour.

Yes it is your fault. If your wife isn't giving you sex, talk to her about it and tell her your frustrations. If she insists on keeping her legs closed, talk about an open relationship.

i judge this man negatively, but i know he is like many other men out there. and women, too. many women imagine the perfect life as raising a great family and even having a sexy affair with a powerful man. it is instinctual, but ultimately selfish and disrespectful. i never have cheated, and never will cheat. and if you do get caught, you deserve your life to be ruined anyways.

"It is not about two individuals destined to meet on some dark night. It's about random collisions..."

Talk about sissy-prose. Is this guy writing for Harlequin too? Is there room in his pants for balls?

Jesus christ. This just is not a men's rights page anymore. Let's have a post where the feminists can discuss whether Tiger Woods 'cheating' should be punishable by state hanging, stoning to death, or whether the beating he took at the hands of his wife was sufficient. This is reddit men's rights after all.

And what happened to people owning their own bodies, or does that apply only to women?
