Cheating is pretty much the new norm

There have been a number of cheating threads lately, which got me to thinking. With declared percentages nearing 50% and real numbers probably a good bit higher if you throw in emotional affairs, it's pretty safe to say that most marriages will have some for of cheating.

So what makes a person cheat? Is it what they aren't getting at home? That they are a piece of shite? Or they just don't give a damn about things anymore?

Also, given that cheating is much more prevalent that one wants to admit, is it becoming more acceptable? And, is the person who dates/screws a married person really looked down on?

Not sure I'll ever get married again with how my eyes have been opened lately in regards to infidelity. Women that I would have sworn wouldn't cheat, do.

I love these threads. All the divorced, trashy baws shite on their ex wives and claim all women are crazy while maintaining they were 100% blame free.

Small dicks are usually to blame. Sorry your wife cheated on you.

Usually when someone cheats, it's because they are selfish.

You can list all of the other things that go into it, but it really just boils down to one person thinking of themselves and what they want over someone else.

Me thinks you just know a lot of pieces of shite.

Maybe change your circle of friends.

In the situations I'm aware of, most felt unwanted/rejected by their spouse for an extended period of time. It wears on a marriage faster than anything.

I'm ears deep in both work and family matters. I hardly have enough time and energy to maintain a hobby. My idea of cheating is grabbing dinner and eating it in the car before I get home.

I've got to admit I do some looking too
But she's the only one I love
She still tells me she loves me
But I wonder if my love's enough

Cause she just started liking cheatin' songs
And what's bothering me
I don't know if its the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody

An overall decline in moral fiber is the new norm, not cheating.

In my experience the reasons the spouses cheat can be broken down into 3 categories.

1) Spouse fell out of love / was never in love in the first place with SO and is either too comfortable being taken care of financialy too be honest or doesn't have the balls to be honest.

2) Spouse feels underappreciated/mistreated

3) Spouse is is so insecure and/or attention seeking that they would have cheated on anyone they were with.

Cheating is as old as prostitution.

We have a couple that we are friends with, wife is really close to other wife, me and him are cool but don't hang out without the wives. Anyway, I found out he cheats on her and now I find out she cheats on him. My wife only knew about her but was ok with it until she found out he cheated. Now she thinks he is a piece of shite for it. So it's ok for the girl to cheat because of her emotional needs but he is just a dick for doing it. Double standard. Women will justify anything I guess.

Again with your emotional affair nonsense. If it isn't physical, it isn't cheating.

People that have not cheated:
cheaters are pieces of shite.

People that have cheated:
My needs weren't being met, spouse was abusive or indifferent, etc.

Truth? Varies by case I'm sure.

Look at how good employees get hired away. Generally, they are not taken care of / shown the proper amount of respect/love. They aren't getting the raises, promotions, etc. They are getting taken for granted.

Then one day, a recruiter calls. If they were 100 percent happy in their current job, they will tell the recruiter to have a nice day. But if they aren't 100 percent happy... they will listen to the recruiter.

And once they listen... all bets are off.

I think very few people actively look to cheat. But if they are feeling neglected, and the opportunity to cheat presents itself... I think some people just fall for it.

And given increased pressures from work, more hours working, both spouses working, kids always having more and more things to do, tight finances, etc... i think people do feel more neglected.

Not trying to cast blame or give excuses... just observations.
