I agree, it is very common for women to cheat. They can justify it very easily, so it's no big deal to them. It allows them to think of it as not cheating. Ironically, the reasons they use to justify it don't count when men use the same arguments.


I'd say a minimum of 33% have cheated on their husband at least once. Probably closer to 50% though. If you include unmarried women in relationships over a year, I'd go as high as 65%

Agree. Nothing you've said sounds remotely bitter. Just eyes wide open realistic. People have no idea how common it is until that world is opened to them, either by friends who share experiences or after it happens to them, specifically. I was SO naive.


I think the bottom line is don't ever take your spouse for granted. Instead of saying they are crazy, find out why they appear to be irrational. Develop and maintain a close friendship that will go a long way to keeping someone emotionally satisfied.

IMO, it's rarely just about sex, particularly with women.

Fr33 is right.

It happens literally everywhere, all the time.

shite, every time you're out at a restaurant with your wife/gf...there is at least one couple there that is cheating, at least one

The sprint is usually

Cuddle up/We can't do that again

Kiss/ooooh we can't break the next wall, too fast

Making out:feeling up/damn it all I want this.

Sex/she's in love for the first time again.

Around 7 billion of us now? Maybe 10 basic mix and match stories cover all our upbringing and lives thereafter.

No doubt. I worked all the time. Shift work. So when I was home a lot of the times she wasn't.

I could have been closer to her emotionally. When the miscarriage came I didn't know how to handle it, so I clammed up.
I drowned my sorrows and didn't share them. Not getting slobber drunk but just stayed in a haze while I wasn't working.

I put things ahead of her I shouldn't.

I think had the sex been there things would have been a lot better. It breeds enmity when you come home from work and just want a little affection only to find your wife turns away at your touch.

She could have told me she didn't love me before 2 kids.

It's a 2 player game.

My wife cheated and left. I will always remember the damage to my mental health, and more importantly the damage to the kids, who I finished raising on my own. Fortunately, they're on their own now and happily married.

While our home was wrecked, in the ten years I have been single I just have not been able to bring myself to be a home wrecker. Knowing first hand all the potential damage, just can't do it.

I don't think it's no big deal, regardless of being male or female. I think that it happens for a variety of reasons that fr33 explained, and becomes easy for people to rationalize once that gate is opened.

No reasons justify it. Men who cheat would likely get pissed if they found out their wives cheated, and vice versa. shite happens, and it makes me very jaded about the potential for successful long term relationships.

I hired a contractor to paint my house. He decided to lay the wood instead




Best thing that has ever happened to me TBH. First wife had spiralled deep into crazy and I was checked out anyways...

Many fun times were had being a single guy in my young 30's

I don't think I've ever seen true remorse from a woman who cheated. Not once. They are able to justify it too easily. From a man, they are sorry maybe 3/4 of the time

For whatever reason, many rationalize that an affair is never the woman's fault.

The other favorite line is "I did it for us!"

goddamned bitch

True. They'll blame the other guy.

Bottom line, marry someone emotionally compatible.

One thing I learned is that regardless of how long you have been together, you never really know the person you are sharing a bed with. You only know about her what she wants you to know.

Well she did all those times y'all had sex after she got railed and you didn't have to do foreplay to Rev up the engine. That was for you, baby.

Edit: not aimed at you just FYI.

Jesus frick karma will be a bitch on me one day.

At the time, I think many of us think we are doing that. Time passes and people change ....... and sometimes there is not a whole hell of a lot you can do about it.

I have. As part of my atonement process post alcohol I offered to talk to her husband. He accepted and it actually went fairly well.

Right? Emotional compatibility isn't static. I'm not saying successful relationships are impossible for people. I just have a hard time imagining it. My marriage was great for a long time, until it wasn't. Then it was hell.
