I think your premise is flawed. I think the narcissist cheater variety probably thinks his wife would never cheat on him because he’s so awesome.


Yep. Known a few women, and men for that matter, who have ended up with someone like that. They keep their SO around for the loyalty because they know they would "never do that" but don't respect them enough to also stay loyal themselves. Sadly those kind of men and women are not few and far between.

I don't get that mindset at all.

Maybe it's self destructive behavior. I don't get why you can't just be with someone, and if you want to be with someone else, just leave your current relationship.

Don't even see how people have the energy to carry on multiple relationships and deal with multiple sources of relationship crap.

They do this because they know they will have someone to fall back on.

so in my mind, if you cheat, you shouldn't give a shite what the other person will doing.
Logically, that makes sense, but the mindset of a cheater is one of extreme selfishness. They want to have their cake and eat it, too. In their mind, they provide everything that their SO needs, and it's the SO that is lacking, thus driving their compulsion to cheat (it's an entitlement issue). Of course, this is bullshite, because an unsatisfying relationship is often reflective of both partners.

The question is what is more natural cheating or being monogamous?

I guess that would depend on the person. Both are not for everybody.

Finch, I’ve asked you multiple times over the past year, yet you keep ducking me for some reason:

Are you still a virgin?

Because the cheater wants it all. They want someone to "come home to" regularly and that illusion of stability while still getting to frick around. The one they're cheating on is their safety net.

"It's called projection, and they are generally very selfish people."


This is the correct answer. Projection, in Psychology, is assuming other people engage/ subscribe to your own shitty behavior/ thoughts.

Jealous spouses are projecting. They fear the other person acts just like they do

i have always rested easy believing my GF/SO/wife was 100% faithful. never gave it a second thought.

it caught me unaware twice so shame on me, but if i didn't trust the woman i'm with 100% then there's something wrong.
