5 Reasons Why Men Cheat
on Their Wives

1. LOSS OF EGO
A man primary need is to feel good about
himself. When he doesn't he finds ways to
meet this primary goal .

2. MISPLACED ANGER
He may be angry at his wife but, rather
than deal with problem, he has an affair to
make her pay.

3. BOREDOM
Affairs are rarely boring; they tend to be
exciting and full of life. Even the fear of
getting caught causes excitement.

4. ESCAPE FROM EMOTIONAL PAIN
The male sex drive provides a distraction
or vacation, from emotional pain.

5. NEED FOR NURTURE & INTIMACY
If these needs are being met, men have
no need to look elsewhere.



1. The first and main reason why men have affairs: to feed their ego. The problem with us males is that feeling good about ourselves, or meeting our ego needs, is our primary goal in life. Therefore, the first reason why men get involved in affairs is that it feeds their egos.

2. The second reason is what we call -misplaced anger. For example lets consider the husband who is really mad at his wife for whatever reason. He may have an affair with some other woman as a way of making his wife pay. Instead of directing his anger toward her (which he may be afraid to do), or expressing the anger in a way that will help the relationship change, he just has sex with some other woman This action then feeds his ego (because someone else wants him), so he now feels good (physically and emotionally) and he doesnt feel as angry with his wife. In his anger, he has made her pay.

3. The third reason why men have affairs is boredom. The Bible (Proverbs 9:1 7) tells us stolen melons are the sweetest, stolen apples taste the best. In modem times this means that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. If I don't have enough excitement in my life, I will create some.

4. The fourth reason why men have affairs is to escape emotional pain. Our sex drive is the second strongest drive within us -second only to self-preservation. Sex therefore can easily be used as a strong distraction from some emotional pain we do not want to feel. Few things in life are more intense than fulfilling this sex drive with a climax or orgasm. For this reason, a man can use sex as a way to distract him from emotional pain, like problems at home or work. It feels good to him physically, and he gets a vacation from the rest of his feelings of hurt and pain. This is why pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry. He can receive instant gratification just by looking at a magazine, the Internet, a video, etc., and have a secondary benefit of taking a vacation from some internalized emotional pain.

5. The fifth reason is the desire for nurture and intimacy. A recent study from the Florida State University found that premature babies who were massaged by their mothers on a regular daily basis developed physically 60% faster than those who did not receive this extra ?touching.? We all need human touch. It is a special form of nurture. When men don?t feel nurtured and cared for by their wives, they will seek it elsewhere. Everyone, males and females need to be nurtured with touch.

Answer 3

Human Nature

Answer 4

Not all men but few of them feel like if they change a bit that wont harm but any man that is to reach a level of "not convinced by his wife" then never marry!!

Answer 5

Marriage cannot quell some men's appetites for a new conquest. It's primal instinct vs. institutionalized morality.

Answer 6

Hey its not just men plenty of women are doing it too. I guess some people are just greedy and have no self control they have love and sex at home but go elsewhere just cause they can.

Answer 7

I don't think it's all men. I think it's maybe the media and the Hollywood culture portray men as cheaters who can't stay true to their mates. Don't stereotype.

Answer 8

They feel as if they are not getting enough sex from their wife. So they gotta go and cheat to get some.

Answer 9

I have not cheated yet but have come close because my wife was really bitchy and was holding back sex . Give your man enough ateention he wont stray

Answer 10

Probably cause they were never really ready to get married and had no guts to say so or they could just be losers
