can a man love his wife and still cheat or flirt or does love and cheating pretty much cancel the other out?
p.s. he's protective of what she does but she doesn't do anything to make him think otherwise. she's loyal and very honest with him.

Love is not the cure all that folks seem to think it is. Yes you can love and cheat. Haven't you ever heard of having your cake and eating it oo? They want the good girl as a security blanket. If they are treating her good then how bad can they be? Cheating is cheating. If someone cheats and doesn't love someone, how is that any different than cheating on someone they do love? NONE.

When a man loves his wife he doesn't cheat on her. Flirting? ...depends. Men can do innocent flirting and it means nothing. If a man is seriously flirting in front of his wife then he doesn't love her. He is being protective or is he looking for things in her that he does? If she is loyal and honest with him then she needs to be honest and tell him to cut that crap or else! I think I would leave anyone who had such little respect for me as a wife...especially if he cheats on me. He always will as long as she lets him.

I think he can....it doesn't mean he doesn't love her ..it just means he is self-indulgent, maybe bored and wants some excitement, maybe wants different or more adventurous sex, makes him and his ego feel good when he flirts and is able to get other women...
he keeps her around maybe because of the financial consequences of divorce, thinks she is a good wife and mother etc...
most men whom I have met who have cheated on their wives, either through flirting , in real life or cyber often still claim they love her and don't want to leave but
also usual say even though she is a good wife and mother their sex life is boring, she won't "do" things or often etc....

If he is cheating on her then chances are he doesnt love her like he says he does. b/c if he did love her then he wouldnt cheat on her. She needs to divorce him and find someone who is gunna be honest and upfront with her. I can understand being protective of her but not what she does.. ..theres no trust there and that is a key to a good relationship b/c without trust and communication u have no relationship.

Depends on what your definition of "love" is. Idealistically speaking, one would not do something that would hurt a person they truly loved. Practically, tho, one can have a discreet fling on the side while still wanting to stay with their spouse; I think, this desire to stay married to someone can be called "love" in many cases, regardless of the fling.

Where did these people find the definition of "love"? Love is faithful. Love is kind. Love makes one want better for the other, than him/herself. Love doesn't allow one to give to someone else, sexually. The consequence to your loved one's heart should be the only deterrent you need.
She's too needy and lacking in self image. He's abusive and unable to fully commit to what he can't fully control. Bad combination.

Love is used to describe lot's of intense feelings.
Cheating & flirting means that he doesn't feel romantically drawn to his spouse....but he may still care for her as a close friend.
