I've been with my husband for 15 years.
For 14 1/2 of those years, my reason for not cheating was quite simply there was no one else in the world I was remotely as attracted to as I was to my husband. For the other six months, reasons like commitment, trust and not wanting it to happen to me came into play, not to mention fear of rejection by the other guy, not wanting to get caught, and not really knowing if he'd be half-decent in bed anyway. But basically we're in it for the long haul and an affair isn't worth the risk.

I Think That You Are Being Very Stereotypical Here In Your Rantings. Obviously You Have Been Very Hurt By Someone And Should Have Pursued Help For Your Inner Feelings Instead.
Most Women Do Not Cheat Because They Believe In The Commitment They Made In Their Vows, They Love Their Husband Beyond Sex, And Enjoy Being Around Him Even When He's At His Worst. Also To Key You In.....Lets Be Totally Honest... Women Don't Base A Relationship On How Satisfied She Is Sexually...Alot Of Other Things Follow Like: Companionship, Friendship, Support..Ect. When These Things Aren't Present In The Relationship Then The Relationship Becomes Dull And She Starts To Outsource.

It's not a "better than thou" attitude and I am sorry you feel that way.
One can cheat even with their thoughts. If my bf or (future)husband even thought about another woman in a sexual manner, I would consider that cheating and the same goes for myself.
Society has plagued us with the idea that sexual promiscuity is somehow okay and it's NOT. There is more to a HEALTHY relationship than being merely "sexually satisfied." And, if the relationship IS healthy, unless there are medical problems, there should be no problem with that either.
Intimacy is formed on MANY levels - sexual pleasure being one of the LAST. However, society doesn't advocate this at all and it is extremely sad and heartbreaking to see a world devoid of true love and intimacy.
If one is TRULY loved, man or woman, it completely negates the need to search out "false love" elsewhere... aka - cheating.

There is never a reason to cheat not even if your man cheats on you because then you would be just as low as he is. If someone is having thoughts about cheating then they need to end their relationship before they do something that is going to really hurt the other person. And not to sound rude but it is not just women who cheat. I have so many friends whose boyfriends and even husbands have cheated on them for no appariant reason besides their saying"I am a man with needs" It is not ok to cheat on anyone.

Marriage is work. If my husband doesn't satisfy me, it's because there's something wrong in the marriage that needs to be corrected. Just giving up and cheating seems like a cop out to me and makes the whole marriage seem worthless. On the other hand, if both are willing to work on the marriage and figure out how to solve the problems, wouldn't that eventually make the marriage stronger, and both able to satisfy each other better?

That actually goes along with how smart is the person they are with. Some women size up a guy and then know if they want to be with them or not. Everyone has different reasons for being in a relationship. Some are very deceitful and others are loyal. Just know what you are getting into before you get into it.

My husband in no way satisfies me and I don't cheat. Number one if I divorce I have no intention of remarrying. 2 cheat and have it not work out with the other person for whatever reason. There are many men and women unhappily married and don't cheat. The reasons are many depending on who you ask. There are as many reasons for not cheating that there are for cheating... kids,money,starting over, lost of interest in playing the field, STD's.

WOW--I'm hoping I'm not the only one who feels like you were talking in circles. Most people (men AND women) have chances to be unfaithful.
I'm wondering why it would matter, a woman's reasons for NOT cheating--she is doing what she vowed to do, by remaining faithful. As the old saying goes; if it's not broken, don't fix it. And for goodness sake, don't question it!

I wont cheat because I took a vow, and why the hell did I get married if I was just going to cheat? There are still some women out there who view marriage as a holy union.

If the person I'm with understands me, and communicates well with me. Then I have no reason to cheat. If on top of that he satisfys me and makes me happy, even less of a reason to cheat. In other words if I love the man I'm with, which I do, and he loves me back, there is no place for cheating either in my mind, body or heart. If you cannot comprehend this, it probably means that you have a lot to work on yourself!
