Not all guys cheat. I know this is not what you want to hear, but, it's the truth.
I imagine that you were hurt very badly by possibly more than one guy. All I can do is to assure you that this behavior is not true of all males, and some of us have been cheated on by women, just like you have by men. My wife of ten years cheated on me. The truth is, it hurts when this happens, no matter who it happens to. That person will eventually realize that what they did to you was wrong, even if their choice to do so grants them some measure of happiness. However, it is not necessarily such a bad thing that this happened to you. If they were willing to cheat on you, their dedication to you was not what it should have been, and you would deserve better that that. Everyone deserves better than to be cheated on by someone they love. Rest assured that the hurt you feel, though will allow you to grow in some measure, and you will be better for it. It is ok to get knocked to the ground, as long as you stand just two inches taller when you pick yourself back up.
And so, I will leave you with something I learned from history:
Abraham Lincoln went to his cabinet and top political advisors in one day and charged them all with coming up with a statement that was absolutely true, as well as absolutely relevant to EVERY situation. None could give an answer. It was a 10 year old child of a servant in the white house that looked at Mr Lincoln as he sat on a stairwell in despair at their answers, and gave him the truthful, relevant answer he sought: "Mr President?" he asked, and as a weary President looked at the child, the boy looked him square in the eyes and stated "This, too, shall pass". All the top minds in the world could not tell the simple truth of a child.
And I tell you now... "This hurt too, shall pass"...
Hope this helps...

Boys and Guys do cheat Men do not. I think this is a question of maturity and honesty. If one wants to get together with someone outside of their relationship, then that person must deal with these urges and weigh the options. It is easy to be honest with your partner and, though often difficult, deal with your own flaws and urges. I have never understood the difficulty in avoiding this complication. If you want to be with another person it is common courtesy to inform the person you are in a relationship with before-hand. Then break up or work it out. Again, I think this is a question of honesty and maturity.

Actually they dont all cheat. The trick is finding a good one. The best advice I can give you is MOST of us guys will cheat but to find the ones that will be faithful and loving you probably shouldnt look in bars or nightclubs because thats were the cheaters hang out.

Modern men have struggled to balance their natural human animal tendencies to procreate with as many females as possible (which is their genetic evolution) vs. the modern concepts of responsibility and commitment.
They've done a pretty decent job of it overall, with rare exceptions, until the past 30 years. That's when an entire generation decided they knew better than every generation that preceded them and the entire fate of humanity rested on their "correcting" everything. And that generation didn't think personal responsibility counted for anything, and commitment took a secondary role to personal desires.
That's when divorce become considered "normal" and began skyrocketing. That's when kids began to be raised with the idea that they weren't responsible for anything (it was always someone else's fault), not unlike the attitude their parents were taking. And that's when that generation took their "free love" and non-commital concepts worldwide.
So now we as a society are more open and forgiving, and there's no longer a need for men (and women) to be committed to their spouses and take personal responsibility for their own actions. What for? Everything goes! As long as it's good for "me", that's all that matters!
Right or wrong, we're stuck with it. So you might as well get used to it and figure out a way to work within the system.
Open marriage, secular polygamy, cohabitation, gay unions... they are all growing in numbers because of this reality.
And you can thank that particular generation. They really know what's best for the fate of humanity.
(And they're just getting started on what we will all need to do when we grow old!)

usually when a guy cheats it's because he has many insecurities, like for example, he feels that his other half does not love him or show the same affections. other guys just cheat because they're sleezeballs. but let's not blame it all on the guys, some gilrs are just very tempting and very easy and the vast majority of the guys cant really control themselves, what a shame.

They dont. But when they do, there are a lot of extraneous factors that may have caused it.
1. Main one is age. Todays young men are very selfish and can justify anything.
2. Environment. Is this behavior something they witnessed at home growing up?
3. Was it you? Did they ever say they would be faithful or ya'll were going to be exclusive?
4. Were you completely exepting of who they were or did you push so hard to change them that they were driven away?
Bottom line? There is NO excuse for this behavior, but NOT all men cheat.

The previous respondants don't know what they're talking about, especially "Mr. God." Guys, with very, very, very few exceptions, always cheat because monogomy is unnatural and a highly unrealistic expectation. It violates the laws of human nature and natural, biological instincts. DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY WHEN A GUY CHEATS ON YOU - IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.

They don't always cheat. Maybe you just pick guys who have a tendency to cheat.

People in general cheat probably because they aren't happy in a relationship. If you are constantly being cheated on then you need to try dating a different kind of person.

During the Clinton years, it became apparent that people actually like it if someone cheats. Clinton's approval was up after revealing his cheating, and is still up!
So guys cheat because it's what girls like!
