Will most women cheat on their men? Why? How can a man prevent it?

Question

Well, I'm not perfect (who is), will a woman cheat on me, how do I stop that from happening? Is it inevitable if I fail to meet her needs? I make mistakes, I cant be wonderful all the time forever.

I honestly believe I will never cheat on a woman myself. That is wrong.

Answer 1

They are just as capable of doing it as any man.

To hopefully prevent it from happening in your marriage ...(and some of the answers are going to suck). You better try your best not to make her emotionally displeased with you. That's the most common reason a woman will go outside of a marriage.

It's really stupid to think she can go waste every dime she has, every dime you give her and you cannot tell her what she's doing is wrong. You may be accused of trying to control her or being bossy.

You can suggest some of her friends are rats, provide tangible evidence and she think you are just trying to keep her from having any friends. How about exercising your right as her spouse and want parity with the raising of our children. You can be wrong (in her eyes) when making decisions about the children but she can NEVER be wrong (when in fact a doctor, teacher or other person proves your stand point to be correct).

Don't EVER talk to old flames! Not even in passing unless you want to be accused of cheating. However, expect her to do it and get mad when she's caught doing the exact same thing.

Try and be available to her and continue to go on dates. This is a good thing (it really is). It keeps the both of you capivated with each other. Listen to her and act on her concerns (when it makes sense). Some things are so stupid only a fool would do it (I want a new house when you can't afford it is a good example) however, those things that you may not like doing but do to please her will go a long way in showing you are willing to go above and beyond what she expects.

Answer 2

Most women don't cheat on their men. Statistics say that mostly its Men who cheat on their women.
Its not inevitable because every women is different. Every humanbeing is different.
You don't have to be wonderful all the time to prevent being cheated on. Even wonderful people get cheated on sometimes.
Be very picky when you choose a galfriend or wife. Choose a gal with morals and values. Don't just fall for beauty or sex.
Be faithful to her. And last but most importantly, be her friend. when she'll be getting all the emotional and other needs fullfilled from you, why would she ever want another guy. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Agreed, it is mostly men who cheat but that is changing gradually -- it's just that women aren't that open or obvious about it. But it happens as well.

The thing is, many times men cheat for sex but women cheat because they feel emotionally and sentimentally neglected. If your woman doesn't have your full attention, then you're on for some potential problems.... we're just like guys and tend to seek elsewhere what we don't have at home (not saying it's RIGHT, just that it happens). I agree that it's better to leave than to cheat... but sometimes it just happens and we must get real about it. There's no magic solution that will guarantee that someone won't cheat on you.... all you can do is give them your best, all your love, care and attention, and be faithful yourself. The rest is up to the other person -- nothing you can do about it.

Answer 4

As little girls most women dreamed of the day they would have their perfect wedding. Most of us envisioned the perfect wedding with the perfect man. Never did we dream of cheating on this man or any bad stuff that comes with marriage. But we all grow up and life happens. Every person has needs and expectations with marriage. The key to a successful marriage is knowing and understanding each persons needs and expectations. The only way to know eachother so well is through communication. Being honest with eachother creates respect for eachother and the relationship. Withholding your thoughts and feelings allows for confusion and resentment. Communication will prevent infidelity as you are nurturing eachothers needs rather than finding some else who will. Nobody is perfect and every marriage has disagreements. So that is why communication is so important so that no one assumes anything. I hope this helps. Good Luck & God Bless!

Answer 5

Its amazing to me just how many people cheat out there. Both men and women. Personally I haven't but the thought has crossed my mind when it was presented to me. But I really sat and thought about all the pain it would cause everyone involved and I decided against it. I love my husband dearly and always have so I was so confused when the temptation even crossed my path. Now I look back and am very happy I didn't. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I don't think the ones who cheat really think about it. They may just do it and all of a sudden the minor faults of their spouse blow up into huge faults so it makes it easier for them to say the hell with it and cheat. I would have to say if a woman gets lonely or bored she may venture out. I wouldn't say you have to be wonderful all the time who can be, but I would say you need to give her alot of attention and keep your lines of communication open. Its truly a shame but I'll bet there are more couples who cheat than don't.

Answer 6

This question is frustrating because right off the bat it's based on a myth that both men and women like to promulgate. It's also a bit insulting because it suggests that men aren't in the drivers seats when it comes to things like making decisions. Contrary to popular belief men do not think with their hormones. Any guy that blames poor decisions on raging hormones is making poor excuses and making the rest of us look bad. Some men try to justify cheating by saying that men aren't naturally monogamous (part of the misconception that makes this question even sound reasonable). This is a half truth at best. Humans as a species (Both genders) are not truly monogamous in the biological sense of the word. Truly monogamous animals pair bond for life and will not form a new pair bond if their mate dies (although some of them do engage in extra pair bond matings). Humans are sexually flexible. Both monogamy and rampant promiscuity have about the same overall adaptive value to the male of our species. One picks quantity over quality and the other the opposite. What this means in a nutshell is that men can be monogamous, complete womanizers or somewhere in between. The sexual economics are a little different for the female of our species but there are evolutionary bonuses for being "bad" and "Good" for them too. So, since we are neither brazen harlots or saints by nature we can pick either behavior. What this means in a nutshell is that some men and women will say that men and women can't be friends and have lots of people fully willing to blame their hormones instead of taking responsibility for their actions to point out as evidence. It also means that lots of men and women will say that of course we can be JUST friends and they too will have lots of evidence to point out. The very fact that there is so much disagreement about this proves my point. I find it much easier to believe people who don't have a vested interest in making excuses for their behavior though.

Answer 7

my husband isn't perfect all of the time and I don't cheat on him. I am not perfect either and he doesn't cheat on me. Surely you understand that people can't be perfect. I don't think most people cheat, male or female. I think the way to prevent cheating is to try to stay close (Physically and emotionally) with your wife.Keep the communication going no matter what. My husband is not perfect but because he listens to my feelings and tries to meet my needs whenever possible he has my complete devotion. I would never ever cheat on him.

Answer 8

I think the chances of a man cheating are greater. Nobody is perfect. We all profess to our beloved that we would never cheat...but unfortunately not all promises are kept. There are no guarantees that a woman or man will never cheat. No matter if all their needs were met.

Answer 9

Even if my needs were completely ignored I would never cheat - I might LEAVE, but I would NEVER EVER cheat.

Answer 10

Make sure you have the lines of communication open so you can resolve any problems before they get to that point. Make sure she is your friend as well as your girlfriend/wife.
