Yes, it's true.
Not just married men though, some married women are unfaithful as well. Some researchers tell us that as many as 80% (8 out of 10) couples have or have had a cheating partner.
It's not a new problem, although some people try to make it seem as though it is. Some of earliest recorded history and literature make mention of infidelity.
The question that social scientists ask is not whether it happens, but why.

I will use "love" below in the meaning that most people have for it, though I personally see it differently.
People tend to confuse their "emotional attachment" to someone with the physical act of sex.
The urge for sex is instinctual, there is nothing one can do to make it go away, it is an innate part of our nature.
According to most people, "emotional attachment" or "love" is the commitment and devotion one has and shows to another person, as well as, a personal choice, as opposed to a hormonal reaction, such as the urge for sex.
Yes, having sex with someone one cares for can be intense, the feeling of connection and its beautiful, I agree, but again, sex and "love" are different processes.
Now, if you're referring to polyamory, I don't find anything wrong with it, as long as both parties agree to such. Having an open relationship can be a very wonderful experience if both people are secure of themselves personally and their partners.
But if there has been a clear agreement to monogamy, yes, infidelity can still take place, unfortunately, that is the risk one must be willing to accept when in a monogamous relationship, that the partner will make the choice to indulge in their urge. Though there are plenty of men and women out there who can remain faithful in a monogamous relationship...sex and "love" do not go hand in hand naturally, so infidelity can still take place no matter how much a man may care for his lady.

i think of that if it did no longer reason such discomfort to the guy they enjoyed, extra adult adult males might cheat. yet, there are additionally many adult adult males who take their vows heavily. Why situation approximately some thing that could or won't happen? You in no way understand what's going to happen in existence. so a procedures as particularly loving somebody and cheating - confident a guy can particularly love a woman and cheat; it particularly is intercourse or a ethical booster and that they in no way think of they gets caught. it particularly is whilst they see the discomfort they led to and then do it returned that they instruct the only love they have is for theirself. and you asked approximately adult adult males; subsequently i'm no longer pointing out cheating women; all of us understand women cheat additionally.

if it is true... then they are not in love... I mean in my opinion love doesn't consider cheating on anybody... If you love the person you only have eyes for her/him... even if it is a men...
I don't know your situation but the truth is if a man love you then he will NEVER cheat on you.

Those that cheat love themselves more than anyone else...it takes a very selfish person to cheat. Someone who doesn't care that it may hurt others...
I wouldn't say a person who does that is terribly in love with their spouse...although they may have some warm feelings, they're more like lukewarm at best...
