Do you want to know why men cheat when they have a great woman at home? Has it happened to someone you know? Are you afraid that you might be next? Any man can fall into the trap of infidelity, so if you don't want it to happen to you (or to happen again) you need to understand the psychology of why men cheat.
Maybe it's him.
Men have a unique capacity to compartmentalize aspects of their life, and sex is a different experience for him than it is for you. Consequently, he can feel like an affair is a totally detached and different life from the reality of his home and family. And he can have an affair without falling in love with her or losing love for you. Sex is an external act for a man, with less intimacy associated with the physical deed for him, when it is outside of a loving relationship. These psychological and social factors do not condone his actions, but rather are meant to reveal that even a good man can be susceptible to temptation.
Maybe it's you.
Are you still giving your man the smiles and little touches and words that keep him connected to you with a warm and welcoming physical-emotional bond? Men, like dogs, are very loyal creatures-but a passing squirrel can grab their attention if the bond does not remain magnetic and constant. Is incessant nagging, or even obvious disappointment in his role as a provider, eroding that loving feeling? Men are tender and sensitive, just like you, except they have no outside support system from their buddies like you have with Mom and your girlfriends. They need a way to feel complete, admired, and at ease. Don't let your relationship be filled with the reasons for why men cheat.
Maybe it's boredom.
Infidelity offers the thrill of something new and exciting for both men and women. The tenth scoop of ice cream is never as delightful or satisfying as the first, and a new flavor once in a while keeps things interesting. You can't be seven different women, which is what men really want. But you can make life fun again and get out of deadly ruts. Be the happy girl with the smiling eyes, the winning laughter, and those little cheek-smooches again.
Recreate some of those early magical situations and dates that made him fall in love with you. Go and shoot some pool over a few beers with him, or pop open a bottle of wine after dinner, and then attack him on the sofa. Try some candles in the bedroom, and be sure to change up those three or four predictable steps that your lovemaking sessions have fallen into-and come back for seconds or gently wake him in the middle of the night for another round. Men love quick morning sex (and surprise afternoon sex) too.
If you keep life fun and interesting and understand why men cheat, you can spare yourself the heartbreak of infidelity.
