DeadEyeDick agony auntI have a sense in my mind, ive had it my whole life, sometimes I wonder if im just a pussy, but ive just come out of an 8 year relationship, that I never once did anything innapropriate with another female, and I never have with any previous girlfriends, I just don't see the point, ive been in some pretty nerve racking situations, and even in one scary situation, and it's never been good enough to make me fold, I keep myself away from places I know I might get into a corner! I dont ever make other girls believe im anything more then just friendly conversation, and nothing else, I have a girlfriend for a reason, and if I dont feel im anything but fully interested, i dont even get into a relationship period! Im really honestly starting to wonder if faithfullness is even that relevant to anyone other then me! as ive now been cheated on in 3 relationships, and im really starting to question what the point is in passing up action, at the expense of what? my own conscience? obviously the girlfriends didnt care that I was faithfull! so I think in my next relationship, if I do have the oppurtunity, Im going to try something new!!

Stayc63088 agony auntMen cheat for a couple reasons, maybe not into the relationship anymore but too coward to end it, a chick throws themselves at them and they can't turn it down... But I've been told the number one reason is that they don't feel appreciated. So then the skank shows up and shows him interest and is fawning all over him, he goes home and just gets a bunch of nagging from his girlfriend or wife... So he cheats. I understand it in a way, in no way condone it of course. I think if there is open communication in a relationship then all he should say is "I don't feel appreciated". That may just be in older men though. I feel like I may have gone on a seperate tangent. But basically, not only one reason why men will cheat. Ultimately I think a cheater is a coward, too afraid to say how he feels but wants to keep the girlfriend around rather than end it.

eyeswideopen agony auntA man (or woman) cheats because they have no honor or integrity, pure and simple. People who do have honor and integrity end a relationship before starting a new one.

I think the number one reason is opportunity. If a woman offers free sex, even a good man will probably go for it. They are not used to being pursued as much as women; women get propositioned at least once or twice a day, men only get that per week if lucky. So its a huge ego boost. This was my ex's reason for cheating. He says there was nothing I did to make him do it.
