Why do good men risk cheating?

Good men cheat sometimes, but what do they get from cheating on their wives that makes it worth the risk for them? Some of the answers to this question may shock and surprise you.

1) They don’t think they’ll get caught. Yes. For some men, that’s the answer in a nutshell. Do not doubt it, there are many men who cheat for this reason. They never believe that they will be caught in the act. As a result, they take big risks and find out too late how much this risk is going to cost them before it’s all said and done, and not all price tags have a dollar amount attached to them.

2) She makes him feel smart, funny, handsome, and full of vitality and vigor. She laughs at her jokes, tells him how much she respects him, and strokes his ego generously. Your husband loves you to a fault, but he sure as hell’s gone when another woman offers him the adulation he freely craves. While it’s not your fault that he cheated on you, he tries to remember how long it’s been since you offered him the same kind of flattery that he gets from that other woman.

3) You feel scolded, stressed, used and mistreated at home. While this may not be the case at all, it’s about how you feel and not what you are or aren’t. If he feels that you are bothering or harassing him, then he will find more and more excuses not to come home while you are awake. Another woman’s arms, as far as he is concerned, are an effective crutch that she won’t mind leaning on when the need arises. Eliminate this particular problem by learning how to talk to her husband to get results and not the mental mute button on your remote control of life.

4) The other woman represents a complete lack of responsibility. Without conditions. She knows he is married and doesn’t demand his time or attention. She is happy with what he has to offer. It’s an unrealistic expectation to compete against and one that she’ll eventually find herself not as attractive as she was at first glance. Unfortunately, she can do a lot of damage during that time. The only counterbalance to that is setting goals together that you both want to achieve and working as a team to achieve those goals. It’s different when he’s working for something he wants and not something he feels is arbitrary or dictated by you.
