More married women than men are cheating in some age groups now.

Times have changed.

I think people just get bored. Affairs are messed up, but certainly shakes up a monotonous life.

I want to ask this question to the 82 y. o. woman who played tennis with my dad twenty five years ago.

They cheat because they are married. If they weren’t married, they wouldn’t be cheating, they would be sleeping around.

Men sleep around because of biology. Men get married because they are unable to self-regulate and need women to do that work for them.

I thought many women break marriages over cheating…

Unfortunately people assume women dumped their husbands because they cheated.


Most divorces happen because of finances. Second to that is infidelity - men and women. Women are usually better at hiding it.

So sexist I don’t know where to begin. I’d never date a man who can’t “self-regulate”. This skill should be taught in pre-school.

I assume because one was a spender and the other wasn’t. When you know the couples it obvious.

I’ve thought about this for years. Took my ex husband and I a long time to buy a home, get two good jobs, birth three wonderful kids… all for that to be blown up by his affair. We literally had just become financially stable when everything was blown up. Now he lost his career, I barely make enough to save anything, and kids are coping with 50/50. Quality of life went downhill for everyone. But, ex is still with AP, and I suppose they are happy (albeit not living together). I suppose it was worth it in his mind.

Never would admit it wasn’t worth it

She will dump him because the excitement factor is gone. She got what she wanted ie for him to leave another woman for her.

According to mine, I stopped giving him time after the birth of our son and he "sought something to fulfill." And I did ask the young woman he cheated with and she said they had a connection.

Literally anything else I could do with a friend (go hiking, share a meal, watch a movie, etc) but sex is different. If my spouse ever cheats I'm gone.
