Not at all.
Some men will just never cheat, no matter how many chances they have.
Some have zero optons, but still spend all their free time trying.

It's an integrity thing,

I agree. I think it's genetics and upbringing. That said, there are people who have a genetic predisposition to go either way and the current availability of partners is not helping things.

Hmm. Woman married 35 years. Never cheated.

Have zero reason to think my DH has cheated either.

I am seeing a big trend in women cheating on their husbands. Three of my close friends cheated on their husbands and two are getting a divorce.

Agreed. Some men will not cheat because of their integrity. Not sure what percent but definitely a good percent of men are good men who wouldn’t cheat.

I cheated. I assure you, it's not genetics. My parents were an excellent example of a great marriage.

I've been married 21 years. Would consider myself fairly attractive. Exercise 6 days a week, full head of hair and abs. I make good money and have the ability of having lots of free time so I handled all of our DC's drop offs and coached their sports. My marriage was essentially sexless for around 6 years. I have had opportunities to cheat and never considered it, unlike the ama guy that almost had an affair. There are some people in the world that believe cheating is just wrong. I would and almost did divorce before I would ever cheat. And when I did think about divorcing during the sexless phase, I didn't have anyone in mind to have sex with.

My mom and I were talking about how there is more opportunity than during her generation and hooking up is more accepted in society and just quicker to pull off. I think it's pulling marriages apart more than there would have been in the past. But that is just an assumption.

You are one person btw. Not a large enough sample size.

I think it has more to do with being a self-aware, long-term thinking person and less to do with integrity TBH. Cheating is playing Russian Roulette with your relationship, so you would think you wouldn't do that unless you were done with your relationship for good (though why you wouldn't just leave is a great question). We're human beings . . . we are wired to attract new mates. It feels great to fall in love (or lust or whatever). Once you're in this territory where you've allowed yourself to get close to someone, I think many people would take that plunge. The key is to understand how tempted you would be and to avoid getting to that point. Unfortunately a lot of people overestimate their own ability to reject temptation.

You need to think about the chances that an affair will bring anything good to your life and how it will affect your partner BEFORE you listen to a siren singing their song. In the throes of a bunch of a hormones is not the time to make serious life decisions.

And a lot of this is related to genetics and upbringing. You are more susceptible both genetically and environmentally to the ills of previous generations. Many people are not long term thinkers about much of anything.

This thread is so DCUM.

The obsession with control. Thinking g you can tell your partner who they can and can't have sex with.

Are you a puppet master?

Laughing at all of the people stating their partner never cheated on them. At least half of you are wrong.

No one put a gun to their head when they took their vows and my man asked me to marry him. Maybe he just shouldn't have. Yes, your comment is typical DCUM.

Who includes fidelity in their vows? What are you, 100 years old?

No one cares about vows. It's just something you say. Theater.
