Do all men cheat?

You are possibly the only aware and self aware person of DCUM.

And even among those of us who are not, many still feel like that awkward teenage nerd we once were...and that we married up.

I’m not naive but I’m pretty sure only 2 of the boyfriends I had cheated, and told me afterward. Another boyfriend asked for an open relationship. I’m pretty confident ex DH and my other boyfriends never cheated.

I would be very surprised if some of my friends’ husbands cheated. They seem so average looking and stand up fathers and husbands.

It also boggles my mind that people say women are throwing themselves at men when I’ve been on OLD and most men can’t even get women to go on a date with them.

I actually wish my husband was cheating on me. But instead he’s a controlling freak who tracks my location and reads through my messages . I can’t even sneeze without him knowing about it. If he had a side piece he would maybe finally stop.

OMG you are me! I literally said this yesterday as he serial called me because I did not come home when he put my location on google maps and added a 5 minute grace period. I stopped to pickup a few groceries. Mine is exactly that and needs a second job badly. I think a lot of his time is misused on planning, scheming and trying to map out my every move. I wish he had a side chick too so then I can get a side piece as well and we will both be happy.

Because all the women are throwing themselves at the same handful of men! Those are the ones that have ample opportunities to cheat .

And nearly 95% are not in the top 5%.

Turns out he was having anonymous hookups with men.

So, yeah, that pretty much ruined my faith in men (who are good looking enough to have opportunities).

Must have been shocking. Is he gay?

He says he's straight. But obviously not.

It’s flattering certainly, but the idea of being dishonorable, and NOT being a man of my word is so far beneath me that I can’t even relate to the concept. Maybe it’s the Great Plains part of the country I came from, but to not keep your vow makes you complete trash. Growing up, “a man’s word” was everything, in all aspects of life. The adults around me would conduct business commit to buying and selling thousands of head of cattle with only a handshake.

With that perspective, I’d say to assume that a liar and cheater tends to be high-testosterone is off base. I’d say the opposite is true. I’d call him a pussy.

I suppose it doesn’t hurt that the sex life at home is still amazing . We both made lifelong vows to “love and cherish”, so having married a woman who is also honorable is certainly part of the equation.

That’s it right there in bold. I can 100% guarantee a different response from you in a dead bedroom marriage. The men who are sexually satisfied at home rarely cheat. The other men are all cheating (or at least trying to).

Lots of cake eaters around too. I think people just get bored after 15+ years and if an opportunity presents itself they take it.

I would still be a man of my word and honor my vows. Particularly if she had some sort of medical reason.

If the spouse had simply stopped being loving… well then that’s a deeper situation where one spouse out of the two has already started to abandon her vows.

Not all but it is not rare. Bastards also get born, you know!

Every guy friend I've had -- single or married-- told me he has cheated.

I've never cheated in any relationship. I'm being tempted for the first time right now. What helps me it's that what guys see as flirting is often not firing, so it helps me sleep at night knowing that she's probably not flirting with me. All I've done so far is go to her for some paperwork stuff that's like once a year.

It doesn't help that I was reading (I think it was Proverbs maybe Psalms where it mentions adulteress a lot) and the dream wasn't like a wet dream you get as a teenager, nope it was like a stern warning like this is what will happen if you go down that road. Well, that's how I took it. Like a lump of coal.

Still, I just wish my wife treated me better.

Same thing happened to me. Now I feel like any guy can cheat no matter what they say they are like.
