Why do some men look elsewhere when their wives are pregnant?

[Anonymous]

I’ve seen this happen many times. Men tend to seek intimacy with other women during this time. Why do some men look elsewhere during this time? I feel sorry for their wives, carrying their child and he goes looking elsewhere behind her back. Ridiculous.

Jeez, what kind of people do you know OP? That never happened in my circle. If anything, the husbands were MORE affectionate to their expecting wives. It was always sweet to watch.

Why would I have looked elsewhere? My wife was so hot when she was knocked up.

“Many times”? I think it’s unusual and sleazy.

It’s not just men. I know Lesbian couples where this happened.

Let alone 'many times'.

I think pregnant women are sooo sexy. I was never hornier for my wife than when she was expecting. Maybe not the last week or two, but everything before that.

It does happen, but who really knows just how often it does.

Many do this OP because many women don't want sex during pregnancy, whether it's hormonal, sick/tired, etc... So, the men look elsewhere. They cannot not have sex for a while six to nine months. That would be unthinkable for them. It's pure selfishness.

I know 2 women this happened to. One a colleague and one an old college teammate. It was devastating for them both. I have a feeling their husbands had been cheating before the pregnancy though.

I know two men who cheated while their wives were pregnant, including my ex-husband.

I don't know whether my n=2 tells us anything, as the situations were pretty different.

In one of the case, the pregnancy followed years of infertility that was causing stress in the relationship.

In the other, the pregnancy was easy but the man had a history of cheating.

In both cases, it ultimately ate away at and destroyed the marriage because the betrayal felt so much heavier under the circumstances.

I think sometimes the couple was already on the rocks and the baby is a band-aid baby.

Really?

That’s nice to hear.

In which way are they sexy? The fact that their carrying your child and are maternal or their physical look as in the growing bump?

Many pregnant woman don’t feel sexy due swollen feet, unwanted hair, stretch marks, etc, so do men still think they’re sexy despite their changing physical appearance?

I think the question is really "why do some men/women look elsewhere?" Full stop. Because they do it when their wives are pregnant. When their wives aren't pregnant. They do it whenever. There is always a milestone or special something (a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday ...) that can be held against the cheater by the cheated upon to express how much worse it is because the cheater cheated at that particular time (my birthday! President's Day! Our anniversary!).

But, it isn't. Because the cheater is just cheating without a thought for you at all. It isn't worse that he cheated the same week as your birthday when you were pregnant for little Larlo. It isn't. It doesn't matter that your cheater cheated in your anniversary month. It isn't of any significance that your cheater took time between Christmas and New Year's to see his girlfriend, and didn't spend that time with your family. Because none of it actually had anything to do with you, the cheated upon. It has everything to do with the selfishness of the cheater.

My wife's tits and ass were plump and nice.

I know of two guys who did this, too. One guy did it with both pregnancies!
