[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me it sounds like the possible affair could be part of a larger mental health episode.  Could you be cycling from depression to hypomania? [/quote]

Interesting that [b]when women want to have sex outside their marriage, it's due to some underlying mental health, resentment, anger issues[/b].  Men do it because - wait for it - sex with someone new is awesome.[/quote]

Who told you that? You'd be surprised how many women share the men's point of view. I'm female, and it makes me sad our society and family structure requires monogamy. It's men's fault! :lol: [/quote]

PP that you are responding to. I am merely a man reading all the psychology with amusement.  On one hand, when a woman says she wants to cheat, other women start dissecting her dissatisfaction with the marriage.  On the other hand, there is almost always something wrong with the marriage - I have yet to meet a woman who is deeply in love with her husband and has a good sex life at home that still cheats (but I know they exist).

Men are different.  No man looks at another man who confesses to an affair and questions his sanity.  Men know why men cheat; every single man wants to have sex with other women, the reason we don't is somewhere between morals and opportunity.  But the urge is always there.

And I totally agree monogamy is an awful construct, but I disagree it is imposed by men.  [b]Gay men are rarely monogamous.[/b]  When it's left up to men, no one has the illusion that monogamy is a good idea.  [/quote]

Even all those newly married couples? Anyway, of course men don't want monogamy for themselves :lol: They want it for their women. Parental uncertainty and all that junk. However, this did backfire thanks to women's lib, and now wives require monogamy from their husbands. Serves you right :lol: [/quote]
