[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, they may still love their partner very much. Even be in love with them and want to stay in the marriage. But some of their fundamental needs are going unmet so they cheat to feel satisfied again. To feel like it’s ok for them to have needs, which are often getting shut down due to issues in the primary relationship.[/quote]

These people usually don't even articulate these needs to the spouse before looking to the outside.  Some of this is due to 'toxic masculinity' and childhood needs having been ignored.  They bury everything down inside and the extracurricular partner/sex is a numbing of those issues/pain.  It's temporary.  They usually end up feeling worse about themselves when they actually slow down.  These are the people that when they blow up a great marriage with a wife they loved dearly, they sit there shell-shocked and can't believe they did this.  It often takes a partner leaving --these are the same people begging, pleading, crying, doing anything to win the spouse back.
