1. Women who haven’t learned how to articulate needs or set boundaries and stop believing that cheating is wrong or the temptation gets high.
2. Women who have done the above but their partner hasn’t respected them and they feel trapped in the marriage because of kids and finances, and they slowly stop believing that cheating is wrong or the temptation gets to be too much for them.
3. Those of any gender who have unmanaged mental health issues, lack a strong moral foundation, and has the opportunity. (Compartmentalization to justify cheating is a mental health issue, as is self-loathing)
4. The above except without the mental health issues, but worse morals and more opportunity.
5. I think entwined in all of these is often lack of understanding of female sexuality. Dead bedrooms come from duty sex comes from a lack of desire comes from a situation where the man or the man and the woman don’t understand that desire is not internal, it’s a response to stimuli.
6. Sociopaths.
It’s kinda crazy that so many of these issues could be taken care of by pretty simple interventions. It’s like the Israelites refusing to look at the serpent because the solution couldn’t have possibly been that simple. (I’m an atheist but that’s one of my favorite stories ever)
+100. So true.
