Why do men always want to "cheat"?

There is a saying: "There is no cat that doesn't steal fish", and we often use this saying to describe men cheating. For a normal man, three, seven, or ten years after marriage, he will always have the idea of ​​"cheating". Whether it is active or passive, or it is the three-year pain or the seven-year itch, no matter what the reason, married men are most likely to cheat. So, why are married men most likely to cheat? This is a question worth our deep consideration. To this end, Newman surveyed 200 married men, including those who had affairs and those who did not, and discovered five reasons why men cheat. This also solved the question of why men are most likely to cheat after marriage.

66% of men feel guilty when they cheat

Even though men are thinking about cheating, guilt will arise in their minds. But it turns out that 66% of cheating men never actually thought about being unfaithful, and almost all of them wish they hadn't cheated. But obviously, guilt can't stop a man from cheating. So, even if your man swears that he will be loyal forever, don't believe it easily. Remind him when necessary and supervise him when necessary.

77% of cheating men have a good friend who has an affair

The principle of "birds of a feather flock together" also applies to male infidelity. Hanging out with friends who cheat can make a man feel like infidelity is normal. His subconscious mind told himself: My friend is a good man, he just happened to cheat on his wife. Perhaps even the best men can’t avoid cheating. Therefore, try to let your man have less contact with "cheating men", let him go to bars less often, and do more outdoor sports, such as fishing, which is good. Most fishermen are men. Another strategy: Surround yourself with happy families who share your values; this will create an environment that protects marriages.

48% of men cheat because of emotional dissatisfaction

The survey shows that 48% of men believe that the primary reason they cheat is that they are not satisfied emotionally. "Men are emotional beings, too," Newman says. "They want to be appreciated by their wives and to know how hard they work to get things done." The problem is, unlike women, men rarely express these feelings. Therefore, praise and be considerate of your man often, make him feel that you need him, care about him, and worry about him, and make him feel that you are spiritually compatible with him. Of course, physical satisfaction is also important. After all, 8% of men say that sexual dissatisfaction is the main reason for their cheating.

12% of men think mistresses are more attractive than wives

The principle that opposites attract makes men and women attracted to each other and come together. Among the unfaithful men surveyed, only 12% thought that their mistress's body was more attractive than their wife's. In other words, a man is not likely to cheat just to get better sex from a more beautiful woman. "Most of the time, he's cheating to fill an emotional void," Newman says. "He develops feelings for the other woman, and sex follows." So, you should focus on making your relationship sweeter and closer, rather than just caring about whether you're physically satisfied with each other or whether your sex life is fresh enough.

40% of cheating men met another woman through work

Why do so many extramarital affairs take place in the office? "Usually, the person he cheats with is a woman in the office who admires him, respects him, and praises his efforts," Newman said. "That's another important reason to make him feel valued at home." So avoid having the two of them have dinner together (even if it's to discuss work), avoid having them both work late together, avoid having them go out for meetings alone... Ask him how he'd feel if you did these things with a male coworker.

Therefore, the emergence of the above reasons is by no means one-sided. Not only men have certain problems, but women also have problems. If women want to nip extramarital affairs in the bud, they must start with themselves and never let themselves fall into the above situations, which would lead men to use them as an excuse to cheat.
