And just to add support, I have spoken to females who say that they don't care if their man is cheating, as long as they are not being disrespected and use protection.

In 2011, I cannot understand why a woman would be surprised if their man/husband cheated.
It may be a little jaded to say that. I understand in today's world there are circumstances and relationships that have the type of arrangement where it's accepted though it is frowned upon, but it's not for us to say why be surprised.

There's no myth behind it and it's quite simple. If you truly love someone, you're not going to betray them like that. If you cheat on your SO, you don't love nor respect them.

I only wish the world were so black and white my friend.

In reality, the world is made up of many shades of gray

There's no gray here. Cheating means you don't love or respect the person. It's quite simple.

Simple for you, and that's great!

But in the bigger picture, this is just sometimes a lot more complicated than you can currently appreciate.

Men are particularly adept at being able to "compartmentalize", meaning in their minds one thing they do does not have to have any relation to something else they do.

Read up on this a bit to try to understand it better. Not saying you ever have to agree it's "okay", but you do need to try to see that it just is what it is and does exist

Why not f his brains out like a mad monkey at home so he doesn't have the urge?

It may be simple if you're programmed to think in a simple-minded fashion. Life is rarely so clear-cut.

Not at all, just providing some reading material for you to see that there is more to this subject than you may realize

Feel free to google better articles for yourself
