I keep hearing from women, in this thread and other places, that when a woman cheats it's because she was neglected. I was cheated on, it hurt a lot, and after much thought and soul searching I'm still learning - that when someone cheats it shows something wrong with the cheater, not with their partner.

Women are so quick to justify female cheating as a coping mechanism... they weren't feeling loved... their husband didn't make them feel valued, etc

Men show love, and need to be showed love, differently than women do. Never once have I seen, from a man or a woman, anyone show the male side of the coin that when men cheat they could be seeking love as well.

Yet when women cheat, it's always painted as the guy's fault. He just wasn't good enough.

Well, I am good enough.

A lie is a lie is a lie. If you tell your partner you will be faithful only to them, then that changes without you ever telling them, they are living faithful to you - living in a lie that only you know the truth about - it is an incredible violation of the other person

If a woman isn't happy in her relationship, many times that is equally her fault as her husbands. She should either fix the problem, end it, or be honest with her partner that she needs to go outside the marriage to get what she needs. Don't blame the children. In the end the divorce happens anyways, the children adjust and life goes on. End it before being unfaithful

This is so right.. but then... may be we want a candy on Tuesday, Chocolate Thursday and ice cream Saturday.

Commitment... it is such a BIG word.

No commitment... no expectation...

Nothing wrong with having chocolate on tuesday, vanilla on wednesday and maybe strawberry on thursday. Heck, have sushi on saturday and tubesteak on sunday for all I care. No commitment... no expectation. No marriage... no commitment. Or maybe get one of those marriages where you can eat where ever you want. It's all good as long as everyones on the same page.

Actually an internet forum where it is anonymous people are able to discuss things openly that they might otherwise hide if their identity were revealed

Yes, but if you frequent a site and you kinda-sorta have friends there, you aren't likely to reveal certain things about yourself because you've kind of established yourself with people - even though you may never meet these people in person and they don't know your real name.

That's true. Especially someone with almost 2,000 posts and a solid reputation. Reading between the lines. (just a joke)

No, I've never had an affair on my husband. I just couldn't do that. I've been cheated on by a boyfriend in the past and so I couldn't do that to my husband. So no cheatin' here!
