Rather than bashing men and women how about how terrible they are, they are a ***** or calling them names for cheating, lets discuss what drives men and women to cheat?
What do you think drives a person to cheat nowadays?
Any reasons, logic, and some psychology help to see why people would cheat on their partner
There are definitely a lot of factors but what would be the top reasons that cause or gives a person temptations of infidelity?

A lot of things, sometimes being in love with him for the time, sometime our fantasy of happily ever after, is stronger then current relationship.

An aweful sex life coupled with the prospects of huge finanical loss in the divorce. Usually the person thinks that if they ask for a divorce its going to get messy and cost big money so they cheat for as long as they can putting off the massive finanical hit.

Hormones, lack of respect, short attention span. Boredom with the mate.

I know what you and Bob are saying, but "lack of respect" doesn't DRIVE it, unless they are a total psycho.

There are as many "reasons" as there are people, and the reasons are usually just justifications to perpetuate a bad choice.

But most people are driven by what they perceive is a need they have to fulfill, something they are missing. So they come up with reasons in their head to pursue the affair. As a result, they act in ways that definitely disrespect their partner, but that's not usually WHY you do it.

Lack of respect is a result, not a cause.

Recent thread along the same topic

//www.city-data.com/forum/relat...ople-have.html



Stressors internal and external to the family that drives a wedge between the couple. They stop being a couple but rather two people just going through the motions of daily life (survival?). They stop being each others' source for support and needs.

Yes.. I agree with this.

Symptom but not the cause.

Not meeting each other's needs. Becoming roommates in a marriage. Lack of open communication and understanding. Holding other things or people above you and your spouse (ex. kids, parents, friends, pets, job, money, status, outside attention, ...)
