1.
They're Avoiding Intimacy
"Some men cheat to avoid any real
intimacy. Intimacy scares them, so they distance themselves from their wife or
girlfriend by cheating on her" says psychiatrist Gail Saltz, MD. This way
they never have to fully rely on someone else, so they can't get hurt. Yeah, it
makes sense in their minds
2. They Crave Intimacy
On the flip side, some men are searching for
intimacy outside of their relationship. According sex expert Emily Morse, some
couples drift apart over time and don't communicate about their lack of
intimacy. When that happens, some men think it's easier to just cheat instead
of talking about it.
3.
Their Libido Needs a Boost
You know how it goes—you can't get enough of
each other at the beginning. But after a while, things feel more
comfortable…which isn't a bad thing. Some men crave that newness again and go
elsewhere to find it.
4. They Want Control
Dr. Saltz says some men are unfaithful
because they want control and power in the relationship, and cheating puts the
ball in their court.
5. They Lack Willpower
Morse says that some men are just plain weak.
They give into a sexual affair, "simply because the opportunity presented
itself and they weren't strong enough to say no." Sounds like a cop-out to
us.
6. They've Gotten Away
With it Before
According to Dr. Saltz, not every cheater is
a repeat offender, but they can be—especially if they haven't worked on
figuring out what drove them to in the first place or if they just don't care
about anyone but themselves.
