It's hard to b married and hard to b single.  It's hard either way.  U can't depend on someone else to make u happy.  U can b a happy person in a terrible marriage or an unhappy person in a great marriage. It's true.  I think it's easy to b attracted or get a fix from someone wanting u or telling u they love u or making u feel important or special.  Married people tend to get in a rut or switch to auto pilot and days or months can go by with no romance, and after awhile its easy to feel like why be here ?  It doesn't seem to make much difference I might as well just do my thing.  You fight over the same old crap til u just learn to tune it out or get quiet or snap.  Or u internalize the wrongs rather than rewrite them.  Life and relationships are stressful.  People are selfish and everyone deals with stress differently.  

The bottom line is if there is something missing in the marriage or of needs aren't getting met at some point someone may cheat.  Everyone has a different threshold.  Some may leave rather than cheat or some may live in their own isolated mental prisons.

In the end I think it comes down to what u can live with, love and forgiveness.

Just my thoughts.  Hobby

I contend that some don't feel they have to play by the rules and that they cheat when it has absolutley nothing to do with the other person.  More about their own inadequacies and need for attention.   Often it has absolutely nothing to do with the relationship or their partner but more to do with their own emptiness and shallow state of character.

Well let me put it like this, some people should never get married, but i will tell you this when i was single i never stayed true to one girl, for me it was something i was missing in the relationship, and i think thats what most of it comes down too. When i got married it changed for me, i was able to talk about things i wanted and what she wanted, i believe in my heart that its something where partners dont talk and then you have creepin instead of communicating. Women chat because not about the sex but what is said, its romance and things the husband has loss in the marriage guys tend to get relax and women (Thats theirs nothing wrong with it) but women need to be told theyre sexy, their the light of the husband life, every once in awile a woman needs to be pampered. men are dogs(not all) but the bottom line is men are selfish we always want more. At some point women have to be number one, if not guys look close because your women might be creepin.

It takes a lifetime to be faithful forever but only minutes to cheat.
