People have a tendency to constantly believe what they have is not the best and there is better waiting out there for them. They don't want to lose what they have till they find something better. Fear of being alone....fear of staying in the same situation if there is better out there. Grass only gets green and beautiful if you water and maintain it!!2

Damn straight! I spend a lot of money every year to make sure my lawn is immaculate while ensuring my neighbor's lawns look like a toxic waste dump.
As the saying goes, "the grass is always greener on the other side". I AM THE OTHER SIDE.4 -
An acquaintance of mine said he cheated because his spouse forgot that he vowed to be monogamous NOT celibate. . .3

I believe People cheat because they're missing something in their lives and rather than talking to their partner about it, they let themselves be selfish and stray which is a very cowardly act. Talk with your partner about your needs and what's going on inside your heart and your mind. I really believe that unless you have a problem or addiction with sex, cheating is more a cry out for affection and companionship that for some reason us missing in their relationship. Seek help if your relationship matters to you, be honest with your partner and attend counseling as a couple and individually if need be. And if you feel you want to seek relationships elsewhere, get a divorce or break up first! The pain of being cheated on is the most horrible feeling of betrayal and can mess with a person's self worth and self esteem!
It also makes one feel that the entire relationship was a lie and that none of it was ever real! If you Really truly Love someone, with every part of you ... Fidelity is key and the most selfless gift one can show to their partner.
And to the other side, listen and show understanding rather than anger and judgement. If your partner comes to you with honesty, this is them loving you and wanting those feelings to go away.
Seek help & Love one another ❤️8 -
If a person “cheats” on their partner, obviously their cheating on them but aren’t they also being true to themselves, assuming that’s their nature?
So then the question becomes, to whom should they be true? Themselves, their partner, the institution of marriage/commitment?
*disclaimers note - this is just a question in my mind that only provokes more thought. It’s neither a justification for one side nor judgement for the other…5 -
Many do it for financial reasons, it's cheaper to keep them than lose everything. Homes, vehicles, boats, retirement, spousal and child support payments...so they cheat while still being miserable at home. I worked with someone who got away with it for 50 years. He told everyone this is exactly why he did it. He refused to give away all of his hard-earned income.
Many women stay in miserable marriages for financial reasons, too. Insurance, retirement, childcare and overall standard of living - it goes down with a divorce. So they stay and gut it out until the end. That road runs both directions.7 -

Did we work with the same guy??
Thing is, the fellow I knew, his wife had always worked and was the higher earner. Yet he still thought of it as "his" stuff when she had contributed more than half of the household income.
I don't know if she ever became aware that he was cheating but she never left and he was eventually grateful for her because his health declined rapidly in his 60s and she provided care for him. None of his flings would have stuck it out.2 -
