I read this word and total first interpretation is
'Doequister' meaning an "inquisitor of a doe"
...makes sense...someones gotta ask those questions, and those deer need to advocate for themselves!2 -
So I was reading all the responses and I agreed with most but then some people started writing essays so my eyes got tired but this is my pov..I’ve never had a serious relationship growing up, up until I got married at 23..never really had the example of how to appreciate women for who/what they are. I grew up with a womanizer that was raised by another one. So upon meeting my wife, our intentions was never to get married but we got serious and did. So fast forward 7 years in and I had multiple affairs. Almost 3 years later and is still a very difficult state. I flirted and didn’t watch my boundary and also stopped communicating with my accountability partner. Blinded by the excitement of having someone else want you really was a major drive in the act. Even so, I never really believed I would ever let myself go there. And the deeper I got into it, the more justification I created when the shame hovered over me.. I got depressed because of the fear of losing what I loved most. So the contradiction of loving someone and hurting them at the same time, I never really understood, and at an earlier stage in my life I didn’t believe it was possible. Anyways truth came out, and it absolutely shattered my wife and kids and myself. To this day it’s hard for me to forgive myself for what I did and I can’t even begin to imagine how much more difficult it is for my wife. So there’s no one reason as to why people cheat, I think is more complex than that. But to simplify it, is pure selfishness, entitlement, and pride that are at the core of it. I’m sorry for the people that have fell victim to it. We would never fully understand..it’s like a man fully understanding pregnancy..damn this was long 🤦♂️9

If you have lived this experience, have you ignored it, faced it or paid it back?0

Many reasons: lack of self-awareness, inability to communicate openly and perhaps - saddest of all - insecurity0

People cheat because they can (some can't, due to lack of an available partner) and they have a desire which is unfulfilled in their current relationship.
I think that men are more polygamous than women. You can see that when you look at gay male relationships, many have an open relationship, where you can bring home a new guy if you follow certain rules. We're talking 40% vs 4% for men vs women (after a cursory Google search). Certainly if I were gay (I'm a guy) I would not marry or shack up with someone unless it were open to some degree.
This would imply that men like sexual variety. This is not surprising since some gay men have 500+ lifetime sexual partners.
Heterosexual women aren't left behind however, DNA testing has shown that 5-10% of the poorest families the mother has been seeking attention elsewhere and ended up getting pregnant. I think that is a risky strategy in a world of 23andMe DNA testing websites. There's probably a lot more women who strayed and didn't get pregnant.2 -
It sucks but we aren't made to be monogamous. Divorce and cheating rates prove that humans suck at monogamy.4

I think it's because they are extremely lonely, the passion that once existed died out. Lack of communication and intimacy can really damage a relationship.3

This thread is like the million dollar question? I’ve always thought because they (the cheaters) were unfulfilled in their relationships but I actually now look at that and regret thinking in that way as it takes away from the feelings and actions of the person they are cheating on, as it assumes that partner isn’t doing something right but I don’t think it’s fair to say that.2

We cheat to feel alive and to expand our sense of self desire....your thoughts???!!
Never cheated, only talked. Was in love with all my exes. Cheating/cheater, are bored with the relationship, an to scared to talk about . Im guessing.

I thought this was gonna be about eating a whole pizza in bed on a frisky Sunday afternoon.
Thats dirty! I thought everyone was going off topic and kept reading to find out why I am cheating my mfp diary out of knowing about girl scout cookies. This is obviously a slippery slope that I must stop, I’m so afraid to hurt my husband I must tell him right away!

Confused, lonely, desperate to feel excitement, wanting to feel wanted, etc. No one really knows. They’re all different reasons. The only one thing is we all have a choice. Do it or don’t do it. It’s your choice.2

Because they are selfish and don't know what they have.1

I cheat usually because I haven't meal prepped. It is a quick easy fix. Sometimes a burger is willing to do the things my chicken and rice isnt10
