| | | Why do people cheat?
Got the idea from this topic
I actually asked a lot of men who i know cheated on their girlfriends/wives and thats the answers i got:
- I cheat just because i can.
- Im away for a long time and i have needs
- When you are in a different country it doesnt count
- My wife/girlfriend doesnt want to have sex any more
- I fell in love with someone else but i also love my wife/girlfriend
- My relationship is dead but its too much hassle to break up
I guess when you are "one of the guys" people tell you things  I dont have any answers from women because basically i didnt ask any :P

... he/she makes you feel desirable again
... you married someone who is the perfect societal match but not whom your heart would choose
... you have different sexual needs to the partner or don't dare discuss those needs
... you feel taken for granted
... your partner is overly controlling, so you try to escape
... sex is not just sex but a sort of bargaining tool
So many reasons... not all can be avoided but some definitely could if people stopped assuming things and just talked to each other.

I think, in my opinion, because I am a woman... I think 
I think women often cheat because they are unhappy in their relationship or something is missing in their relationship...

My 2 cents : I don't understand why people cheat. It's like if they didn't understand the chance they have to be with somebody who love them.

Women are no different than men, it's just very few will admit to being "horny".
