Why do guys in serious long-term relationships (2 yrs+) cheat on their girlfriends? Why not just break up first?

It's time for a little honesty and some things you don't want to hear that you won't like. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go.

A guy in a long-term relationship will cheat on his girl and not break up with her because he doesn't want to lose her. He wants to sleep with other women that he has no intention of doing anything else with aside from boinking and then come back to you, the woman he actually loves. Now one might say, how can you truly love somebody and cheat on them. And you'd be right to ask that question. I think a lot of men have this uncanny ability to completely compartmentalize their emotional and physical needs.

Not that it's right. Be clear, I'm not saying it's right.

This dude can go sleep with a woman and have not one iota of emotional connection to her. She is merely fulfilling his desire to bed another woman or fulfil some physical need he's not getting at home.

Once again, that doesn't make it right or okay.

Whereas most women aren't able to separate the two (wouldn't sleep with a man for whom no emotional connection existed) man men are able to do so with ease. It's a sad but true facet of manhood. I actually know some women who have said they were able to do so as well. I can't say that I believed them but they brought it to me on their own after admittedly cheating on their boyfriends.

At the end of the day, your guy wants to be with you for the long-haul probably and has the wherewithall to realize that throwing that away by breaking up is a bad idea. Of course, he's also cheating on you which if brought to light would result in the same conclusion, so its generally a bad idea to cheat on your significant other for any reason.

He just won't realize how much of a mistake he might be making until its too late for him to fix it.

I've never really seen it from that perspective before. I am not saying the cheating is right, but at least it gives you an idea of the reasons behind it, maybe even begin to understand it.

i have been with my man for 5 yrs now. In the first few years he cheated on me. they were either hookers or skanks he picked up at a bar when i wasnt with him. He told me every time.I totally appreciated his honesty. DIDNT LIKE IT...but appreciated the honesty. NOW that said. Your probably asking why i didnt break up with him. Well because I knew he loved me and was still seeing if the other side was greener. NOT right. But guys have funny ways of seeing things. He tells me all the time and even after with these woman. That i was better than any of them. The connection etc. For the past 2 yrs he only has been with one hooker. by the way he just gets bj's from them. NOT That it makes it right. But in his eye's its "safer". What I am trying to say, is Girls BFF is right on the nose with this one. I saw it for what it was and I knew these chicks were just one night stands and had nothing to offer him. and he KNEW it. Guys do know and guys DO have sex just for sex alone. But in the end they want someone who will love them and always be there for them. I suppose me being a Call girl in my early twenties helped me see this in him. Cause thats why guys came to me than. Quick easy sex. That was 20 yrs ago for me. But the lessons i learned from those men helped me with my relationships today. Be patient...but by NO means codone it. TELL him he's stupid to wreck such a great wonderful understanding woman like yourself =)

So true, I been with my bf for over two years, I live in his house with his mother that needs care and I found out he had cheated on me twice and then just recently he went to confession for possible this reason or other, he mention of cheating indirectly, but neither of us have said direct of the fact. I know, and I deal with it all the time, quietly to myself and except anything he wants to do. That might make me weak, but, its my way to keep our relationship happy. I have told him, I feel he cheated, but of course he denied it. As it is, I will never be common-law with him or marry. I will keep my savings and plans as if I were not in a relationship. Because that day will come when, either I leave or we part in some way. Its sad, but, I look at it, that's life. At least with this guy.

I found out that my boyfriend (48) of 4 months has been cheating on my since the beginning. I have practically moved in to his house and we were going full speed ahead. I always had activities planned for our off hours and kept our social calender full. After 3 weeks of being together all the time I asked him if he was my boyfriend and he said yes.
Then I find out he never stopped seeing his 'former' lover of year or so. She always knew about me but I was unaware of her. I confronted him with my suspicions and he confessed. Said he was sorry and that he wanted to keep seeing me. He agreed to give me his passwords to email and Facebook accounts and to check his phone whenever I want. However he has a business phone that I don't have much access to. I think they obviously had a different level or type of relationship than we do since she has always know about me and continued to see him.
He said he told me everything but I'm not sure he did. I wrote the lover an email from his account and signed his name to see if she would give up anymore information. I don't think she bought it. I'm not sure if she told my boyfriend or not.
So who does he love or care for the most in this case, me or her? I don't know if I can trust him or not.

It may be true to some extent or in some cases. However, I've known men who cheated on their wives/gf, and came back. There was obviously, no love - other reasons, conveniency, stability, etc. When these same men fall in love hard - they DO NOT CHEAT. They dont want to think or touch any woman except one they are in love in - that's when they give up their wifes, girlfriends. When a man truly loves - he does not cheat. From experience and observation - I firmly hold to this belief.

If they really love their wife or girlfriend why don't they realize that cheating will hurt their significant other? My ex used to cry to me saying he didn't want me to leave. I found out he was cheating or cheated on me. Then he'd tell me how it hurts him to see me stressed and sad because of what he did. Can someone tell me where I can find a guy that doesn't cheat? I keep reading the most men don't cheat, but how come all the guys i've dated are scum and can't keep it in their pants and lie through their teeth when they come home and say they love me? In the end all i get is hurt. I trusted him and put so much effort into making a life for "us" and he just never cared, but he made me believe he did. I hate dating and i hate cheaters and people who sleep with someone even though they know they are in a relationship

I've been dating this guy for almost 2 years. A llittle after our one year I found he cheated on me with two girls. When I confronted him about it he lied and tried turning everything around on me until i talked to the two girls and they gave me the proof they were both just one night stands and lived very local to me and both knew me and him were together. When him and I talked everything through he said he was sorry and that it he would never do it again and when I asked him why he did it he told me he didnt know and that it wasnt my fault that maybe theres just something wrong with him. This boy sits here and look in my eyes everytime and tells me he loves me and always talks about our future and marriage and kids. I just wanna know is he gunna continue to keep doing this or is this a phase and hes gunna stop I do so much for him bought him 2 dogs that he wanted and always spend time with him and play video games together,and never cheat on him but I know im his longest relationship so if hes kept me around for this long that does he really love me?

I hope this isn't going for ALL men. It is never wise to say wise. Not even most. Maybe MOST men you know. But have you travelled the whole world to really even say most?

user-pic

Sweetheart, my fiance broke up with me 10 weeks before the wedding. I loved him and had been faithful to him, however he evidently was not faithful to me. Be glad that you found this out now instead of after you were already married. Shake the dust from your feet and count yourself blessed. It is going to hurt like a big dog for about a year, but then you will begin to see that life is much better without that dead weight tying you down and stealing your joy. You are too precious of a person to be treated like trash.

I have just found out my boyfriend has cheated on me in July 2012 after being to together nearly 4 years, he has kept it a secret till now, I found messages from another girl and confronted him, he said it was a bit off banter. Then he admitted he cheated when he was working away, he was apparently drunk but sounds to me he had all intent to cheat. He says he's never done anything since and he felt guilty,sick and didn't want to come home. He says he loves me and he will never do it again. We've sat and spoke and decide I will give things another go, but I feel like such a mug!! I dont want him thinking that because i am willing to give things ago that he can just go out and do it again and i will just take him back, ive said this to him and he said he respects me more for being willing to try, He is the person I want to be with but how can I trust him again???

I admit i was skeptical about magic spells, for me it was just a movie thing though I was ready to try anything to get my husband back, which I did with this spell Esango priest 've cast for me.I think I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't this spell caster. The other casters I contacted seemed to care only for money and nothing else, but I've appreciated the fact that Esango priest seemed much caring about my problem than all of them. magic water I was hurt and depressed when my lover of five years left me for another woman. One friend suggested the idea to contact a spell caster, which I would have never thought of myself. I contacted a few of them but Esango priest was the person I felt good with. he was understanding, replied all my emails promptly and patiently. Then I decided to place an order for his spell even if at that time I was still a bit skeptical about his capacity to bring my man back with me. Only 1 week after the spell was actually cast, he returned to me and since then, it seems that there is no more mistrust and no more lies between us. For that reason, I am gladly leaving a testimonial on this page, which I believe will help persons to choose Esango priest for their case his email is esangopriest@gmail.com

It really hurts of being cheated by your boyfriend but as time goes by, you will realize that it happened for a purpose. It is better to know earlier that your boyfriend is a cheater and you could find a deserving and better man for you. Don't be upset. Always think positive.

i am Agatha justus i never believe in spell untill it help me get my ex back to me happily
please take time to ready my testimonies and problem solve just like a dream by Prophet Galadima
After being in relationship with him for seven years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by reffering him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email is kalakutaspells@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

My boyfriend of 3 yrs. decided to start cheating on me while he was in jail. I was the one sending him money, counseling and praying for him in hard times and keeping him okay through a hard time in his life. He gets out and instead of being appreciative to me he starts hanging out and sleeping with his next door neighbor(that he introduced to me months ago!) His long time neigborhood friend was the one to tell me about the relationship, even though he was still in a relationship with me. Still talking about marriage and kids with me but spending time with another female(and she had a boyfriend also). How stupid I felt when I catch her lying in his bed at 4 a.m. He was so shocked and put his hands on me, bruising and scrapping me up while she laid in the bed. After the bust and fighting, I realized that everyone knew about the girl except me. 7 months later he is still trying to be intimate with me but I don't think so. Us women have to be role models for our children and not let an insecure man poop on us, because he wants to or because YOU let him. Yes, I get lonely, but I have to show my daughter and son what a real man is. A REAL MAN has control over his hands and penis. I rather be single than in a relationship where the man is stressing me out, not caring about what the kids see him do and acting like a child himself. Have RESPECT for yourselves and your body is what I tell myself. God has someone 10xs better for me. I feep the faith. At least I'm not stressed anymore and I have grown so much after going through this. Makes me a better girlfriend for my next boyfriend.

me n ma guy were in relation from past 5 yrs. every thing was all rite between us. he had introduced me as his gal frnd to his coll frnds n all. he had even told his big brother about our relation. every thing was alrite. the day he suicide'd, he told me that i was the only gal in his life and told me not to listen to others wat they tell.the same day he hanged himself. in his death note he had mentioned about another gal. he had wrote that he was in relation with a gal from past 1 year and he was serious with her. but that gal was seeing other guy. he went and spoke to that gals parents and told he wanted to marry her. she refused and my guy got angry and committed suicide. at the same time he was tellin his friends and all that he ll marry me. he took to his place and introduced me to his parents at also.i'm in confusion who was he really loving?????? wat did i do. was i nothing in his life. if he really wanted to marry that another gal then why was he in relation with me. he knew that i was serious.

one more funny thing : he was tellin me about everything...only difference was he use to take out his name and put one of his friend's name.. wat was he really up to?????

one last question how can some one tell lie to that extend????

"I used priestandrew91@yahoo.com spell with the man I was dating. One week ago he said he would never ever date me again and that he would never give me another chance. I used priestandrew91@yahoo.com spell and last night, to my surprise, he called and we are dating again.it is good to have him back in my life."priestandrew91@yahoo.com spell is the best thing I've used.He has helped me so much. I didn't expect the result i got from using his spell so fast as it turned out to be. I've contacted other spell casters that just don't compare. Of course, it's different for everyone, but he made total sense to me with the way he turned my situation around for good.

I am a woman 24yrs and my ex fiancee who invested so much in us cheated on me. He manipulated me emotionally to stay faithful to him while I knew it was weird. It happened only twice but it broke my heart and trust for him. Indeed he has a way lower sex drive than I do but he still cheated. So I changed, took him back, put the mask on and started cheating on him with every good chance I get. like that for 2 yrs already and it goes on. He even knows it now. But he doesn't cheat anymore (I got into his fb so i track him), he is way more domestic since then and is trying hard to keep me interested. He changed on good. I unfortunately learned a bad lesson and don't trust any man since then. I remained being with him in a relationship bcos he still gives the most emotional support but in the meanwhile I am keeping my eyes open for a better chance and take my chances whenever they appear.Just for some sex and ego-boost. I recently met someone i immediately fell in love with...we kept texting, i was suspecting he is married because he is in late 30s. He was saying he cant wait to see (we don't live in the same cities) me but in the end pulled back. I reminded him we were suppose to meet but he excused himself of being busy.And before that he was very much into. Got to find out later he lives with some woman (maybe a wife?). So as a bottom line, some men cheat and some do not. Those who cheat the most are exactly those whose girlfriends/ wifes think they are enough (like i believed) and rely on their men for emotional support.I they think that have it served they go get more. Sad but true. Kick them with modern feminism and dont give them anything they don't give to you.

MY TESTIMONY

i am Mary from the united state, I want to say this explicitly for its of a surprise that regardless of the internet fraud, i could still meet some one this genuine, am not here to talk on relationship, so don’t be in the offing to hear that, but its something supplementary, for i seeked for a endorsement in my office for the past one year, but my boss asked me to lay with him, or no promotion, when i met dr dumedu he cast a spell for me and ask me to go to work and see what will happen, i went to work and saw my letter of endorsement waiting for me on my desk, just like that, i was so amazed, but i owe him the thanks….go to him for he will be of assistance, and please try to give him the chance he needs, for a chance might change your whole life…dumeduspelltemple@gmail.com

What should I do. I am In relation for last two years and I loved my wife . But last year I was at my Xmas staff party. I was pissed drunk and without any bad intention I kissed two girls. We just had bad time in relation and someone came and told her about that . I apologies for that mistake more than 20times . I still love her and don't want to loose but she don't want to be with me anymore, just because of the fact I kissed two girls. ?

Do you find it strange that you are constantly wondering, “How can I get my boyfriend back?” Well do not worry; this is a perfectly normal question to ponder in your mind. Even if you have been broken up for a good length of time, purityspell@gmail.com can still bring a restoration to that relationship and i can assure you of that because of the way he handled my situation and make my long lost love come back and now the restoration has turn into marriage. i am happy i came across this spell caster and i will forever be gratefull to him..Thanks ...Natalia
