Is Any Kind of Cheating Tolerable?
Just read an article where there was a study about what type of cheating was worst.
The article stated: “But men and women differ on what part of cheating they think is the worst: Men tend to be more bothered by sexual infidelity, while most women are bothered more by emotional infidelity.”
Uh – I may be in the minority here, but I wouldn’t want my guy to be cheating on me emotionally or physically. I would consider both to be a major breach in trust.
Another article stated: “Like years past, this one has been a whopper for high-profile philanderers. Psychologists aren’t surprised, as guys are wired to want sex, a lot, and are more likely than gals to cheat. The behavior may be particularly likely for men with power, researchers say, though they point out that despite the genetic propensity to sleep around, cheating remains a choice, not a DNA-bound destiny.”
Cheating remains a choice. Now, that I can agree with. For all of my adult life, I’ve heard the excuses for guys cheating. ‘My wife/girlfriend/significant other didn’t give me enough sex/attention/love, whatever.’ ‘Guys will be guys.’ ‘Guys cheat, deal with it – live with it – ignore it.’
Bull. If a guy wants to play around emotionally or physically, fine – go do it. Just don’t get married or engaged or attached in any way to a woman, you dumb fool. And don’t bring kids into the mix.
No one’s holding a gun to a guy’s head and saying, ‘you have to marry or live with this person’. That went out a looooong time ago. No one is forcing you to the altar. If you’re incapable of committing for a lifetime to one person, then don’t. Be a man, be an adult and play the field all you want without dragging a woman and children into your infidelity. And if you have a marriage with problems, then be a man and try to fix them. If you’ve done everything you can and it’s still not working, then move out and get a divorce. Don’t humiliate your partner. Don’t lie to her. Don’t cheat on her. In other words, do the right thing.
Enough of the excuses.
Time to grow up.
