Why Affairs Happen

Many people have argued about whether or not an affair could be stopped – or whether things could be done to prevent infidelity in a spouse. Of course, if you knew you could actively work on your marriage or relationship to keep your spouse or partner from cheating – you would do it, right? Taking into account why most affairs happen can give some insight into whether or not you can do something. Here is some more information on why affairs happen and what you might be able to do about it.

Men and Affairs –

Studies show that men typically cheat on their spouses because they are unsatisfied sexually. Whether they feel as if their partners aren't giving them enough attention in the bedroom or if they refuse to experiment or something different – it usually comes down to a sexual issue with men. In addition, the affairs usually don't last long and are only about fantasy.

A woman with no strings attached who will openly participate in exciting sex is what a man is looking for when he cheats most of the time. So, when men figure out that their paramour is a real woman with real needs – the affair usually ends. Most men wouldn't leave their wives either. An affair is a feeble attempt to find happiness in the bedroom that they may not have with their wives.

Knowing this, it seems that there is something women can do to make a difference in whether their men cheat or not. Finding time to be alone and intimate with your husband – and even having fun with the intimacy can make a difference. Role-play, be open to new (but safe) suggestions for experimenting in the bedroom or do something else you know your husband or boyfriend finds irresistible. Invest in some great bedroom outfits and make his day – and do it often. When men are satisfied sexually with their wives, they will have no need to find satisfaction elsewhere.

Women and Affairs –

On the other side of the coin are women and the reasons they cheat. The truth is that they usually cheat for a completely different reason – because they are not emotionally satisfied by their husbands or boyfriends. They are feeling disconnected or neglected when it comes to emotions and passion so they look for the connection elsewhere. When they are approached by a man who seems to listen and be caring about their emotional needs, a woman sometimes can't resist.

The problem lies in the fact that men who cheat with married women aren't looking for anything deeper than sex most of the time. This becomes obvious soon and usually, this is where the affair ends. Knowing this – a man can make an attempt to keep his wife or girlfriend happy emotionally to beat affairs or infidelity. Listen to her and share your thoughts, dreams and feelings while you really consider hers. Assure her often that she is loved and do things to show her that. Whether it's holding her hand in public or bringing her flowers now and then – sometimes the smallest things can make a world of difference.

Knowing the reasons affairs happen can help you strengthen your relationship or marriage so that there is less of a chance of it happening to you. Use the above tips and advice so you can keep your relationship strong and thriving!

Don’t even go there

My husband told me that he wishes I was having an affair, because it would better justify why I am divorcing him. It’s not the first time he’s said it. Once in desperation he even said I should go have an affair, and as long as I stay married to him...
