And in these relationships its the women who are far more inclined to cheat than men.I wouldn't have believed it to be true but after further observation it really does seem like it. Even if the relationship is strong or stable women seem to lose their sensibilities and become vulnerable so easily whenever they are for just a moment emotionally wantin, or gets 'distracted' by a better prospect.I'm quite distressed thinking how easily that this can happen.

If you have no sense of right or wrong, or you just don't care you are a potential cheat.

well i'm sorry but i think men are alot worse then women!
for instance one of my ex's told me he was "falling for me" then in the next breath he told me he was planning to date another girl and would i be ok with that? HELL NO was my answer. i pretty much found out that he had already been seeing her. so i believe that most men can not be commited or they are scared.

I have stuck with him through his difficulty of keeping a job because I loved him,,,
Now tell me why did he go on the net and find someone, and had a affair? Tell me what was wrong with my marriage?

What research have you done on this? I would be interested to know. Is it just reading Dear Cupid problems?
Because bear in mind that women tend to have a much wider support network and will get advice from friends and family... where as men will not go and cry on their mate's shoulders and will come to anonymous strangers on the internet instead.
This is not an accurate picture of life.
For example we get very few problems here saying "I have a wonderful marriage, we are very much in love and have a healthy sex life after 20 years together. I wonder should I be worried that I am too happy?"
Good Luck!! xx

My two cents. I agree with the previous posts. I think that it's a bad thing that you can get cheated on if you're in a relationship. That's sad, but that's life. You need to take your chances. You might end up cheating, too.

Granted, more men than women when 'surveyed' will admit to it, but if the men have cheated surely there must be a roughly equal amount of women that they've cheated with? Either that or there's just a few women putting it about all over the place.
One thing is for sure though - it's a lot easier for a woman to cheat if she wanted to because there are so many more men than women who would willingly go for a quick bonk without any thought or attachment, round the back of the pub or wherever, whereas women generally have to feel some loving emotional attachment before having sex.
If you look at dating websites there are very few women just out for sex, whereas many of the men are - initially anyway.
