Infidelity Support Group
Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...
My H cheated in his first marriage and has now done it to me. I think in his case he is the type that will do it if he thinks he can get away with it. Has nothing to do with me or our relationship, he is a sex addict. I love sex alot myself but not enough to tear my family apart.
The sad part is, cheating that very first time can be heart-wrenching. But then, it gets easier. And easier. Then it can become a way of life.
I also think men & women cheat for different reasons. I think that women will cheat more often because their emotional needs are not being met. I think men cheat cuz they're dogs. It's more of a physical thing for them. Not saying this is the case all of the time, just what I have observed.
Everybody else that I know that has cheated has done it before and will more than likely do it again.
I, for one, would never stay in a relationship with a cheater - regardless of how much I may love that other person. I just don't see how the trust is ever restored, and trust for me is the foundation.
As far as your needs not being met, I can relate; however, if you're not communicating those needs and attempting to work on the issues, then you're simply caving to the temptation to cheat - instead of attempting to confront and fix the problem. That makes you vulnerable to do it again IMO.
Now - I was expected to buy that. And I was expected to hold anger towards the other women.
To this day, I would bet any amount of money, he's sitting in his empty living room, no cable, hardly any food in the house, sitting in the dark..and he will still swear up and down he had no choice in the matter.
I know very different - that's why he's out of my life.
