Have you ever wondered what is the real reason that men cheat? Maybe you are wondering why Tiger Woods cheated? Or maybe you are a woman reading this and interested to know why men cheat in general, or maybe you're a guy curious about what I have to say. Whatever the reason, I'm sure by now you have probably come across some good and some not so good theories of why men cheat. I have certainly heard and read a lot about this, and unfortunately, have come across many shallow theories. In this article, I am going to try and dig a little deeper.
I am sure you have heard things like men cheat because they were not satisfied sexually, there was something wrong in the couple's relationship, he was drunk at a party and the opportunity just presented …show more content…
Sometimes ignorance can be blissful and many people simply want to remain that way. But when you do not fully understand the consequences of your actions it is impossible for you to make smart decisions about your life. This is what I mean by doing things out of ignorance, and this type of ignorance certainly enables you to do stupid things. Ignorance is not a justification, but it is an explanation. After all, we all make mistakes and have occasionally done things out of ignorance.
But the more you understand the consequences of your actions, the more educated decisions you will make. Even if you choose to do things out of ignorance, at least you are aware of your actions and your choices.

While it may be true that no one will find out, what you may not realize is that even if no one knows about your cheating, there are still many negative consequences that can enter your life and …show more content…
This is the same precious thought energy that you could have been using to make your life or relationship with your partner better instead. This is why living with a lie always leaves you emotionally drained. And as I said, every time you think about the cheating incident, your partner will feel less connected to you, sometimes without even knowing why.
But now, you are less connected to each other. On a conscious or unconscious level she is less "there" for you. Intuitively, she won't trust you or allow herself to relax and open up around you as much. If she suspects that you are cheating or just suspects that something does not feel right, part of her will start to shut down sexually and in all other ways. Her intuition tells her to guard herself, sometimes without even knowing why. All of this may simply happen without conscious reasoning. Whichever way this plays out, all of it can have a tremendous effect on your relationships and love
