Rather than changing partners, something inside of the cheater needs to change, otherwise he brings HIS same issues into the next realtionship. Most people call it baggage. When some one cheats on some one else, it is about the cheater, not the 3rd party or the spouse. Most likely the cheater has issues, whether it is a personality disorder, addiction, or he is just a player. It is not always a reflection of the relationship itself, but the morals, or lack thereof in the cheater. Unless they work on their issues they continue to cheat no matter what relationship he is.
I agree that a cheater can change, but he has to want to change...it has to come from within, not between the legs of his next conquest. He needs to do the deep down soul searching and slay his demons before that can happen. Until then he is in no condition to be in any reciprocal relationship/
The experts all agree, that while some cheaters are not getting their needs met, the majority of cheaters have overly benefited in the relationship. Meaning, they didn't need to work at it, it was too easy becausee the spouse did all the relationship work. It needs to be as close to 50/50 as possible if a relationship is to work. But many men feel if they bring home the bacon that is all that is required of them and many women accept that's the way it is. These guys then get a sense of entitlement and feel they have the right to cheat. Most of those don't leave their wives for the 3rd party...they are cake eaters! They want it all no matter who it hurts...it's all about them...that's what they've been taught. These are the guys that don't change until they do lose everything. But chances are their wives ahve put a lot of energy and effort into the marriage and don't walk away. So, nothing really changes!
Basically, there are all different types of affairs and it depends on the type of affair whether or not it has anything to do with the relationship itself or and inherit flaw in the cheater. It isn't as cut and dry as described in this blog. It is far more complicated and tragic, especially when cheating destroys families.
