Good article, I agree that these so called triggers can indeed lead to infedelity.

This is a ridiculously skewed article. It seems to imply that married men cheat and that married women don't. Anyone who thinks that married women don't cheat are grossly ill-informed.

I loved this info. My husband cheated on me once with a phone sex line. Claiming that I was treating him like his mother so that is why he did it. He would lie to my face while is did it as well. I had no idea he was doing this until I saw a bill in the mail. Of course he lied about it saying he didn't do it. In the end he has talied up to more that a $1000 dollars worth of calls. I still don't understand it, why he just won't come to me for sex. I'm more than willing! He was also getting porn magazines and buying porn toys for his own enjoyment instead of being with his wife. To this day I still don't trust him. I probably never will again!! Why I still stay with him, I don't know, I still care about him and I dont' know how to live on my own with our son and make it in the world. To this day he makes exuses to have sex with me. I just don't understand it.

Men have a choice. Either be faithful and stay that way, or choose adultery. They most certainly have a choice. If they are choosing not to be connected to the kids, wife, and family, then they choose to place the blame on the wife, kids,family and all the millions of provocative social temptations of unholywood, (media is satan's playground), the bars( and by the way, what is a married guy doing in a bar? What kind of example is he setting for his kids?) the clothing industry, not to mention all the millions of commercials for men who can no longer get it on. Our society is promoting a boat ride on sexual addiction and men are at the helm.

You make it sound like all men are going to cheat.It's just a matter of when and where,or with who.Granted if you are not happy with the situation at home,(and going by the divorce rate a lot of people are not,)you may be more tempted.But over all I don't think most guys want to.Most of the couples I know it has been the woman cheating.Something about turning 40 and the romance going out of the relationship,making more woman cheat nowadays.

Then why do women cheat?

Nothing particularly insightful here. How about "a man might cheat because he doesn't feel monogamous" or "a man might cheat because he's jealous of children, and men in modern society frequently act like large children themselves." Seriously: I'm tired of hearing the one about men being jealous of children, frequently not accompanied by any suggestions for addressing the problem. How about if men were expected to spend just as much time with children, thus making it so that when kids go to bed, BOTH parents have enough energy left to pay attention to each other?

In my way of seeing things it is a human nature thing that leads to cheating. not that it is an excuse but when you are in a situation where you feel that something is missing from what you already have , it is alot easier to look outside of curent relationships It is always easier to start over than it is to fix the problems and face the flaws that we know we have , vs , ignoring the flaws and making a new start . Now I amnot saying that cheating always the person who is cheatings fault , but it is human nature to hide from the truth about your self than to look at the problem and try to fix it that in some cases the problems may be a more more telling than others .

Women are also attracted to men and make often make serious efforts to get them. Why do social writers always put the onus on the male and fail to talk about womens part in the equation.

Some men, and women for that matter, are like empty vessels with a leak in the bottom. Nothing can fulfill their needs--no amount or variety of sex or emotional support is enough. IMHO men like Bill Clinton and Eliot Spitzer cannot and will never have enough women and power and adulation. This is rooted in their childhood and is pretty much not fixable. So women do well to keep their distance unless they are willing to trade fidelity of their spouse for a marriage/relationship based on power and/or money.
