No men dont have to cheat. and if not 100% at least 98 :)

After a certain number of years: My guess is that 90% per cent of married men have affairs or go to whores. And that the other 10% are afraid to do so. The percentage for married women is lower, but not by much.

he's from a different kind of culture..i don't think any modern normal decent man would think that way

nobody has to cheat. It is a choice that they make with full knowledge of the harm they are inflicting on thier spouse and family. They do what they WANT for thier own pleasure, no regard for anyone but themselves.

in my opinion life would be very boring stuck with one man. No matter how good the marriage, no matter how good the man, it's impossible to stick to one person--for men or women. I'm with Desi. As far as Spitzer is concerned, he is joining a long list of many normal men who got caught. He's a very smart man in most other areas, it's too bad that he got caught--he could have been of great assistance in the banking and housing debacle. JFK, LBJ, DDE, FDR, Spitzer, Gov Patterson of NY, Clinton, Mark Sanford of SC, Sen. John Ensign ... addto this all the names that you know. It's natural, normal, and it isn't bad.

i dont think that there has to be 100% honest when you are dating or single. but if and when you decide to share your life with that special someone then it has to be 100% or it will fail. i support EVERYTHING my wife does. i also dont hide or keep secrets from her. she decided to take a journy of life together with me so, why would i be embarassed, untruthful, secretive, manipulative, unsupportive, or less than a man to her? it makes no sense. if my wife asks me does this dress make my ass look big? do i say yes? no way. but i tell the truth. i say that she is as beautiful today as she was when i meet her. if you feel the need to cheat or look for something outside your relationship then you are the one being dishonest with yourself. you are not man enough to walk up to your wife and say what is bothering you or you are looking for something more in your relationship. there is nothing some other woman can do that your wife is not capable of. what are you scared might happen? you might actually talk and understand each other more. i think that you will find that men and women are not so diffrent. you dont think she getts the same feelings and thoughts you do. its how you deal with these changes together that matter. lets say that i were going to cheat on my wife for whatever reason, (which would never actually happen, i am a lucky man.) i would have the balls to tell her long before i even looked what was out there. why you ask. cause cheating is really about finding something YOU FEEL IS MISSING, even though most of the time you are not really missing anything. this would spark a long and probablly heated talk that would get to the root of the problem. you know there is a little word for 100% honest in a relationship. it is TRUST. if you give that up you already lost.

Men don't "have" tocheat, but the driving force of sexual urges is powerful in many men,and they do "cheat" or have second relationships. It is almost always best to stay, to keep the family together, and to consider that the Tyranny of Sex is stronger in many men than it is in you. Not that it holds sway only over men. And so, a little less self-righteousness is called for and, perhaps, a little compassion too. - Children are far more important than the puritanical rationalizations that so many (usually) women use to destroy their own families. - Keep families together.
