Why Happily Married Men Still Chᴇat

Reasons Why Happily Married Men Chᴇat

1. Lack of needs being met
When a person’s needs in a relationship aren’t being fully met, the problems start to arise. They could be overall happy with their partner but still feel a sense of dissatisfaction. They are unable to fully resolve this and have their needs met in a healthy manner, so they decide to look for it in someone else.
2. The allure of doing what they shouldn’t

Sometimes, it’s simply because they know they shouldn’t that tempts them to do exactly the opposite. It’s the allure of the ‘forbidden fruit.’

It may be about the thrill and the desire of getting what we’re not supposed to have.

3. Wanting to feel less dependent and vulnerable

Emotions do play a part in a man’s infidᴇlity. This is also related to the insecurities your husband might have. For the most part, men find it hard to truly express their emotions and be vulnerable, even to themselves.

It’s why marriage becomes scary because it’s all about being vulnerable and dependent on one person. To feel less vulnerable, he’ll often resort to having an ᴀffair as a way of spreading out the intimate details of himself and not feeling completely emotionally dependent on one person.

4. Men think they can get away with it

So many men chᴇat because they think they can get away with it. They justify it by telling themselves that they’re a good guy, a good husband, and a good father so the chᴇating shouldn’t be a big deal.

They fail to understand that their wives don’t really see it that way and thus fail to realize the devastation their infidlitᴇy brings.

5. Immaturity

When someone lacks experience and lacks the maturity needed to work through the core aspects of a relationship, it can often lead to them thinking there is room for fluidity in their faithfulness and loyalty to their wives.

They’ll then come up with a lot of justifications for their actions that are often masked in denial. They lack the emotional maturity to realize that their actions have consequences.

6. Novelty of the experience

That’s the thrill of going behind a wife’s back.

Being in an established relationship means the comfort of reliability and routine, and some men are happy with that. But then, eventually, they’ll crave the excitement that being in an affair brings.
