8 Reasons Why Men Betray Their Wives

http://hualeinc.com/news/html/20150119/en/index.html

Let me start by saying this- at no point does why your man cheat on you justify the fact that he cheats on you; these actions are his alone to take responsibility for. Yet it is just as important to understand what could be driving him to seek a way out of your relationship or another woman’s company. A healthy relationship is built on a foundation that weathers change and challenge time after time. Instead of playing victim or looking the other way therefore, maybe you should consider diving into the problem at hand. Here are 8 common reasons for men considering or choosing to betray their wives. 1. Inability to Express A healthy and happy relationship thrives when it offers ample opportunity for both parties to come together, share and express their deepest sentiments to each other. Men, contrary to popular belief, appreciate clear communication and free self-expression just like their partners do. If your man feels unable to express himself- his highs and his lows- to you, whether owing to personal differences or because the demands of your lifestyle take up all your space and time, chances are he will drift away. 2. Feeling Emasculated In many ways emotions run much deeper in men and are a lot more complex for them to express. Add to that the mountain of expectations men are burdened with and individuality becomes a whole different ballgame. Finding a balance between sensitivity, strength and power is a lot more taxing for our men, especially given there are so many and such narrow preconceptions of what it means to be a man. When it all gets too much, men often just seek an escape- an alternate reality that they can feel more themselves in, and sometimes this may mean another whole relationship. 3. Far too much Predictability


Predictability is a tricky one- not everyone responds to it the same; for some it brings the comfort of security while for some it makes life bland and mundane. If your man lives for the rush and excitement of the moment, or the next, predictability is bound to confuse and drive him away. He may not want to criticize or complain to you, but a rigid routine is probably leaving him uninspired, bored and stifled. 4. An Absence of Love Think back to the time you first met your man; do you both still feel for and love each other just as much? Sure, life has its ways of testing and revealing deeper truths, but this is no reason for your relationship to lose its flavor. If anything time can translate even a simple crush into a full bodied, mature loving relationship. And make no mistake- your man needs just as much love as you do. 5. Feeling Distant We all grow and evolve with every passing year; sometimes these changes bring us closer together as a couple and sometimes it blows the cracks wide open. While you may not be able to control time and its challenges per se, you can always make an effort to adapt to these. If your partner feels distant in a relationship he once closely identified with, chances are he will seek that acknowledgment and intimacy elsewhere. 6. Stress and Change Men may not like to admit it, but very often they are silently cracking under all the pressure, stress and demands that life places on them. It could be attributed to personality types, but when it gets tough, men sometimes need a little play. No having a fling is not the smartest solution to this, but betrayal is rarely an intelligent choice! 7. Misplaced Ideals Thanks to media, mass opinions and social mis-constructs, womanizing is depicted in a positive lighton screen and off it. For many men having a mistress or a casual fling is not an act of betrayal, but personal expression; yet others like to tread the fine line between harmless flirting and dangerous liaisons. The problem at its core is the perspective and ideas our men grow up with, and the need to view women not as an asset or arm candy but as equal individuals. 8. Time Out Women may have a bad reputation for nagging, but very often it helps get things off our chest. Men on the other hand are not always as lucky, and end up dissatisfied with the way their life is turning out. This can lead to drastic actions in their attempt to reclaim the glory and appreciation they deeply yearn for, and the state of their personal affairs is often at the heart of these changes. It isn’t that their world is less than perfect; it is simply that they are not happy and need time out, often leading them to betray all that they have worked so hard to build.
