Why do happy husbands cheat?

For years now, men infidelity has been related to unhappy marriages, with husbands using the pitiful reason of being unsatisfied and unhappy as an escape route for their intolerable acts.
But its time to end that myth now! The fact is, no marriage, happy or miserable, is immune to infidelity and cheating partners today! Yes, even happy marriages are bound to suffer due to cheating husbands. It could strike any couple any time, be it a newly wed or one celebrating their 25th Anniversary.

Surely there are reasons of infidelity in happy marriages which are different from the infidelity in unhappy marriages. With a wife so loving and caring and the husband happy, everyone wonders what must’ve made that happy husband cheat on his wife.

One of the reasons to an act of infidelity by happy husbands can be a low self-restraint. A regrettable moment which led to one after another act of cheating can be one of the many reasons why happy husbands get involved in an unexplainable affair. And if this affair went on for a while, the reason could again be their lack of control to put an end or hold to that affair.

Another major reason why husbands with loving wives at home land up in an affair with an outsider could be their low self esteem. Such people neither wish nor know what they actually want in life and what are they looking for in their partners. By trying to impress as many women as they can, at their work place or outside, they get to uplift their self esteem along with their feelings of self worth. Also with the ever increasing competition in the dating circle, they feel that urge to try harder and aim even harder each time to get as many popular women as they can.
Such a behavior does not, by any chance, gets altered or changed by their quality of life back home, be it a loving wife or sweet kids. It stays, forever, as such low esteemed men need that boost every now and then.

Men seeking a little adventure and thrill to steal a few moments from their picture perfect lives are also amongst those who commit the acts of infidelity in their marriages. Such husbands when caught would generally end up saying things like “It didn’t mean anything” or “It just happened” or “It was just a one time thing”. Yes, we all feel these are the lamest excuses they would come up with, but sometimes, just sometimes; these excuses might actually be true. Such thrill seekers sometimes need to get in and out of risky situations to get that fun element back into their lives.

Wives neglecting themselves and their looks can sometimes also trigger this infidelity excuse with their husbands. While a husband truly loves his wife, he would nevertheless want to see her dressing up for him every now and then.
He would surely want to be felt special with their wives dressing up for them. In so many cases it has been seen that husbands love their wives but no longer find then sexually attractive. This generally leads them to other attractive women at his work place or maybe at the coffee place he visits frequently.
Yes, happy husbands cheat too. This is one of the best hidden secrets, mostly referred to as a myth by all. It is not necessary that cheating husbands and extramarital affairs happen in unhappy families only. They happen everywhere. This is why happiness in marriage is no longer the determining factor of whether or not a husband will stay faithful to his wife.
