Why do men cheat? This page is from a woman’s perspective so to many it might not count, but to some it may. In my opinion and from what I’ve been told by men is that often wives, after they are married and have children, don’t keep themselves like they did when they were dating their husbands. Please understand I am not giving men a license to cheat or saying it is our fault that they do, I am saying quite the opposite. This is just a list to check yourselves by and to give some thought to.
