There is no doubt about it, cheating spouses are on the increase. Chances are that unknown to you, your spouse whom you would never suspect, falls into this category and you don’t even know it.

But why do spouses cheat? What drives them into one of the worst acts of betrayal any human can envisage for their mate?

Modern living has a lot to do with it. The truth is that life is so hectic that we soon choose to ignore the basics in our relationships. Women were created to be loved, fussed over and given plenty of attention. When a husband forgets this, they open the door to possible betrayal. Actually, because of the pressures of modern day living, men instead tend to be extremely selfish sexually and will focus only on their egotistic needs in bed. Visit discussion forums that discuss marriage and relationships and you will see plenty of complaints from husbands who say their wives won’t do what they ask for sexually. The requests range from the usual to the bizarre.

This should immediately tell you that there is something very wrong somewhere. The most powerful turn on known to man is to please your woman so much that she goes out of control, screaming and scratching and basically submissive to your every action and command. It is really very simple, when she’s pleased, you’ll be pleased too. It was never meant to work the other way round.

What makes matters worse is the fact that as women grow older, they tend to orgasm much more easily. Just imagine what would happen to a cheating spouse whose husband does not have the time nor interest and she goes out there and somebody in the office or some other guy brings her to that happy situation every time?

The husband on the other hand fails to get what he fantasizes about in his marriage bed and therefore opts to look elsewhere.

Is it any wonder that the number of cheating spouses is a figure that is constantly heading north?

Here is an article that explains relationships and common reasons why spouses cheat that I found eye opening.
