Men Open Up About All The Reasons Why They Decided To Actually Cheat

“The general excuse I used to make myself feel better about the bad actions was that we weren’t compatible anyway.”

“But that had nothing to do with the damage I caused to the heart. I am a little more remorseful and try to be considerate these days, but I fully expect karma to come to throw the egg on my face someday.”

They Sought Validation From Other Women

“Because I was trying to find value and my self-worth in sleeping with women.”

“Growing up, I was far from being a ladies’ man. In college, I worked on myself to improve my self-confidence as all my life I had been longing to have someone who liked me back. All I ever wanted was to have a girlfriend. And as my self-esteem grew, so did my luck with the ladies.”

“Eventually, I was able to get a girlfriend, someone who was good to me, but I wasn’t satisfied. I continued to look for validation from other women, which turned into cheating on her.”

“I thought that I had discovered self-confidence because I could be more social and was more outgoing. But I realized that on the inside, I was still insecure.”

“Growing up in my family, there were no good examples of healthy relationships, either. All my uncles were womanizers. This probably had an impact on me as well.”

“It’s very addictive being wanted– especially if you aren’t often. The shame makes it worse, strangely enough.”

“You can’t really talk to anyone about being tempted or even crossing the line. There’s no support system from your friends or family that tell you you’re [stupid].”
