Why men cheat?

Isn't this the topic of discussion on every news channel … I have been thinking about giving my views on this topic right since Eliot Spitzer and Former Presidential Candidate John Edwards were in news. Also is it right to assume that only men cheat and not women and shouldn't the real question be "Why does one cheat?"

Is there even an answer to this question. I find this question very lame.

It is the basic tendency of humans to look for something exciting to do. You look for a new job when you have no growth in your current. You look for a new hobby if you are bored with your routine life. The same applies to marriage, I can feel a lot of eyebrows being raised with my petty comparison, but the truth is that you have to work on your marriage.

If marriage gets routine you look for something new, if you dont find it within your home you start looking outside. What happens thereafter totally depends, it depends on what you find. Some people find a new circle of friends to hang out with, some a new sport, some a new passion and some find a new friend whom they can associate with(or atleast in their current situation they think they do) and some dont wait for any of these they indulge in meaningless sex right away.

Is this the Right or Wrong way of thinking?? I am nobody to judge. Who is right or wrong?? .. again I am nobody to judge. If the relationship doesnot work out it is because of both and not one.

But the bottom line is someone you once loved deeply, somebody you once promised you would grow old with is devastated. The damage is soo bad that it can never be repaired. The trust can never be regained. So whatever you decide to do make sure you re-run the fun memories with your loved one and then decide what needs to be done.

But again to think of it ... how can a car run without gas. How can a marriage survive without love. Does it even make sense to be in such a relationship. I really dont have answers to these questions, thought i should provide it as a food of thought for those interested.
