For some reason, whenever a relationship ends due to infidelity, its assumed its because the guy cheated.....
Be honest ladies, have you ever cheated?
I did once---the guilt was enough never to do it again!!  |

I think men are more likely to act on the temptation.
I cheated many years ago. The relationship was pretty much dead, but still not a good reason to cheat. Like you say, the guilt and shame I felt at being duplicitous, was horrendous! *karma

Having worked in a sexual health clinic I can honestly say that there are plenty of women out there who cheat, I couldn't give you a ratio of women to men but it's a lot closer than you think |

I didn't cheat,my husband did. Of all the people I know the proportion of men caught,or openly cheating is much,much higher than women. Maybe they're just useless at not getting caught or not secretive enough |

Nope, apart from a teenage holiday romance I have never cheated, and no man has ever cheated on me either.
If I did not feel someone was trustworthy I wouldn't be in a relationship with them for more than five minutes anyway, I like to be totally transparent, and choose people who are the same.

An interesting mix.....and honest answers too. I don't think I'd be confident enough to assume I've never been cheated on.....I've luckily just never found out I guess would be fairer to say!! X |

Bit of a grey area from studies I've seen. Depends how cheating is discribed. From a pure sex stance is penis in vagina then men cheat more than women. Bring a wider variety of things like oral sex, intimate touching, masterbation then the odds are about even. |

I am quite certain my husband cheated on me when our children were younger. But as I'm now cheating on him, I am not complaining or looking for sympathy. What goes around, comes around |

I have yes
though it didn't feel wrong, for the last 8 years of our marriage we didn't have sex or even share a bed room, didn't feel like a marriage at all, he didn't want me so I felt no guilt in looking elsewhere |

I was accused of cheating, even though I wasn't. The amount of abuse I received from her friends and family was unreal.
It eventually turned out that she was cheatingon me and she got sympathy!
I'll never understand the double standards and why men often get the thick end of the wedge. But I guess that's life.... |

Interesting. They do say cheaters sometimes accuse innocent partners of cheating. To deflect attention from their own wrongdoing. Found this to be true in lots of circumstances

I've had more than one man tell me they cheat because they feel it's expected of them and because they don't feel 'manly' only having one woman  |

I never felt guilty, I even told my ex and he didn't believe me
my marriage didn't feel like a marriage and I felt I owned him nothing, so I made no effort to hide ythe fact, but when I told him he just laughed and said words along the lines of..yeah good one, who'd want you? He thought I was making it up to make him jealous which gave me the go ahead to do what I wanted really
I don't condone cheating but he had no interest in me sexually so I didn't feel like I was cheating as i wasn't doing anything that would hurt him |

Someone once sent me a link to a book that states something like a quarter of men are bringing up children they think are there own but are not
I didn't persue it as I had no interest and thought it was rubbish,but someone somewhere seems to believe its true enough to research the infidelity

If all these men are cheating then there must be either a handful of knackered women or just as many women cheating cos who are themes cheating with?
Women are probably better at being discreet about it, possibly because historically women had more to lose if a long term relationship or marriage went down the pan. |

Someone said to me once, "I wish I could be like you, you're very girly but with the morals of a man!"......
She had automatically assumed that, because I was going on dates and nights out with the girls etc that I must be cheating on my husband........she didn't even stop to think I wasn't even married and just happy being single!!! Lol x |

Mrs
My partners ex wife had an affair with his best friend when he was living with them and that was the end of that marriage!

o, not worrying in the least (for me anyway).
The way I see it, even it transpired that I wasn't my children's biological father it wouldn't change a Damn thing. I've been their father since the moment they were born and nothing could ever change that. |

I did cheat with a few males off here it was obviously just for sex
I did get caught and felt terribly guilty when I saw how much I'd hurt my partner, I would never do it again ever, I was very lucky he forgave me like he did.
I'm a good very girl now |

I never had sex or sexual contact with a guy when I was married but I had a VERY Close male friend that I talked all the time and spent a lot of time with we told each other we loved each other . My ex used to say it was worse than cheating as it was deeper . My ex fucked every thing that crossed his path . |

Do women cheat as much as men? Yes probably...
I know a fair few who regularly cheat on their husbands/partners. I tell them that I don't want to know any details and not to come crying to me when it all goes tits up.

I did
While in a sexless marriage
And instead of getting out like I should have
I embarked on a 4yr affair
With a guy 10yrs younger
And to this day he has a secret account on fb and messages me ever week
hence he's married now and I'm the single one

I think it's about equal but I believe men are more likely to initiate it. I know so many guys who are constantly trying their luck with other people.
The reasons tend to be different too. I think men often cheat because they're bored, women because they feel neglected. |

I think years ago more men travelled alone met more people etc. while women were left at home in a smaller social group so more men had opportunity, these days that is not the case. Women work, travel etc as much as men. So they are not stuck with the milkman as the only available prospect. So I would guess equality reaches into cheating too.
Don't really know or care much as long as I don't do it, and I hope that L doesn't want to either. |

I'll duck after I've written.
I believe it takes at least 3 people to create an affair. And I speak as both a cheat and one who was cheated on. My ex and I were not suited. He had a fling in the run up to the wedding. I'd slept with someone else before our 2nd anniversary. While separated the year before our final split I almost reunited with my ex fiancé (though I didn't sleep with him, emotionally it put my marriage at far more risk than a one nighter with some random). Eventually when we split he was cheating with my then best mate. But actually it was just the last straw. He wanted a traditional wife. I wanted to experience life.
I was on the rebound from the fiancé, he'd only ever had casual flings till me and I was his first love. |

Interestingly just read this somewhere and thought I'd share.....
Women who have nothing in their relationship feel the need to cheat....
Men who have everything in their relationship feel the need to cheat!
