We all know or live cases in which we know of men who cheat on their partner with another and who, even so, decide to keep the marriage.

Seeing this, we ask ourselves, why do they do it, what stops them, what is the motivation of a man to lead a double life full of deception? The answer is simpler than you think.

1. A cheater does not leave his wife because he already has what he needs

One of the most frequent causes of infidelity is a lack of sexual activity or poor communication in the couple. But cheating men do not leave their official partners because only with them can they have a socially stable relationship, with children, pets, outings with friends and family vacations.

2. A cheater does not leave his wife because he loves her

So why were they unfaithful? The reality is that many times infidelity does not mean lack of love, sometimes, routine can lead the couple to estrangement and future infidelity.

Cheating men don’t leave their official partners because they hope that the flame of love will be rekindled and they can continue with their love life as they did at the beginning.

3. A cheater doesn’t leave his wife because he wants to avoid divorce

Unfaithful men like to have control in their love life, and a divorce or separation after several years of relationship or cohabitation would be a very strong emotional drain for them, in addition to the paperwork, money and explanations to friends and family.

4. A cheater doesn’t leave his wife because he’s afraid to start from scratch

We are all afraid to look for new romantic relationships and this becomes more difficult with age or after a separation. Many men don’t leave their wives because they understand that an affair is a passing thing that may only be fulfilling superficial expectations with the other woman, while marriage is something that has been built over years through many sacrifices.

In the end, we can only say that no woman has the obligation to forgive an infidelity, even if after having failed and being disloyal to the relationship, they return repentant to ask for forgiveness.
