I need to thank the guy that cheated with my exwife and married her. It hurt at first but I got over it. Eighteen months later my exwife tried to sleep with me when I went to see my kid. Her husband was away in the military and I told her hell no. Found out he left her and filled for divorce. What was he thinking marrying a cheater. I am sure he caught her and saw signs of cheating just like I did. Now I am married to a great women, we have a kid, and we are doing well financially.

Don't cheat on your partner, it's causes severe mental distress.. if you don't want to be with the person just break up

It all comes down to discipline. If you’re attractive it’s even more difficult because you will be tempted. Having the strength to say “no” to someone who you are attracted to because you are already in a relationship will be difficult but it’s your duty to do so. It’s not just relationships, it’s everything in life. You sacrifice fun for studies and career, you sacrifice tasty food to stay fit, you sacrifice fun to raise children. It’s not super natural people you just have to be strong and learn to not cave to every damn desire that comes your way. If you cheat, you’re weak. It’s strength and discipline, very simple.

If they'll cheat for you, they'll cheat on you.

I dont believe any study that depends on women selfreporting. Even when they participating anonymiously. They give socially acceptable answers or answer what they think other women answer.

I’ve heard so many people say it’s hard not to cheat and you just have to always remember how much you love your partner. Ever since I found my now-husband, I’ve completely stopped being attracted to anyone else. There’s not a single cell in my body that wants anyone else. When men would flirt with me before, I was usually flattered even if I didn’t like them. Now, it’s annoying and it makes me want to be physically violent because I know they see my ring.

It’s so weird that some people have to actively work on not cheating.

[JRA]

Never understood why people cheat on each other, if your the relationship. It's happened to me, I walked away without feeling any anger, betrayal, hurt or wanting vengeance.

Hey Doc, it's called monkey branching and some meathead explained it to me 10 years ago. Monkeys never let go of one branch until they're holding onto another branch that can support them.

I’m a just stay single. It’s lonely sometimes but I have a great family, good friends, a house with just me in it that I can come and go as I please and I don’t have to worry about getting chewed out or cheated on. Sure it’s lonely, but my God, is it ever peaceful.

It’s honestly the name of the game. Dating is probably the most primal thing about being a human being. I’ve had girls break up with guys to be with me, and I’ve had the same girl leave me for a new guy. They are brutal and it’s at a primal level. It’s almost like they can’t even control it. It has always caused me to remain cautious and pretty much avoid becoming too attached or emotionally invested into any woman.

Found out my wife has been having a affair for four months. Kicked her out and got the house and primary custody of kids. 😎

Nowadays, I'd say social media is one of the main problems.
Makes everything so easy for those willing.

Great interview and information. I had a few classes with David's father, Dr. Arnold Buss, at UT Austin.

When I learned about this subject matter while studying Biology in college, it permanently tainted my ability to fully embrace romance and relationships, having seen how fundamentally primal and opportunistic the game is.

[zaxbitterzen]

The biggest problem with humanity as a whole is it's almost impossible to quantify pettiness, spite and selfishness from person to person until its too late. The more we internalize such negative aspect's absent the ability to reflect on their inherent dangers the more toxic we become. This is legit how many documented serial killers are created both male and female.

In all my life never heard story of anyone who cheated had great future romantic relationships. They either cheated again on the new partner or got cheated on. Don't do it or stay away from relationships, SIMPLE.
