Why Do Men Cheat?
Jannie Batts Why do Men Cheat? University of Pheonix Mr. Henderson June 25, 2010

Men who cheat do not think about the consequences behind what they do. Majority of men have reputations for being unfaithful. Men in committed relationships have illicit affairs for a variety of reasons, which includes: a tragic medical condition, a pregnancy under way, issues about money and the fact that he might not get the wanted attention he’s been looking for. Truth and deception can break up a home and family because even though they forgive it is hard to forget what broke up and who broke your home. Adultery is consensual sex between a married man and another woman other than spouse. An individual who has been charged with committing adultery may have a valid legal defense, such as the failure or physical incapacity to consummate the sex act. Some states have three goals in support of their adultery laws: 1. The preservation of the institution of marriage

2. The prevention of diseases and illegitimate children

3. And the safeguarding of general community morals.

Speaking from experience when the author found out that her boyfriend was being unfaithful.
She confronted him at first and all he did was deny it. Then finally she followed him for a few months and he kept going to the same house every night. Finally she went to the woman’s home to confront her. When she did come to the door, the author’s boyfriend who was constantly over the other woman’s home, just wanted to find out the truth, wanting to know if they were really doing what she thought they was. The other woman kept lying and so did the man. The reasoning behind this story is that during all of this, the author

    Sexual infidelity or adultery is defined as voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than a lawful spouse (thefreedictionary.com). Overall, 90% Americans disapprove of sexual infidelity in marriage; however, 15-25% of married men and women reported having intercourse with someone outside of their marriage (Treas & Giesen 2000; Wiederman 1997). According to Prins, Buunk, and Van Yperpen people in unhappy relationships report a greater desire and involvement in extramarital sex (Dollahite & Lambert 2007, cited Prins Buunk, & Van Yperpen 1993). The topic of sexual infidelity is important to research and discuss because several studies suggest that extramarital affairs are the number one cause of divorce (Dollahite & Lambert 2007).…

I tried to get someone else to take the meeting and couldn’t find anyone willing to do it. When I came home, I called the police department to tell them about the man in the backyard.

    Either party to the marriage may present a petition for divorce under cl. (i) of sub-sec. (1) of s. 13, on the ground of adultery of the respondent. The expression 'living in adultery' used in old s. 13(I)(i) meant a continuous course of adulterous life as distinguished from one or two lapses from virtue. It would not be in consonance with the intention of the Legislature to put too narrow and too circumscribed a construction upon the words 'is living' in (old) cl. (i) of sub-sec. (1) of s. 13 of the Act. On the other hand, it was clear that too loose a construction must also not be put on these words. For attracting the operation of these words, it would not be enough if the spouse was living in adultery sometime in the past, but had seceded from such life for an appreciable duration extending to the filing of the petition. It is not possible to lay down a hard and fast rule about it since the decision of each case must depend upon its own merits and turn upon its own circumstances. But it is clear that for invoking the application of (old) cl. (i) of sub-sec. (1) of s. 13, it must be shown that the period during, which the spouse was living an adulterous life was so related from the point of proximity of time, to the filing of the petition that it could be reasonably inferred that the petitioner had a fair ground to believe that, when the petition was filed, the respondent was living in adultery. By using the words 'is living in adultery' the Legislature did not intend to make such living co-extensive with the filing of the petition. The identical expression of 'living in adultery' is to be…
