Cosmopolitan why men cheat

There was an outpour of negative responses to the publication's decision to disseminate a story many criticized as being "trashy. Not nice! Many people stated that the article displayed a clear double standard when it came to infidelity and different sexes. Another trashy article by Cosmo?? I decided to read the article instead of pulling on based on the click-baity headline. I'm sorry I did. What a sad way to go through life.

Cosmo reposted an image on its Instagram page featuring the same headline on a blurred photograph. The response was similar, with commenters leaving barf emojis and people rekindling their ire for the post. However, it did seem like Cosmo was intentionally responding to goad certain users into commenting more, or providing responses that people thought were "petty" and "lame.

While there were many individuals who claimed that people who were negatively commenting on the post didn't read the full article, many countered that they had read the article and didn't buy the writer's "justifications" for cheating on their boyfriend. Others argued that if someone just wanted to constantly cheat, then it's better they don't have a significant other or simply find a partner who is also willing to have an open relationship.

I thought she was the one. I thought we were going to get married. All of that junk. I was out one night visiting a friend that lived hours away and an opportunity presented itself and I felt like I could do it and get away with it.

She found out and we broke up. I met someone who really showed me my value and helped me through it, and it got romantic before we meant for it to happen. So my thinking was, if I do it first she can't hurt me. Back when I did it, it was just because it looked cool. Like, that was alpha to me. But honestly, in hindsight, it was because I had a really bad view of relationships ; my parents' relationship, my early relationships. I needed to know I was wanted. I had a lot of problems to work through.

I was seeing someone I met on Tinder. It was pretty casual. I liked her and I was having fun and had just come out of a long self-inflicted dry spell after a bad break up. According to Dr. Saltz, not every cheater is a repeat offender, but they can be—especially if they haven't worked on figuring out what drove them to in the first place or if they just don't care about anyone but themselves.
