Can Cheating Be Healthy For A Relationship?

men are explorers

A lot of men who are in serious relationships usually end up cheating after
a couple of years. The reason is simple; men stuck in long-term
relationships feel they are missing out on something. Most of the time,
these men cheat because they are frustrated and need to get it out of their
systems.

Men also like to explore and try new things. The benefit in this case is
that once men do cheat, they realize that it is nothing special and
probably won't do it again. This prevents them from being unfaithful later
on when the stakes are higher (like when they have a family) (oh well, this
is not applicable to all.. men!)

home sweet home


When people are in a relationship for a long time, they can't help but
start taking their significant other for granted. Sometimes they forget
just how great the woman they have really is. Men forget how wonderful it
feels to have someone who loves them unconditionally. Cheating usually
involves lustful feelings of physical attraction; nothing long-term.

The result is that once men are unfaithful, they will lie in bed and think
relentlessly about their unsuspecting partner. Why? Because the lust factor
has worn away and the reality didn't measure up to the fantasy. Instead,
they remember the good reality; the woman who loves them, bakes them
cookies and makes love to them. The old saying "you don't know what you've
got till it's gone" says it all.

nothing lasts forever


The most underrated benefit of cheating is that it opens a man's eyes to
the realization that his relationship is no longer nurturing and should be
terminated. Some people remain blind to the fact that their relationship is
"on the rocks" and the only way they can finally realize that it's not
going to work out is through cheating. It's a shame that some men have to
go to this extreme to see the reality: that they're no longer satisfied
with their situation.

Let's face it, nothing lasts forever and about 95% of relationships,
married or not, end (i.e. if you date 9 women before you ever marry, your
failure rate is 90%, assuming the marriage lasts). When you do break up,
you will probably have a lot of regrets, especially concerning all the
girls you missed out on -- especially if she's a six-foot tall Swedish
model.

So what did you learn from my point of view? That cheating is disrespectful
towards the person you've cheated on, but at the very least, it has two
beneficial aspects to it. First, that you'll realize your mistake and
appreciate your lover a lot more after the horrible deed.

The second is that cheating can help you realize your misery within your
current relationship, and will likely give you that necessary shove to move
on and stop wasting both your lover's and your own time.

Get it on!
