The Top Reason Why Men Cheat

What is the number one reason that men cheat on their wives? Do you think you know the answer. Well, you might actually be surprised by the real answer.

When asked this question: why do men cheat, most people will answer that it is because of sexual dissatisfaction. But according to research, this isn’t the real answer at all.

M. Gary Neuman, the author of the book, The Truth About Cheating and a marriage and family therapist, says that his research has shown that the number one reason that men cheat is because they feel that their wives don’t appreciate them.

ngs can a wife do to show her husband that he is appreciated? Practicing simple thanks you for things that he does. While, as a wife, you may not think that you should thank your husband for the little and the big things that he is supposed to do, saying thanks is an easy thing to do. Small gestures of thanks, from a peck on the cheek, a shoulder rub or even a look can let a husband know that he is appreciated.

Nagging is a quick way to make someone feel unappreciated as well. Do you constantly have to ask your husband to do something over and over again. While that may still be very frustrating to you, it also may make him feel like you don’t trust him to do what is expected of him or appreciates when he does it.

One area of “non-appreciation” that is easy to fall into is in the area of child care. Yes, we expect our husbands to care for our children, and we expect them to do it the same way that we as mothers do. But instead, why not ignore the fact that the room looks like it has exploded with toys and instead focus on how happily the kids are when they are getting piggy backs with daddy. Tell him.

Kids or not, you should aim to find new ways of telling your husband thanks for just being him. Don’t be surprised if he then starts sharing his thanks with you as well.
