Let’s figure out why some guys might do the wrong thing, like cheating, even when they have awesome wives. There are different types of guys with their own reasons, like wanting excitement or looking for approval. Knowing about these can help couples make their relationships stronger.
Come along as we explore why some guys make not-so-great choices in their relationships.
1. The Eternal Bachelor
Here’s the eternal bachelor, a guy who loves the excitement of pursuing something new. Even if his wife is fantastic, he’s always searching for the next thing. Commitment might feel too restrictive for him, and settling down isn’t something he’s interested in. So, if you’re dealing with an eternal bachelor, get ready for a rollercoaster of short-lived romances.
2. The Insecure One
This type of man may seem like he hit the jackpot with the best wife, but deep down, he battles with insecurities. These insecurities may lead him to seek validation outside the marriage, as he tries to convince himself that he’s still desirable. In his quest for reassurance, he may find himself in situations that compromise the trust and commitment he shares with his wonderful wife.
3. The Serial Flirt
Picture this: a man who can’t resist turning on the charm, even when he’s in a committed relationship with the best wife. The serial flirt enjoys the thrill of flirting and often doesn’t see harmless banter as a threat. However, these innocent interactions can escalate, leading to emotional infidelity or worse. For the serial flirt, boundaries are often blurry, and maintaining a loyal connection can prove challenging.
4. The Impulsive Adventurer
Introducing the impulsive adventurer, always looking for the next exciting thing. Even if his wife is the definition of stability, he wants the thrill of the unknown. This kind of person tends to make impulsive choices, which might involve cheating. His spontaneity, while interesting, can take him down a path of betrayal, putting at risk the security provided by his great wife.
5. The Narcissist
Here comes the narcissist, a man who can’t get enough of looking at himself. His constant desire for praise might lead him to cheat as he looks for continuous validation and attention. Even if his wife is amazing, the narcissist’s self-centeredness might make him go after brief affairs just to boost his ego. It’s not about the wife; it’s about making sure everyone is paying attention to him.
6. The Perpetual Seeker of Validation
This man always needs approval from outside to feel good about himself. Even if he has a great wife who loves him, he still looks for confirmation from others. Someone who always seeks validation might get involved in other relationships to fill the gaps in validation he thinks he has. Acknowledging and dealing with his need for validation in the marriage can help stop the temptation to look for it somewhere else.
7. The Lost Soul
Sometimes, a man might cheat not because he’s being mean, but because he feels lost in who he is. A lost soul has a hard time figuring out their own identity and might look for a sense of belonging in other relationships. Even if he has a great wife, he might go looking for meaning elsewhere. Helping him find himself again and making the marriage connection stronger can be the way to stop cheating for someone who feels lost.

Am living with a person who has all the characters mentioned above . Marriage is hell with him. I lost confidence in my self am just good for comparisons to him he even mentions it he is toxic and am finding it difficult to leave him.
Leave him, I did mine after 23 years of staying married with him…I’m finally finding myself again and hopefully I will be back to my normal self.
Just get a divorce, i left my papers on his birthday.
Best i ever did! 18 years married tired of threts, narcessistic gaslighting, love bombing. He never loved me! Leave befour you die in a loveless marridge.
Me too. Hes all except maybe the lost soul. Im not married to him thank God but basically stuck here with him because I absolutely cannot find anyplace else to go.I want out so bad and have been looking for over a year for my own place. I cannot afford anything. I dont know what to do.
Anonymous it might be best if you look to move in with a friend or family member for now if u want out & then look for a place, as you will find it easier & less stressful. Please don’t stay in a relationship or in the same house as someone you no longer love as its not good for you. I hope you find something soon.
I finally left my man after cheating on me & ended up being stuck in the same house as him for a few years as single people. He kept trying 2get me back but I didn’t trust him. He has now finally gone as i have found a new man who is none of the above. It was the best thing I did but it took me ages to quit the relationship due to his nasty temper(mentally not physicaly).
He controlled me so much & I didn’t realise it at all but I did once I stood back & took a proper look on things.
My husband of 1 year and half (however we only lived to gather for 10 weeks as he was in different country, I flew to him few times)
We got together it’s been few weeks and I found out he was talking to some girl. He’s saying he didn’t have physical relationship with her and ensuring me nothing like this will happen I’m future but I am not able to let it go aa I loved him with my true and 100% heart. It’s hurting me too much.
I do t know how I should go about it.
I’ve been married over 5 years. I’m his 5th wife my 2nd husband. 13 years younger. he has told me he cheated on two of his past wives. I’ve noticed one of his employees he has more than a work relationship. I’ve seen the text messages and yet he always putting that person down and deniesamy other involvement, he does not know I’ve read text messages, I did screenshot what I could get. want to catch him cheating if he is. I’m honestly miserable. sex is all he seems to care about. more like roommates than married.
