Why the fuck do men (and women, don't get me wrong) cheat?

David Harbour and Lily Allen had a seemingly good marriage, and he cheated with a younger colleague.

Why do people cheat, especially when they have a good thing going?

Edited to add. I meant Edition!

Why did she cheat on her first husband?

She details this in her autobiography but it’s too long and detailed to make a short sentence tbh 😂

I always think of the guy from maroon 5 and how insulting it was to people who have been cheated on that everyone automatically said ‘but how could he cheat on a Victoria’s Secret model’

Ah right it’s her fault is it?

David harbour is clearly a hot mess with all sorts of personality and mental health issues.

Similar reasons to why women cheat. I mean, who do you think all those men are cheating with?

In my case it was his low self esteem and constant need for validation/praise and I was unable to give him that because I was juggling very young children/work/home
