Why do men cheat? Lily Allen & David Harbour edition

[ImplodingLoading]

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!

Oh please do link to the statistics on this 🙄

People cheat because they are cheats. It has nothing to do with the person they cheat on. Sometimes they try to say it is - my ex-BIL told my sister he cheated on her because of her stretch marks and because pregnancy made her boobs saggy - but it is always because they are cheaters.

Just like other awful people. They do things because they are awful people.
Rapists rape because they are rapists
Thieves steal because they are thieves
November tree people put their trees up in November because they are November tree people.

All we can do is avoid the assholes and try not to be assholes ourselves.

Imagine that rich, famous men who regularly work away have far more opportunities than the average married man to meet and get to know more people and cheat.

True, but they’re like breeds of dog :) Some will shag any old leg - others, not so much :)…

I think sex drive and desire is a bigger factor in some people’s lives than others, and varies through the lifespan. And there’s a lot of variation in impulse control between people.

In my 20s I was utterly boy crazy, but still fully capable of not shagging whoever I fancied regardless of our circumstances. I’ve never understood people who believe they literally cannot resist their sexual urges. Seems like a pretty passive and chaotic way to live.

Watched the latest batch of Stranger Things last night and David Harbour looks rough as. The idea that there are women queuing up to plug his butt for him baffles me.
