The reasons in this article are not reasons to cheat. They're reasons to have a very serious conversation with one's partner....or to leave if necessary. They aren't a reason to cheat.

I'm a man, whose never cheated and I disagree about the third reason. But I do agree about, the two reasons before it. However, I agree with Jay.

A guy who I thought was fantastic, was, in fact, married, i feel like I have broken all the morals that I have lived by my entire life. i also feel like I have betrayed a sister whom I have never met.

Yeah. i agree with the comment below this one.


This stuff is all good to know, and while it is of course very important to include your partner in your holiday activites and remember his needs haven't changed just because you are in holliday-frenzy mode, none of this stuff (like that line that was practically hidden in the last paragraph) is any excuse for cheating. Why? Because there is NEVER an excuse for cheating. If he feels ignored, abandoned, unwanted, or any other form of pathetic. he should either get a sociallife of his own with some male buddies, help you with your holiday things, or learn how to be a man, and talk to you about it. Cheating and then using any of the above excuses is compleatly unexcusable.


Excuse? I see reason! American males have been so brainwashed into being whipped that women are no tinterested in what he is feeling. The does not need to be an "excuse". Sex is. Hetrosexual males are that not Homosexual. If you are not willing to be his sex partner do not complain when he finds good sex somewhere else! You cannor own another person. Sexual/ emotional slavery is a prevelent PC pean. The truth is that American wimen want it both ways with them in control!!


Males have the RIGHT to find satisfaction!! If their woman is pathetic, they have every right to go elsewhere. Your attitude is that you stand on a pedistal to be worshipped. American men need to reassert themselves. And not worship false goddesses!
There is no "right" to cheat. IF you want out, get out!!! Everyone likes to be worshipped. Even American Men!!!If your woman is pathetic, let her know, or leave her. Pathetic is dishonesty and ignorance.

Why is it so hard to get out of the relationship before someone is hurt ? Are we not all adults ? Dont we all have control over what we do ? Dont we understand that when someone is cheated on, it affects more then just that person. We're not on earth that long, why spend it hurting someone ? Yes ending a relationship hurts...but not as much as the cheating. " Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" Does anyone who has cheated really understand what that means ? I'm thinking most people have no idea what that means. How sad is that ?

Stupid Title for an Eharmony Article ...


I would expect this on the cover of Cosmo but not in here.


And this has nothing to do with 'holidays' ... and nothing to do with just 'men' ...


Both men and women cheat for many reasons.


Sure, there are a MILLION things that can bring a 'wedge' into the relationship. The holidays and a woman's interest in holiday things ... just one of many examples where men and women may not be as 'nuts' over the same thing. That doesn't explain male infidelity ...and are there some statistics showing that 'men cheat more during the holidays'? ... IF not , then why this article?


Why am I sensitive about this? Because it paints a negative picture that has no foundation.


If the Eharmony staff is going to help , they can start by putting some 'useful' content in these articles instead of mindless crap and attention grabbing titles.

This is a good article, though I balk at the assumption that only men cheat!

WHat the ???? Your article makes it sound like boys will be boys, and us girls better keep the home fires burning properly or we'll loose our man! Oh darn! Cheating donkeys!!! You sound as if you're making excuses, and that cheating is inevitable. How about some men are just cowards who will not put in the hard work it takes to make a marriage successful? How about if some of these husbands would take some of the burden off of the wives maybe they would be more willing and not so tired or grumpy??? Ya think?
It takes two to cheat.


So why are women so willing to spruce up and cheat during holidays?


These article are written to push buttons and provoke unthough outbursts which will appear as nothing but a house size red flag to any potential person who might have been interested in getting to know you.


Show the thougthful and loving side in your responses, don't let people/articles pull your strings for their own purpose.

What, only men stray? Another bogus article. Who are these men straying with, cows? No with women, some of whom are straying too.

I'm starting to think this is the most biased website on the internet.

Do not bear guilt that is not yours. HE lied to you, and HE is the one who broke his wedding vow.
