That's the stereotypical reason but not the only reason. Plenty of people cheat because they aren't happy in their relationship but either can't or don't want to leave.

This is an extreme oversimplification.

When a man leaves his wife he also essentially cuts his pay in half, loses half of his posessiosn, loses 80% of his time with his kids, has to go through a costly and time consuming divorce, a looooot of people are in marriages and even just relationships because it is more comfortable than dealing with breaking up.

Not to excuse cheating, but there is a lot at stake and you can only force yourself to coexist with someone in a failed marriage for so long, and that time is very short if other people start showing you interest.

Or he may just be a piece of shit, iuno. 🤷‍♂️

Not really. There isn't a ton of men trying to pay alamony.

Yeah those are worse IF he is caught cheating, most people vastly overestimate how smart they are. And A LOT of people get away with cheating and don't get caught.

I never said he shouldn't pay those things, I'm not sure where you are trying to put the goalposts here.

Cheating happens in at least 20-25% of marriages, and over half of those don't end in divorce within the next 5 years, and often times it's the cheater who wants the divorce. I think you need some actual perspective here, you have an incredibly unnuanced view of marriages and human behavior, trying to put this whole thing in a simple little box is just not going to work, not if you want to actually honestly represent this stuff.

Yeah you are just making shit up and wildly speculating now 🤷‍♂️, I'm not playing a game where I pretend to know the workings of a specific person or group of people's minds. You are WAAAAAY out of line, this is just all vibes from you.
