Why do men have affairs, is it simply because they no longer find their wife attractive and just want someone younger and sexier? There’s no doubt that in some cases physical attraction plays a part but this is not always true.
In many cases it’s nothing to do with looks, it’s because of some emotional need that is not being supplied by his wife or partner.
So what it this emotional need that a man wants from his wife?
A Little Respect Goes A Long Way…
The simple fact is that a man wants to be respected and admired by his wife and when this is not forthcoming he is easy prey for someone who will supply this emotional need.
Let’s face it, if a woman doesn’t appreciate what her man does for her what does that say about the relationship?
Every time a man is nagged and put down by a woman his self-esteem takes a knock. This kind of treatment makes him more likely to look for someone else who will give him some respect. Simply put, when a marriage problem like this arises, he might look for someone who will restore his battered ego a little.
In fact, he might not even find the other woman particularly attractive but as long as she gives him the admiration he craves looks don’t really matter to him. Most men just want to be a hero to a woman and be appreciated by her.
Preventing an Affair..
When a woman makes her man feel admired and respected she protects him from the advances of other women because most men would do almost anything to have her admiration. If he doesn’t get the admiration he craves from his wife or partner it leaves him wide open to another woman who will.
However, a lack of respect by their woman is only one reason why men have affairs and there are several others you need to know about to prevent this happening to you.
Actually, there is no single reason why men have affairs. In fact, there are seven types of affairs each of require you to take a specific course of action to overcome them.
