And that, sugarlips, is why we cheat on you.

As for evolutionary psychology and the tribe thing even tribes have taboo’s on sex. One of these is the clan or totem systems where rules within the system when broken can result if severe punishment for the offender.

All other comments are just an excuse for not having the will power, integrity and discipline to honour the marriage vows.

Yeeessss.........NO.

The distant human ancestors (australiopithicus afarensis) branched off about 3.5 million years ago. From our perspective they were animals and driven by primal instincts. The only rules were the few required to co-operate as a small social group.

It isn't until speech developed a mere 40,000 years ago that humans gained the ability to communicate complex ideas. Such as stay with me and stop looking at that slut!

Groups grew into tribes, which evolved rules = laws. Speech also allowed abstract ideas such as morals to develop. Morals are disparaged in today's me-first society but they are important. They put the brakes on purely instinctive behaviour. We don't steal stuff even though it's easier than working. And rape isn't acceptable - unless the babysitter is really begging for it.....

The point is - each of us has primal genetic instincts which have existed for 3.5 million years and a mere 10,000 years of civilisation doesn't wipe those instincts out.

I suspect they're actually quite well suited to each other. Takes all sorts, etc.

They want their egos stroked. The sex just sort of goes along with that.

Exactly. If my hubby started talking shit about me and made derogitory remarks about women in general, then yeah, I guess I would eventually look to someone else to make me feel valued, as he obviously doesn't have much respect for me, as a woman.

At least you have another caring hubby if that ever eventuates.

Indeed.

Dunno about that, though. Maybe that just indicates that he values you as a pearl beyond price, a precious and beautiful example of what the rest of femininity strives and often fails to be?

And I know he doesn't talk shit about women! Gotta love those mormons!

I'd love to see a similar discussion on "Why women cheat"

Actually, women aren't that different to men. If you ever want to try and understand women, just think of a man and take away reason, logic and accountability and there you have it.

Please remove your tongue from my arse.

See, now I KNOW you're just trying to humor me.
Actually, I think he's afraid of me.

Fear and respect.
