Comment From Last Blog Entry


So Dreamon78 left this comment on my last blog. "Many studies show that a large percentage of men that look outside their marriage do so not for the thrill of passion but the need for emotional intimacy."
I thought I would but of course voice my opinion about it. Which, again feel free to leave yours. Yes, I have been married. No I never cheated when I was married. My ex was my first. Before I got married, yes I did sleep with someone else. I could not honestly get married without really knowing what else it was like. At that time I wasn't missing much.
Society can do all these studies and numbers but really how many people are honest when they answer questions? And when they are running these studies they are using a certain group that runs from a very small population. When people go looking outside of a marriage either male/female. It means something is missing. Meaning their partner is not giving attention the way they would like, they are needing some positive feedback to just give them a little push forward. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with sex, just a friendly ear. Yet with that friendly ear comes that connection, that bond. Sometimes not even realizing it is happening. Many guys seem very good at talking about passion yet are not very good at actually doing it. Yet, if there is to be passion one would think then there would be some emotional connection.


Always be yourself

I'm honored to have my comments featured in your post. I thought I should probably make sure my observations were accurate and found the following from a marriage counselor quoted on Oprah . com

What's the number one reason men cheat? Ninety-two percent of men said it wasn't primarily about the sex. "The majority said it was an emotional disconnection, specifically a sense of feeling underappreciated. A lack of thoughtful gestures," Gary says. "Men are very emotional beings. They just don't look like that. Or they don't seem like that. Or they don't tell you that."

Based on the expert, my orginal thoughts were right and your observations are spot on.

I think there are three key components to a happy relationship -- physical attraction, mental attraction, and sexual compatibility. We usually meet someone based on the physical and mental aspects, then *hope* the sex works out. If it doesn't, one or both partners will feel miserable, and that's when they're likely to look elsewhere.
