If prostitution is the world's oldest profession, then adultery is surely the world's oldest sin, with relationships the world's oldest collateral damage.
The excuses may be unique to each situation, but I'm sure they are all variations on the same theme. Off the top of my head, I'm guessing they go like this:
We bonded over ______________________
She understands me/my needs
She pays attention to me
She isn't too tired/busy to have sex
It all boils down to ...she feeds my ego what it needs, whenever it needs it. She puts up with all my bullshit without ever challenging me on it. They don't have boring, everyday life to deal with. The kids, the house, the bills, the job....all of the inconvenient things that are not fun.
It's interesting to me that men only seem to leave a relationship once they have another one to go to. Like some kind of simbyot that cannot survive the outside world unless attached, leech-like, to its host. Whereas women, leave relationships for their own good, or their children's well being, wether they have a place to land or not. Or they are forced to stay in a bad relationship for socio-economic reasons, struggling to survive and make things work. Sometimes they accidentally do. Or so it seems, anyway.
This is so prevalent, it almost seems like it is meant to be. That human nature can take no other course. We are programmed into our predestined rolls, and no amount of evolution can change that very basic human condition of ego.
