Can a person be in love and still cheat?
Thoughts?
I'm not sure...I know a person who seems to love his wife but hooks up whenever he can. And, his wife is gorgeous and in shape.
Re: Can a person be in love and still cheat?
A person can expereince what he thinks is love and cheat. However, his "love" is probably a form of pride, possession or "conquering" than love. Rather than love his wife for who she is, he probably values his wife for what she provides to him - companionship when he wants it, domestic skills, arm candy, etc.
In the end, while it might be the best "love" he has to offer, it is not the love she deserves.

Yes, I believe it is possible on Extreamly rare (I'm talking incredibly rare) occasions. It would be something like .001% of people still truely love their SO and cheat emotionally or physically.
As for the person you mentioned they are a horrible person from what was discribed. They do NOT love their wife at all. Plus looks don't mean anything if she isn't giving him what he needs/ wants or he's just a cheater (some people are).
A spouse's great looks are no deterrent to an extra-marital affair.
Studies have shown that the person he or she fools around with need not be great looking.
If it's your spouse who is doing the fooling around, I strongly suggest you show him the door. An affair is a dealbreaker.
I'm not involved in anyone's drame at all. I just know this man who cheats on his nice and very pretty wife. I was shocked when I found out because he seems to really love her.
My ex husband was a cheater. He wanted to get back with me but noooooo way. I agree. Cheating even once is a dealbreaker. There is no excuse whatsoever!
Remember Charles and Camilla? that affair went on for years...and in the meanwhile, Charlie had a smokin' hot attractive wife.:( He lost a good catch and then some.
Oh yes!! Great example! Diana was beautiful inside and out! RIP
Makes you wonder if nicer people are more likely to be cheated on?
Edited to say: or a certain type of person??
Sadly, I do think that this can happen, because there is legitimate temptation out there and people can be weak. I was cheated on a long time ago (high school), and it was the worst feeling ever. But I also feel like there was a lot of love in the relationship, it was really passionate, and still, he cheated.
We were so young though. As people grow up, I would hope that there's more will power involved.
Chances are he does not love her if he cheats. Maybe she is a complete beast in the privacy of their own home. Maybe there are major issues. Most people keep their marriages to themselves. Problems and all. I know I don't go around blurting out my personal problems. I do vent but any marriage issues are solved between my husband and I. Not my husband, myself, and random people.
All this is why it's best to not ask questions about others marriages. You do not have the entire story. You have a small fraction of it.
You sure do know a lot of men like this in your life.
Wow! You are annoying.
1. Don't tell me what to do.
2. I'm not worried about these people. I asked a question based on my friend's store manager who cheats on his wife. I met he and his wife a couple of times briefly and dont get why this man cheats on her.
