why is the woman responsible for preventing her spouse from cheating?  this article needs to be published on a website for men, not women.

Oh, David, you should have saved yourself a lot of time and effort—excuses, excuses, excuses, I can sum up why a man would cheat in one sentence fragment—because he is an a-hole...and it’s not my job to ‘prevent’ him from straying, because I say good riddance to any man who would.

There are plenty of wonderful men who probably are neglected at home, who do feel like they are only needed to fix dents in the drywall, yet the honor the vows they have made.

And it goes both ways, because women need to ‘fulfill their biology’ too—ever been around a woman while she is ovulating??—and maybe I feel like my only purpose is to do housework and geez am I bored with my husband’s repertoire, yet the fact of the matter is that I do love him and would never be so selfish as to hurt him in that way.

Are you serious?  This is such crap. 
So on top of cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, doing the grocery shopping, making sure breakfast, lunch and dinner are made, doing YOUR laundry and picking up your socks that are so carelessly left about, we’re suppose to prevent our husbands from cheating by catering to his needs??  When my husband does all of the above without complaining every second, then maybe, maybe I’ll actually have time to sit down and have a conversation with him!
Because if they’re going to cheat, they’re going to cheat.  And if they do then ADIOS!  Let that homewrecker deal with his dirty laundry and cook his meals.

I disagree with this only being appropriate for men to read. Men already know this! Women need to know what could go wrong before it does. It is good to read it as a reminder and just insight to how a man is wired compared to a woman. I don’t think it was intended to make women feel responsible to keep their husband’s faithful, but helpful hints to keep a relationship alive. I’m sure there are many flames out there that are not burning as bright and sometimes all it takes is a little something extra or out of the norm. Works for us anyway!
I’ll never forget the look on my husband’s face when I asked him to sneek in the bushes with me when we were vacationing in Florida. We had about 15 minutes alone after our miniature golf game while our parents were watching our daughter. Why not? We are married and it did spice things up a bit.

I think the article is well written and spot on.

I agree that men who cheat are probably trying to gain attention, or are bored, or exhibiting any other toddler-like behavioral issue--but BIOLOGY? I call B.S. on that. I sure would like to see the science that shows that somewhere in the male’s chromosomal make-up he has the urge to cheat. What, x-chromosomes don’t feel the urge to cheat? Or, y-chromosomes don’t have the ability to fight it, while x-chromosomes do? Come on. I agree with the poster who said, ‘excuses, excuses, excuses.’

If biology is at all at fault for a guy cheating, then the only prevention we should be doing is to prevent him from getting married or making any commitment in the first place.

I think it was spot on as well. This is about keeping the romance alive in your marriage and if you feel like it’s part of the ongoing daily tasks like laundry and dishes then you don’t get the concept. Marriage does take a little bit of work and doing something outside the norm once in a while makes all the difference in the world. The only thing I’d change about the article is that it goes both ways. Maybe the title should be why spouses cheat instead of just men.

I think this fella is doing some honest work here. I don’t think he’s implying that women are responsible for whether or not it happens or doesn’t. Cut him some slack. He’s trying to be helpful and anyone who’s been in a long-term relationship be it marital or otherwise knows there are ups and downs and times when you’re turned on and turned off. This works on both sides of the gender spectrum. The element holding it all together is love. And, sometimes, even in the deepest of loving relationships mistakes are made or dare I minimize mistakes to missteps. The idea of monogamy is not finite but mutable and complex. Are we truly inclined toward monogamy? Intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, yes. Physically, instinctively, genetically… maybe not so much. Navigating that terrain can be tricky and rights and wrongs purely conceptual. It’s what’s in your heart at the end of the day that matters and what will, ultimately hold your relationship together or shatter it into pieces.
