Is it normal for guys to cheat on their girlfriend?

I know a guy who has been dating for 4 years and he has cheated on his girlfriend multiple times and she forgive him for all of them that she knows of. They are in a long distance relationship but that doesn't mean he should go out and cheat on her. So why would he cheat if he says he loves her? Why would she put up with him time after time?

    Yeah, that's messed up and they're probably both messed up. I think when people accept fucked up behavior repeatedly it's evidence of a an underlying problem.

    • I believe they both have personal issues and they are together just because they been together for a while but they don't love each other anymore.

        I would prefer not to have to have anything to do with either of them. He's probably just a piece of shit and she's lonely and desperate.

        • She's beautiful and can get any guy she wants so why continue to be with a cheater? Also, why would he say he's trying to work things out with her but goes behind her back and cheats?

    The girl's mental health is basically utter shit.
    The guy cheats because he can't control himself.
    He only says I love you to keep the girl on the side.
    And the girl is probably blaming herself when he cheats.
    It's the mentality of "I'm not good enough so he cheated on me." Only way for her to get out of that is to get attached to some other guy.

    • But she won't let him go though. Neither would he let her go because he knows she allows cheating and no other woman he's been with allows it. She's basically his back up plan.

        It's because they're co-dependent. She won't let him go because she doesn't know if she'll find someone else. And yes, she's kept on the side for precisely that reason.

        • She is young and pretty. She can get any guy she wants. Who knows maybe she is cheating which is why she don't care about his cheating anymore or has self-esteem issues and blames herself for the cheating.

    There is no excuse for cheating. Their relationship is unhealthy, and she's too attached to him to leave.

    You can be her emotional support, but your friend needs to be the one to understand how bad the relationship is and end it.

    • She's not my friend I don't even know her. I know the guy and the stuff he is doing and hurting her more each day.

    Cheating is unjustifiable in every way. Even though I find other ladies hot, i will never cheat on my girl friend and love her more than anything in the world and she feels the same way about me. We are very open to each other and trust ourselves with both our hearts!

    Why? Because guys are weak losers who don't know how to control their animalistic urges. Exactly why I don't date them. And HELLO!! Actions speak LOUDER than words! He doesn't love her obviously otherwise he wouldn't stick his ugly, slug looking cock in another hole. She probably has low self esteem, and doesn't think she can get anyone better so puts up with this low life.

    He's in a long distance relationship and he still gets caught cheating? He should be grateful for the girl he's got cos he's clearly a retard.

    It's normal for guys to cheat but it is not right.
    He probably does love her but he is'nt showing it well.
    Most people who put up with a lot of shit don't realize how much it is because it happens over time.

    • She can do so much better though I mean she can get someone else but why is she still with him?

        people get used to anything over time, at this point good or bad she's just used to him. Lots of people would sooner put up with something bad that they are used to than seek out something better that is not familiar.

    She continues to forgive him multiple times so therefore she is allowing this to happen. If there's no negative consequence to something it means its allowed.

    • But why would she allow it? Maybe she's playing the field too and don't care about him.

    I will answer your questions in the order you asked them.

    1. Cheating is not normal for men. It is no more normal for men than it is for women and statistics have proven this.

    2. Long distance relationships often don't work. Men and women both cheat during long distance relationships because the long distance gives a feeling of you not really being in a relationship anymore even though you are, often couples start growing apart and often people start feeling not loved anymore.

    3. There are many reasons she would put up with this. She loves him and can't see past that maybe she should dump him and move on with her life. She probably is in hope that he will change or maybe she can't stand the thought of being single. Whatever her reason is I think she should just dump him as he has cheated 4 times now and to me he has blown all his chances and by the sounds of it he will just keep cheating. She needs to dump him, let him get on with his life while she gets on with her life.

    • I agree with you 100% I hope she either dumps him or visa versa and they just move on with their lives. What's the point of trying to continue a relationship that they both know isn't working but still continue?
