Your father cheated on your mother, your past boyfriends cheated on you, celebrity magazines headline cheating scandals on the daily, and you can name more than a handful of your friends who have been cheated on too. It seems like every man will take the first chance he gets to get into another woman’s pants, he just can’t help himself.
Wait…is that the case? Are women just way tempting for men to handle? Is it really so easy to make a man stray?
Not if they’re happy.
Remember when you first started dating your boyfriend? You were so happy and in love you couldn't see straight for months. Even though the world is “full of temptation” it wouldn't have even occurred to you to look elsewhere. In fact the last thing in the world you wanted was another lame dinner date with the guy whose POF profile pic must have been taken 10 years and 25 lbs ago.
Men ultimately want to be in relationships just like you. They just fear being controlled and being stuck in something forever that makes them miserable. If a guy cheats on you it’s because he was miserable in your relationship. Period.
If you work to treat your relationship as you did in the first few months of dating and focus on happiness and love, rather than jealously and control, you have a pretty good chance of avoiding the “Who is this Sarah?” conversation.
To have the negative attitude that all men would cheat given the chance, sets you up for just that. Your boyfriend wants a woman who trusts him. Regardless of your past he doesn't deserve to be put into the “all men are cheaters box” right off the bat.
So throw out the statistics, have (and show!) confidence that he is with you because you are the super hot and ridiculously cool chick he fell in love with, and then rest easy in Monogamyville lady, because he’s not going anywhere.
