15 Married Men Who Cheated Reveal What It’s Like To Have An Affair

7. “A man who needs sex will fuck other women. A man seeking something more cultivates a bond with another woman. There’s a big difference, and I did the latter, which my wife says is unforgivable. She can’t even look me in the eye. And my mistress just left me. It’s safe to say, my life currently sucks.”

8. “My wife forgave me pretty quickly because I cheated on her with a man. The idea was less threatening to her than if I’d been sleeping with one of my 20-year-old female students. For a long time I was in denial about being bisexual, so I have some repressed feelings to sort through. I have my wife’s blessing to do what I want with other men now as long as I’m safe, and whatever I do doesn’t take away from our time as a couple. Not a bad deal, huh.”

— Professor, 38

9. “When you have an affair, it’s easy to forget that you’re not the only one who might slip up. The woman I was fucking behind my wife’s back was married too, and her husband ended up calling my wife to rat me out. Nightmare. I hate feeling out of control, so I doubt I’ll ever cheat again. Lesson learned.”

— Physical Therapist, 29
