Why men cheat when their partner is pregnant

You shouldn't think about it when you're lying on the couch, puffing with your round belly, but it can happen that he goes out for the evening and suddenly comes home very late.

Men cheat, and they do it even when their partner is pregnant. No matter how bizarre it sounds and how blunt it is for their loved one, they still do it. The numbers are always difficult to determine because many people lie about it. Still, it really seems that 1 in 10 people cheats at least once in their life. This is not only due to the fact that men have less sex with their partner when their girlfriend or wife is expecting, but mainly because of all the tension. They are nervous about what is to come and need to blow off steam. And then there is a pretty girl who doesn't complain about belly pain and morning sickness. They find this new time exciting. They are happy, but at the same time, so much is changing in their lives that they don't know how to deal with it.

Another important aspect, according to experts, is that the physical image of their pregnant wives also changes. They don't see the round belly as something sexy, but as something that doesn't belong to their partner. Of course, this doesn't apply to all men, but there are those who stray during such a phase in their lives. And there are more phases like this. Other sensitive moments for some men are, for example, the weeks just before their wedding. Due to the nerves and worries about whether everything will go well, they have a less pleasant time at home. They are stressed and want to throw their thoughts somewhere else for a while. Plus: they have a bit of cold feet. Suddenly they think: oh god, this is it. This is it for forever. Then they quickly go to the pub and act crazy before it really can't happen anymore. Well.

Let's especially remember that there are also a lot of men who do come home on time. And then we quickly give them some extra love.
