I guess people get a bit cynical when their marriage(s) don't work out. I have been blessed to find a really nice guy who is just amazing in how much he loves me, takes care of me when I need help, and is never abusive. And, as I said, good in bed, too.

I suppose one reason why people step out in a relationship is they don't think/feel their needs are being met.

I have read that some men, during their middle-age crises, have affairs and even maybe leave their wives because they know their wives have learned all their shortcomings, and they want to start over with some chick who will make them feel more like a superhero, so to speak. I've also heard that when men go to see call girls, they aren't necessarily there just for the sex, but they want a woman who will listen to them and make them feel valued. I guess that says that women shouldn't take their husbands for granted, should compliment them, and should make them feel important. How many women have we heard running their husbands down? (Of course, the wives might be disappointed when they were promised the moon, and the only moon they got was the one carved out in the johnny house in the backyard.)
