So You Say He's A Cheater?

Have you ever had a friend who constantly complained about how their boyfriend/husband constantly cheated on them? Maybe you had to sit through endless stories about their ongoing affairs or listen to them simply whine.

So why do these women stay?

I've seen it numerous times....hell I've even done it!

You always have that one woman who constantly gripes but never takes action...

So here are some of the most common reasons why women stay:

1. They have children with this man. This ones pretty obvious...you simply have a woman who refuses to get a divorce for the sake of her children. Now personally if this is you don't stay! Why subject yourself to an unhappy or in some cases a sexless marriage. Point blank: You deserve happiness. So why settle for anything less?

2. They Can't Make It on Their Own. Now when I say this I mean that the woman simply can't survive on her own. Often times the woman has no college degree(or high school diploma) for that matter. Therefore, they are willing to subject themselves to the constant cheating. If this is you I want you to know that you CAN MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN!

3. They Don't Value Themselves. This is simply what it sounds like. They will take any attention they can get. They often times have very low self esteem and feel they can't do better. Well guess what? You can do better! Don't settle for a cheater!

In closing, instead of constantly whining or rehashing numerous affairs, leave him! Simple as that. The hard truth is that if someone cheats once on you they are going to do it again! Especially if this type of behavior has gone on for years. So have some respect for yourself and find a good man!
