The Tiger Woods story has spawned a huge number of discussions about infidelity and the reason why people in relationships cheat. The topic has basically split the sexes with men saying women cheat just as men and women saying men are serial cheaters. It is a veritable battle! Maybe this is why they call relationships between man and woman “battle of the sexes”.

Some people do not need a reason to cheat: they will cheat any time the opportunity arise. The temptations are always going to come and the weak, most humans, will succumb if not be tempted by it.

Relationships that aren’t strong enough or where the foundations are already shaky, are most vulnerable to crumble. It is irrelevant whose fault it is, man or woman because when one unite in marriage or such like it’s no longer two people anymore: it is just a oneness. Thus if one person in this union has strayed then the entire relationship is failing.

It is commonly assumed that love can sustain a relationship and prevent people from straying or looking outside for extra-curricular pleasure.

But human beings come with built-in failings like lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride and vanity which makes them forever susceptible to temptation. Is it any wonder many people remain rather than risk a cheating partner in marriage?
