Why Men Won't Ever Leave Their Wives For Their Mistresses
No, he's not leaving.The other day, I was grabbing a smoothie after my gym workout when I overheard a sad conversation. A woman was basically telling her friend thatshe was involved with a married man, that he loved her, but that he "still won't leave that evil b***h of a wife."
He may like you, but the fact is thatmen who go out to cheat oftenalready have made the decision that he's not going to upgrade you to wife status. Once that decision is made, it's basically set in stone.
He knows what his wife can deliver, and it's a higher standard of living. A divorce, a breakup, and a foray with a woman who might not live up to his expectations during "reality mode" might not be something he'd willingly undertake.
It's not so easy to walk away from a relationship with someone you're legally married to. This is true, even among people who absolutely detest their spouses.
Divorce is absolutely brutal on one's wallet. In a lot of cases, it can lead to a man (or a woman) losing 50 percent or more of what they own.
I'm assuming a lot of men like their kids. Divorce means that they will likely end up seeing less of their kids, regardless of what they do.
Nothing quite says "scumbag" like aman who leaves his wife for his mistress. Cheaters are aware of this and the stigma that comes with it.
Sometimes, it's just the fact that he's been with his wife for so long and invested so much into being with her. In economics, this is called the Sunk Cost Fallacy, and it states that people have a tendency to stay with decisions that they've already invested in.
Kids, finances, and reputation aside, there are other benefits to staying in a marriage that we haven't listed. It's nice to have a wife at home who takes care of the kids.
You're his mistress. You don't see him when he has diarrhea.
This is what it boils down to.He's got what he wants — on all corners. Why would he change it?
