5 Reasons Why Politicians Cheat

In the wake of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford’s extramarital affair, we once again find ourselves asking the question:

Why do politicians cheat?

There are a number of reasons why politicians cheat, but the five most common reasons are below.

A Sense of Entitlement

Many politicians feel they can do whatever they want because of who they are and the position they hold. They consider themselves exempt from the rules that govern everyone else.

The Thrill of the Chase

Many cheating men enjoy the subterfuge, the lying, the scheming associated with having an affair. Cheating politicians are no different. Infidelity gives them the kind of adrenaline rush they’d get from participating in a high risk sport.

Ego-Embellishment Reasons

Having an extramarital affair can feed the already inflated ego that many politicians have. They can mentally congratulate themselves for being cunning enough to keep everyone around them in the dark about what they’re doing behind closed doors.

The Excitement of Doing Something Forbidden

Just like ordinary men, some cheating politicians engage in infidelity or extramarital affairs solely for the excitement of doing something that’s forbidden.

The Belief that They Can Get Away With It

One of the main reasons many politicians cheat on their wives and have extramarital affairs is because they feel confident that they can get away with it. And many of them do. We only hear about the ones who get caught.

Should the Wife of a Cheating Politician Go or Stay?

While the wives of many cheating politicians stay with their husbands, there are some wives who choose to leave. Dina McGreevey and Terry Mahoney come to mind. There are many factors a betrayed wife should take into consideration when trying to decide the best course of action to take. First and foremost are the attitude of the cheater, and the circumstances of the affair.

The Go or Stay Tip Sheet points out some of the factors a wife would want to consider when trying to decide whether to leave her cheating spouse, or give the cheater a second chance. It also covers the two biggest obstacles to taking a cheater back, and offers suggestions on how these obstacles can be overcome.
