Ever wonder what guys talk about when we're not around? Here's your chance to have a sneak peek inside the other half's heads. Filly.ca and AskMen.com have teamed up to reveal what guys really think - uncensored. Ladies, welcome to the Male Box.

Cheating whilst in a relationship is probably the most hurtful thing one can do to their significant other. It ends up not only hurting the ego; it can make someone feel very insecure about themselves.

And although there are certain attributes in relationships that may give someone the need to find sexual affection and gratification elsewhere, cheating usually results from a dissatisfaction of sorts.

Personally, I think there are no excuses for cheating, but as my male counterparts always say, "it's in our genetic make-up to be polygamous." I guess nowadays, that goes for women too. Maybe even yours.

Levels of cheating

Now while some complain that cheating includes masturbating online and others think that simply becoming close to someone on a mental level is betrayal, for the sake of argument I'm going to stick to the good old definition: having sex with someone besides your significant other.

If you are in a great relationship and want to ensure that your woman, whether she's your wife or simply your girlfriend, doesn't stray into another man's arms, then make sure that you don't commit any of the following.

The element of surprise is a wondrous and marvelous thing... you don't have to dress up like Batman, but giving her a soft, wet kiss and spanking her on occasion may just spice things up a bit.
Before I delve into all the things that may lead your woman to find a boy toy, however, keep in mind that there are some women who are just rotten and cheat on men in a serial fashion because they can. And if your current woman has openly admitted that she cheated on all her boyfriends before you, perhaps they weren't the problem.

You stopped giving her attention

Problem:

If there's one thing I can surely admit, being a woman and all, it's that the female condition makes compliments mandatory, especially when change is involved. If she went from a long haired blonde to a short haired brunette and you didn't even notice, then perhaps Johnny from the block will be willing to comment on her hair in great detail.

Solution:

Your ability to pay attention to detail must be honed in a relationship and there's no better time than the present to do so. Even if there is no change in her appearance, telling her you think she's hot (even saying it like that) can make all the difference in her day and your romantic relationship.

And when it comes to sex, if you're always doing the same thing over and over again, chances are she will long for some intrigue and mystique in the bedroom. The element of surprise is a wondrous and marvelous thing... you don't have to dress up like Batman, but giving her a soft, wet kiss and spanking her on occasion may just spice things up a bit.
