I just had to step in here after reading this remark.

What an ignorant and broadbrush statement as to why people cheat.

People cheat for reasons beyond merely "not being happy with" their significant other. The reasons for cheating are as individual as those who cheat and you can't just neatly categorize cheaters as "being unhappy" with their 'loved one', or that they "wouldn't have done it all" had they been happy or satisfied in the relationship. Some people are actually in satisfying marriages or committed relationships yet they are lacking something themselves or in their own life, and they cheat in an effort to fill that need.

Some cheaters get off on the risk and danger aspect of it, some (whether they realize it or not) want to be caught and subsequently get off on the power trip or the hurt they inflict on their SO, and of course there is the whole group who are just aren't mature enough to handle the pressures of a marriage and cheating is a way to feel in control.

You are very misguided if you think you can simplify the reason for cheating down to someone not being happy and that they "wouldn't have done it" if the person's significant other "made them happy".

The unfortunate bottom line to it all this is this: the gratification the cheater gets from cheating comes before any potential negative consequences of their actions. They disregard the hurt and pain their actions may cause their loved ones, including any children who may be involved in the equation, in the favor of satisfying their own selfish needs.

Cheating on a (supposed) loved one is sad. And it's patently unfair (and completely naive) to, directly or indirectly, blame the cheater's wife or husband for the cheater's selfish actions.

the loss of the baby and his cheating is my guess

As far as why prince cheated, only he and God knows, but my guess is that for whatever reason he was never ready to a one woman man.
Up until his recent marriage, he always had lots of girlfriends. It doesn't matter how much he loved the girl he was with (look at the susannah situation) he still did it.
Why? who knows, but don't always blame the girl. If that was the case he must have really bad taste in women, because he's been doing that since he started dating.
Maybe he had a fear of commetment, especially since his parents divorced. Maybe his father or someone he looked up to did it. Men cheat for various reasons, don't be so quick to blame mayte.
Prince (the cheater) was wrong, I know that's deeply hard for some to admit, but it's true, and 95% of the people who say it's mayte's fault know it.

LMAO!!! good call!

I'm sorry, but a guy that wants more than Mayte...has serious problems.

I've heard this crazy theory that people cheat because they want to have sex with someone new. Call me CRAZY, but I think this is true in many cases...

...lol

TonyC said:

Um, not really. In most cases of infidelity, the reasons are MUCH more complex than that.

The sexual gratification aspect of cheating is only an obvious, outward indicator of deep-seated problems affecting a relationship or the individual(s) in the relationship.

That is, of course, unless you are the most superficial, emotionally retarded person on earth who functions purely by his/her base emotions and who perceives everything around them on a hypersimplistic, shallow level.

In which case you are probably a sociopath and should seek professional help.

Mayte is a beautiful lady...

I wish her well as she journies through life.

He was very controlling. He even admitted that. He wouldn't even let her see a male gynocologist. I don't think she was interested in being a JW either. I don't think it was her fault at all

When we talk about people who split up, I'm sure there are not innocent ones. Prince is guilty, she is guilty, and I suppose love simply ended.

If we step back and observe we will find that Prince is no different than any other man. There r people in this world men and women that cheat 4 all kinds of reasons. Why this comes as a shock 2 anybody just blows my mind. Prince is different but he is normal just like everybody else. He's a little on the Xcentric side but as far as relationships go he's no different than anyone else. know about a dozen people that have gotten married and they r all divorced now. would have been the first one 2 say that when Prince finally did get married just knew he'd b married 4 life. Hmmm! It didnt quite work out that way. 4 whatever the reasons r we will never know. Marriage is hard and U have 2 commit 2 it above and beyond. If we look at the sanctity of marriages in the world 2 day we should have known that it might take Prince a couple of marriages 2 get it right. Why should he b any different than all the rest of us trying to live life find love and b closer 2 God?
...speculate on

I concur completely

Hey Melt, Prince sounds like an asswhole to me!
Hope he don't come knocking on my door.
Think he's trying to grasp the "Watchtower", like
Hendrix? Hmmm

Why can't people just keep it real with their music?
Damn Melt, why?

GailLightheart said:

Mmmh, Light Heart; I'm not sure to see your point. I hope Prince knocks on my door: he's only a person, and a very interesting person, I think.

Who the hell knows why they split? My guess is there were mutual reasons.

In the end, if they both worked through it and are better, wiser people now, I'm happy for them both.
