LIFE && married douchebags

The romantic, timeless situation... of the Married Man coming onto you.

We have seen it in the movies, we have heard the romance and the horror stories... and we have labeled those men as douchebags. So... What makes a married man cheat?

Is it the need to feel Macho and like He's Still Got It? Or is he plain and simple... a douche... scum of the earth, and not deserving of the woman he married?

Below are two scenarios that are fairly typical to this tainted situation:

Scenario 1:
You go out for a night on the town with the girls, of course looking fabulous as usual. You squeeze your way up to the bar, of course next to the gorgeous hunk, and order your drink (A tall glass of him a la mode). Conversation ensues and low and behold the appropriate 'time' passes where the significant other could have, and should have, been brought up... GREEN LIGHT (no significant other) and the races are off... at some point later on you inevitably find out he has a significant other (hopefully not already into the affair state)

Scenario 2:
You are familiar with this man, whether it is as a co-worker or an acquaintance, so you know he has a significant other, and he knows- you know. Yet he proceeds to bring on the flirting... innocently enough mind you... but semi-innapropriate comments about missing out on seeing you, or simply swinging by your office more often. The comments/gestures continue to become more inappropriate, but they are always ever so slight to skip through the radar detector.

So which scenario is worse? Is it better to be aware of the douchebag from the beginning or is finding out later on worse? What is it about these seemingly 'nice guys' that makes them have this entire alter-ego for cheating?

Call me old fashioned, but I want to go back to the times where divorce was a social abhorrence, and the cheating bastard was excluded from society. Since that is not possible, bring on the sexual liberation and it's up to us gals to get together and weed out the douchebags.

Be careful, have fun, and maybe pick up that hot guy at Home Depot while picking up your weed wackers ;)
