Why men deny cheating when caught red handed.

My SO of 6 years (living together) was just busted with 3 women in his phone. He knows them from Facebook, and they are well within meeting range. The messages were blatantly sexual. HE "neglected" to tell them he was in a committed relationship, and attributed not being able to meet them to work hours. He denied it all even though I was standing there with the phone and showing him each line. Why can't men (this is NOT my first go around with this sort of thing) just admit when they are caught and not make utter fools of themselves back-peddling, side-stepping, and lying badly? Especially since we are 50 and 51 and way to old for these silly kiddy games.

@Medusax,
I think more importantly, why do you accept this type of behaviour. You make it sounds as if you have been through this before more than once in your life, accept it, just don't want to be lied to.

I think that's "ok" when you are young but a grown man at 50/51 should be ready to settle down with one person, don't you think that you deserve that?

If these women are "in his phone" only, then they are not reality to him; they are fantasy.

Tell him to stop this silliness. See if he can.

If he can't stop this attention addiction, then decide if this is a deal breaker for your relationship.

@Medusax,
What would you do if you were caught?

@maxdancona,
When I am wrong..I can admit it. I have never cheated but if I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar, there wouldn't be anything else to do but tell the truth, don't you think??

@PUNKEY,
I am not a total prude. If they were far away, not within easy driving distance and a tryst easily planned, I would accept the "fantasy" thing, ridiculous to me as it is. Personally, I don't keep nebulous men in my phone or anywhere else because I have no interest in what I perceive to be bullshit.

@FOUND SOUL,
Hi. I don't "accept" it. I have ended relationships in the past for this without hesitation. He hasn't done anything physical YET..but the conversations were more than just a bit of attention whoring. One of these ladies was very hurt as well as very apologetic to me. She didn't deserve this, either.

Why do you keep picking guys who do this?

Shrug.

Lots of men aren't like this.

Enjoy your walk.

You could just stay away from men... I suspect that would make two people happier in this world.

@ehBeth,
a) Not all men or women cheat.

b) sometimes a man or woman will cheat once and then not do it again within a marriage, even a long one, issue resolved.

c) sometimes cheaters stay cheaters.

People can be complicated, and writing them all off in a swath of bitterness isn't useful.

@Medusax,
Because it often works.

There was a great Sid Ceaser bit years ago where his wife walks in on him in bed with another woman and he denies, denies, denies...

If a woman doesn't want to believe her man has cheated on her she is liable to accept even the most flimsy of evidence that he didn't.

People believe what they want to believe, regardless of the facts.

I almost always agree with Mame, except about anchovies.
