I have been in an absolutely amazing relationship with someone whom I considered my best friend for the past three years. He's been nothing but wonderful to me. Authentic through and through and our love life has been consistently passionate and exciting. We have known each other as friends and acquaintences for 15 years and only got together as a couple in the past 3. We've had tremendous chemistry from day one and it has never waned. The relationship has been a serious source of joy for us both and we've both grown tremendously as a result of it.

....and yet....last night I discovered that he's been cheating.

So....I'm still processing everything. I haven't mentioned it. I need time. I'm pretty numb. My question is this....and this is because of the deep level of trust that I held for him....I need to know....are all men prone to cheat? And by that, I mean tempted or perhaps weaker when it comes to resisting the urge? Or maybe prone to cheat at least once? Tell me about monogamy, infidelity, and men. Are there any truly, TRULY monogamous men out there?
