He'll feel guilty because he's hurting someone who was there from day one, who was always supportive of him and never left his side, who stuck around even when things were hard; even when other people told them they shouldn't stay together because they weren't meant to be.

What drives a man to cheat?
Men often cheat because they are not getting their emotional needs met from the woman in their life. They may feel that their spouse doesn't understand them, or is giving them the cold shoulder for no apparent reason.
Unfortunately, cheating can quickly escalate into an all-consuming addiction. If a man cheats once he will want to do it again and again to experience those initial feelings of pleasure. The more he cheats, the more his wife's trust diminishes, which results in him being left alone with his desires even more.
He feels like he has to sneak around so as not to be caught by his wife, but this secrecy makes him feel even worse about himself. He's got a guilty conscience about what he is doing behind her back and constantly asks himself why am I doing this?
One day after a particularly difficult time at work when the urge was too strong to resist, he cheated on his wife. What happened next? His guilt grew stronger and stronger until he couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't keep up the facade any longer; his wife deserved better than him anyway.
He came clean about everything, telling her how much she meant to him and how sorry he was for hurting her. After some heated discussions, she forgave him and they worked together to heal from what had happened between them.
The physical effects of cheating
Cheating can have the physical effect of causing a decrease in sex drive. Several studies have shown that when a man cheats, he will often lose interest in his wife's sexual advances. Conversely, when a woman cheats, she may become more interested in her partner sexually.
This is because women are wired to pursue mates who they feel they can't get while men are wired to pursue mates who they know they can get. Research has also shown that women cheat for emotional needs whereas men cheat for sexual needs.
In other words, most cheating women do so as a result of their partners not meeting their emotional needs. Meanwhile, most cheating men do so as a result of their partners not meeting their sexual needs. Women are typically looking for someone who makes them feel loved or special while men usually want someone who they can be physically intimate with.
Even though there are some people who believe that it doesn’t matter what the cause is, these studies show otherwise. Understanding why you cheated can help you make better choices in the future.
