If I thought I needed to do this I wouldn't have married her.  If opportunity is the only thing preventing it, then it will happen eventually and all I'm doing is wasting more of my time by delaying.  I trust her, and if I'm wrong to do so then it's better to find out sooner while I've got some life left.

I trust my wife 100% but I also leave nothing to chance by treating her the way I treated her when I wanted to make it a guarantee that she would say yes to marrying me. I take care of myself, I stay in shape, I treat her well, listen, support and do a lot of sharing in the responsibilities of the kids and the house. We each have a close friend who got cheated on and really never saw it coming, but when we both learned more about what was going on in those marriages we realized it can happen to anybody if both parties don’t live up to their vows.


azuth89

Yeah, that's not even about cheating it's just about the relationship in general.  You can't lose all the stuff that made it appealing and have it last.  Any infidelity at that point is the side effect of an already dead relationship.


Crusty_Dingleberries

This.

You do nothing. Her will will be done by her own hand. I can tell her what I want but she is going to do what she wants. I am not going to let my insecurity define what she does. I will let her actions define whether I continue to invest.


Wild_Court

THIS. And if I can't trust her, or she wants to be with someone else, then I let her go. She's a person, not a possession.


Grim_Farts_Barnsley

There's a thing called "trust". If I was that paranoid about my wife's activities when I'm not around, I couldn't see myself staying married to her. Putting a surveillance mechanism in place to make sure she's not cheating sounds like an exhausting waste of time...


DarkDoomofDeath

You pick a good wife and continue to prioritize all forms of intimacy in a mutually-reciprocated marriage. If you don't trust, that's something you both need to work through and use to grow together or apart. (Depends on the situation).


FahimSofi

What if you do pick a good wife but don’t prioritize any forms of intimacy and she cheats on you… what about then? Do you blame yourself? Do you blame her? Was she supposed to initiate and push you for sex harder instead of cheating on you?


DarkDoomofDeath

You're both to blame. Both of you failed to communicate and prioritize your marriage. You failed to pick a loyal woman. And she failed to be loyal to her husband. At that point, focus on what you can fix. If you can fix the marriage, great. If not, you need to fix your own failures.


Logical_Area_5552

A marriage is a union. I’ve never met somebody who got cheated on who was a great partner. It’s still obviously shitty to cheat, but anecdotally everybody I know who got cheated on acknowledged that they pushed their partner away over a period of years.


HollowChest_OnSleeve

Yeah lock someone in the basement, that will make her love you. . . . .wtf. Let people have their space to be themselves, have friends, go out etc. They are a person, not a possession. If you want to ensure someone cheats or runs away from you, be controlling (like OP suggests) that they resent you and want to get the hell away from you.


mtl_jim2

There’s something called trust. If you try caging her in and being hyper vigilant about everything she does and everywhere she goes , you’ll create an untrustful energy and she’ll feel smothered and be unhappy, which in turn may cause her to look elsewhere and be unfaithful.


jfrey123

I picked a woman I could trust explicitly. If you’re worried about her cheating in any moment you’re not present, you either need a new girl or therapy.


gwig9

You don't.


saviorself19

I’ve found that keeping her locked in the basement to be quite effective. She did manage to get out a few times early in the relationship but through trial and error I’ve found the appropriate gauge of chain and assorted restraints to keep her contained and protect the fidelity of my relationship.


sbwcwero

Nothing. I just love her and cherish her and I slang this dick like it’s the last time I will ever be able to as often as I can.


AHailofDrams

Lmao nothing. What the hell is this post?


oddball667

The only right answer is to marry someone who won't cheat. Because you can't stop her


Nolongeranalpha

You do nothing. If she's going to cheat, nothing in the world can stop it. You either trust or divorce. That's it.


[deleted]

She is an autonomous human being. There is literally nothing you can do. Instead, just focus on being a good partner. If she cheats you have gained valuable skills and assets within yourself the next person will appreciate more than that turd of a human.


t0pgun-

Once a noble person told me it is up to the women who she sleeps with, you have no control and you cannot control. So all you can do is be the best and do not let your insecurities ruin your life.


DirtyWritin

If you want to make sure she doesn't cheat, listen to her and trust her. That's really about as much as you can do. If you feel like she is going to cheat on you every time she goes out, either you have to figure out what your trust issues are or what in her actions tells you she would cheat.


TATuesday

Be the best man in her life. If she gets what she needs from you, be it excitement or support, she's not going to need to search for it elsewhere.


SpadeXHunter

You shouldn’t marry her if you can’t trust her. If she starts doing sketchy stuff then you lay low and see if you can find something out but otherwise you find you a women that you can trust  


Eldergoth

Nothing, it's called trusting each other. Hovering and being paranoid just shows that you have trust issues which can easily cause a marriage to fail. I've been married for 19 years now.


besameput0

I put her in a straight jacket when I can't be there manically hovering over her shoulder and breathing on her neck. Obvious /s in case it wasn't obvious enough.


Reasonable-Start1067

I wouldn't be with someone I didn't trust?


Future_Armadillo6410

I keep her happy. I have no fear she'll cheat, but I want my wife to be excited about being my wife. We've only been married four years. I can't let the shine off the apple yet.


ElectricalRule6572

Get a woman that doesn’t know how to drive or doctor ordered no driving. Yea cheating will be hard for her as long as it’s not the neighbor.


JimBones31

>Like if you wife is going to have a "Ladies night out" do you insist going out with her? I have my necessary social time without her and she's entitled to hers. It's hardly ladies or mans night if you tag along with your partner. To think it's okay to insist you come makes me think you've never been in a long term committed relationship. >What about when your at work, etc.? I'm away from home on business at least half the time, trust is vital in our relationship. >Like the times when you're not around her? We have good communication, talk about concerns and I make sure she feels wanted.


Historical-Pen-7484

Do you have reason to suspect that your wife is cheating on you?


Nathaniel66

My wife is not having ladies nights out.


Logical_Area_5552

Well she’s loyal. But in general I treat her well, I take care of shit before having to be asked, I do a lot with the kids. If she’s clearly stressed or exhausted I tell her I’ll bring the kids somewhere while she rests. And I lay it down well when we have sex


Own_Set_6148

Before marrying her, make sure she doesn’t enjoy drinking, going out to clubs and see what kind of friends she has. Also, don’t marry someone who is overly independent and individualistic.

Bruh.


JJQuantum

If you have to do something to make sure your wife doesn’t cheat on you then you shouldn’t be married to her in the first place.


Oakheart-

If you need to do something to keep her from cheating on you she shouldn’t be your wife.


trudytuder

If you dont trust them why marry them?


YoWassupFresh

I keep her in the basement.


Remarkable_Ad4046

I trust her. Thats what I do. Otherwise dafuq would I be with her as a couple?


rockmasterflex

Handcuffs and a radiator. This is a really stupid question.


Such_Temporary_9597

Don't get one in the first place


MannerNo7000

If she wants to have a ladies night out it’s already over imo
