Oportunistic Infidelity 

When Temptation Arises

As it sounds, opportunistic infidelity is when your man quite simply gives in to his sexual desires when the right situation arises. One night stands fall into this category nicely, and often the man has deep regret for what he has done, and the more in love with you they are the more the regret.

Often this type of infidelity can be fueled by drugs and alcohol at social gatherings such as work functions, which is no excuse. Depending on the circumstances of your relationship the cheating man will be overcome with guilt. However this usually disappears when the chances of getting caught fade away.

Obligatory infidelity all comes down to seeking approval from his peers, and is based on an underlying fear of rejection from resisting sexual advances.

Even with a strong emotional attachment to you, because of the social aspect of wanting approval from people around him he will still cheat, acting in conflict with his feelings, and morals.

He doesn't want to cheat on you, but because he needs approval from others, possibly to enhance his social status he will act accordingly.

Conflicted Romantic Infidelity 

As you might have guessed, conflicted romantic infidelity, is when he has strong emotional feelings as well as sexual desire for more than one person.

Although its nice to believe in "one true love" its still entirely possible for him to be in love and attracted to more than one person. This is the type of affair that most people imagine happening.

Conflicted romantic infidelity causes a ton of stress and anxiety, not only for you, but also for him. You have to bare in mind that this can be an extremely confusing and emotional time for him.

Being in love with more one person means that obviously he cares deeply about both women and so does not want anybody to get hurt. The sad thing is that often everyone involved eventually suffers.

Commemorative Infidelity. 

Although similar to Romantic infidelity there are significant differences. When your man is involved in this type of affair, he has no love, attachment or sexual desire towards you.

He justifies his affair by saying to himself that he has a right to feel his needs outside of his relationship with you.

However he will still want the relationship with you work. The main reason for this is so that he's not seen as a frailer by his friends and family. I.e. the people that he has a mutual respect for. So he will continue to fulfill his needs outside of the relationship.
