If you're (and don't lie to yourself) really happily married, then good for you. Just realize that your in a big minority, and you're very lucky. If you're somebody who wants to be able to control your own life and call most of the shots in your relationships, you can do that too. As soft as we've become as a society, at our core, most men want to be free to do what they want. They think it will be that way even after finding "the one", but then women often slowly chip away at that to where you don't even notice it until your too far into it.
Next thing you know, you're asking your spouse if you can go play with your friends or just get out of the house for a bit -- things you're old enough and smart enough to do on your own without permission. It's fine at first, but for some men, biology takes over after awhile and you just get sick of it, leading to a big blow up or deception or just plain misery -- ESPECIALLY if she starts withholding sex, which generally starts happening anyway.
It happens more than it doesn't.
