Not necessarily.
If it’s a cultural thing or if most of his family is like that, then yes he probably views monogamy as they do.
But if it’s just his father, he may have seen the damage it does and avoid it like the plague.

Answer by Dan
He may not want to be like his dad.

Answer by Xexx M
That would be a mistake if you punished the man for his father’s actions.

No Cheating is not genetic.

Answer by Ally Baba
I don’t think they ever proved that cheating was hereditary.

Answer by Xtra
He may or may not, but it was his father who was the cheater, not the son.

Answer by Tiger by the Tail
Don’t set yourself up with those assumptions; it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Answer by gracey
nope hopefully he has learned from his fathers mistakes

Answer by Simon Hardwick
No, not necessarily. Cheating is not a hand me down.

Answer by Mrs.P
It could go either way. It all depends on how is father’s cheating affected him.

Answer by Unsure
Loving & respecting his father is different & following him is different. He deserves a chance to prove he isn’t like his dad.

Answer by Optimist
Yes, the sons are always a carbon copy of their father. The mom has no input at all.

Answer by Graham S
I know two loyal non cheating guys who have a Father who is not loyal to their Mother. They love the Father but hate his weaknesses.

Answer by Muse Me
Statistics show that he probably will, but every person is his own …… who knows? We can’t answer that question. He may be appalled by his father’s cheating ways and vow never to be like him.

Answer by B
You have to ask yourself what this man’s values are if he respects a man that is a cheater. Just because someone is a relative does not excuse bad behavior and being his father does not automatically earn him his sons respect.

I see bigger issues with this man as a husband and wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole. You don’t judge him based on his fathers actions you judge him based on the fact that he love and respects a man with such low moral values.

Answer by Tora
The son is his own person and should not be judged for his father’s behaviour.

Answer by Common sense isn’t anymore..
Are you exactly like your mother?

His dad being a dick doesn’t mean he will be.

Answer by MariChelita
I can tell you from second hand experience that what his father did or who his father was will not determine who this man will become unless he so chooses to be that way.

My husband’s father cheated on his mother more than a couple of times, walked out on his family more than a couple of times, and was an irresponsible person. I’m not saying he is a bad man because every one of us has good qualities and bad qualities. I’m merely retelling the facts here. My husband took from his father what he chose to. His father taught him how to work in construction and my husband is a pro now. And all the bad qualities in his father he says he uses as examples of how not to be and what not to do because he wouldnt want to put anyone through what his father made them go through.

I fully trust my husband and honestly dont believe he will be an unfaithful husband. I may be a jealous person myself, and although I may sometimes act stupid (I’m working on that by the way) I have never once doubted my husband because he has not given me reason to do so.

I hope this helps you a little.

Answer by Grandma’s Wisdom
if he looks up to him.. it’s nice God made us are own person.. to choose our own path

Answer by sheloves_dablues
My father was a raging alcoholic. That doesn’t mean I am.

Your logic is so flawed it’s funny..

Answer by theseus8de
Turn this question around. If your mom ever cheated, would he have a good excuse not to marry you?

Answer by Shannon
I’d expect him to never make the mistake of getting married.
