What Makes Men Cheat?
Could you forgive him?
Are all men cheating? Because this thought grinds many women, someone had to try to unravel the mystery. A recent study suggests that some men are more likely to cheat than others. According to its results, there is even a gene that leads to infidelity and which in some is present in greater numbers than in others.

What you didn't know about cheating
What is this infidelity gene and how does it affect your relationship with your partner? It seems that the gene in question directly affects the production of the hormone vasopressin, associated in men with the creation of strong emotional ties. When this hormone is not produced in normal amounts, the man is more prone to polygamy and is less likely to feel satisfied in a serious relationship.
However, experts point out that the infidelity gene is not the only factor that causes a man to cheat. The other signs to guide you are:
The relationship between his parents: as you well know, childhood deeply affects our adult thinking. Children who grew up in families where one or both parents had extramarital affairs may have a completely different view of cheating than those who grew up in families with parents who are loyal to each other.
There are two options in this case: either they come to deeply hate the cheating, looking at it as something that destroyed their parents' marriage, or they end up considering it normal in an adult relationship. If you want to get a better understanding of how your partner perceives monogamy, try asking him about his parent's marriage.
The first lessons from childhood: find out what were the first values that were passed on to your partner when he was a child. Has it been taught that honesty is preferable in any situation or that it is okay to lie to protect oneself?
If sincerity is a quality that was cultivated in her childhood, then there is a good chance that it will remain her characteristic for the rest of her life and, of course, she will expect the same from you.
Past relationships: you don't have to know a lot of psychology to make a simple deduction - if a man had a tumultuous relationship, in which he cheated, the chances are very high that this behavior will be repeated.
At the same time, if he was the one who cheated, he would have serious problems with confidence and would tend to control you at every turn. In any case, if he admits that he stepped crookedly, remember the word "who steals an egg today, steals an ox tomorrow".
His level of maturity: if a man does not want to dedicate himself to a relationship and make a commitment, no woman will be able to change his mind. Or if it succeeds, it doesn't last that long, because the old habits don't look so easy. If he is not looking for a serious relationship, things are pretty clear from the beginning and he will likely run away from other women. This, of course, even if it doesn't have the infidelity gene.
His job: it may seem hard to believe, but even that is a factor, according to studies. The higher the risk of taking a job, the greater the tendency for a person to take risks in everyday life. Maybe that's why some areas are full of unfaithful people, while others are not. You can read more about this interesting topic here!
As a conclusion about cheating, the existence of an infidelity gene should not be indisputable proof that a man will cheat. But there should be no excuse or justification. This study only shows that for some it is more difficult to resist nature, but given that man is a rational being, it is not excluded that he will overcome his weaknesses.
