8 Reasons Someone Cheat On Their Partner…

When I fell in love for the first time, it was like nothing else I'd ever done. I was sure I had seen it in a romantic comedy. Yes, I have read about it in the book I love by Jackie Collins. But until I did it, I didn't know what it was really like.

But There Are Very Fewer People Whose Feelings Stays Like That After Some Time. Issues Come, Situations happen, And Relationships Becomes Hard. Some Solve Their Issues Maturely Some Take Other Ways To Fulfill Themselves. Stuck In Their Relationships, Some Prefer Cheating. Which Emotionally Damages Their Partners. Loving Someone Is Hard But Keeping That Love Intact Is Harder.

So Here Are 8 Reasons People Cheat In Relationships…

1. Anger Or Revenge.

Partners Can Make Each Other Angry. It May Be Due To Something They Did Or Said. You Can Get Cheated Also. So As Revenge, You Try To Do The Same They Did To You. You Want Them To Feel The Pain And Suffering They Caused You. Or By Getting Angry On Them, Due To something Else They did, Can Motivate You To Find Someone Who Can Take Your Anger Out, By Staying With Them. Somehow You want To Punish Your Partner By Cheating On Them.

2. Falling Out Of Love.

Peoples Feel Every short of Excitements When They Get Into A Relationship. But It Doesn't Last Long As Consistent Dopamine Can't Be Released. If Your Relationship Doesn't Grow Over Time, It Will Surely Fade Out. And There Are Relations People Can't Quit So Easily. But Without Romantic Love In Your Current relationship, You Might Seek Someone Else.

3. Situational Factors And Opportunity.

Having An Opportunity To Cheat, Makes Someone More Likely To Cheat. Doesn't Mean Everyone Will Do So. But Included With Some Other Factor Motivating, Someone Might Have A Greater Chance Of Cheating Their Partner. Like, In Long Distance Relationships, If Something Bad Happens Between The Partners, It Makes Them More Likely To Take situational Opportunities, Which Results in Cheating their partners.

4. Commitment Issues.

For An Ever Lasting Relationship, People Get Committed To Each Other In Their Minds. But Everyone Doesn't Think Equally, And Everyone's Priority Doesn't Collide. Sometimes You Don't Want To Get Committed To Someone. Because You May Had Some Bad Feelings In Your Past, Being Committed. So People Wanting a Casual Relationship Or Want A Way Out Of A Relationship May Cheat on Their Partner.

5. Unmet Needs.

People Have Their Physical And Emotional Needs. Which They Want To Get Fulfilled By Their Partners. But Not Getting Enough Intimacy Or Emotional Support May Motivate Them To Get Those Needs Elsewhere.

6. Sexual Desire.

Simply Huge Sexual Desire Can Also Make People Cheat Their Partner. To Fulfill Their Unmet sexual Needs, They Might Find Opportunities To Cheat. Even People Having Sexually Fulfilling Relationships Might Still Want To Have More Sex With Other People. It Doesn't Need Any Other Factors To Motivate. Only Sexual Desire Can Make Them Cheat Their Partners.

7. Wanting Variety.

People Get Bored When Their Relationship Doesn't Provide Any More Excitements. As Activities With Their Partners Don't Change Much Over Time, They Try Finding A Variety Of Conversation Or Sexual Activities Somewhere Else.

8. Low Self-Esteem.

In A Long Term Relationship, People Starts Appreciating Their Partner Lesser And Lesser. Or the Same Type Of Appreciation, Over Time From The Same Person, Start Feeling Less Genuine. So People Wants To Regain Their Self-Esteem By Having An Affair. It Provides Them With Their Necessity Of Positive Feelings, like Being Empowered, Attractive, Confident, Or Successful.

If You Get Disrespected By Your Partner's Wandering Eyes, Or If They Feel disrespected By Yours, It Can Be Difficult to Move Past It.

Agreeing On Boundaries Is A Good Start. Talk About The Things You Are Not Comfortable With And What You're Comfortable With. Discuss What You Consider Cheating. The Definition Can Vary From Person to Person.
