Topic: Why do people cheat in relationships?? (Read 358 times)

What i believe the people may cheat because  they aren't happy in their relationship, they want attention from someone else  they crave new and exciting experience, they had personal issues with commitment, they feel entitled to have multiple partners, they can have emotional or physical need that aren't being met, OR they are tempted by an opportunity. Well their Cheating isn't okay and can hurt the relationship. It's important to talk openly and honestly with your partner about any issues or concerns to prevent the cheating

Real love is rare in this world at this moment. Everyone cheated on everyone. I think if the loved couple is bored with each other, then openly they should share their hidden things to express with others. I hope it helps them.

no one shouldn't go outside from one another. Love means believing in each other. understanding of a loving couple.

I think the reason people cheat is because they are bored of their partner. They are less noticed by their partner, so they think that their partner no longer loves them. And want to find another, who pays more attention to him.

There is no tangible reason for someone to cheat on his or her partner in any relationship.
Partners usually cheat on each other for their own selfish reasons or interests. I have come across a lady who loves her partner but still cheats. And when I asked her why and she said "she cheats because her man cant satisfy her sexually. While the other said her partner cant provide all her needs. And the other said her partner doesn't give her much attention. The reason people cheat is so numerous.

Imo, people cheat because of:

• Treatment/attitude towards partner: If you're the type of person who has anger issue, always seeking for attention, abusive, etc. then there's a chance you'll get cheat on. People want peace in their life, you know
• Overthinking: It's self-explanatory. Overthinking results to overreaction which will then result to accusation.
• Money

Some people cheat because they feel neglected or unfulfilled in their current relationship, while others cheat because they want to experience the thrill of being with someone new. Some people cheat because they have a low moral character, while others cheat because they feel like they are not getting what they need out of their current relationship.
And a special type of cheaters are people, who are doing it to proof their power over their partner. They want to proof themselves, that they‘re untouchable. We call those people psychopaths 

There are couple of reasons ladies cheat in a relationship.
Lack of love and attention
For money
Lack of trust and more

But for the men cheating is our nature, we don't need any reason to do that

Cheating in a relatinship can be as a result of lack of contentment,sometimes it is caused by temptation.a man or a woman that is not contented with his or her spouse easily falls for temptation from other young people.

If I am in a long term supportive loving relationship, and I then have sexual relations with another woman,
and if I have not hidden this act from my partner, where exactly is the cheating?

Well then what would you call it?

The problem with this thread is that the question itself is preloaded with language that is judgemental. Hard to have open debate in that context.

Now a days it is common to see cheat in relationship. I'm single right now cause I can't trust anyone after a beautiful relation break up. And it is an excellency to be single cause It can help one to improve himself.

Why do people cheat in relationships??


Because women have the vote, and constantly mess their man up.

People cheats in relationships for so many reasons, but one of the reasons is lack of self-control.

It's crucial to realize that there is still a potential that the person you select to be in a relationship with would act foolishly. All parties to the relationship, whether mono or poly, are free to choose whether to continue working on it or call it quits. Remember that someone you meet in the future might have cheated in a previous relationship, and you'll need to assess whether or not they have improved enough to merit your trust.

there are 3 seperate drivers at play here

1: Desire
2: Romantic love
3: attachment

You can desire one person
Be romanticly in love with another person
while also maintaining a supportive loving committed relationship with a third person.

They are 3 different things and most people are capable of having all 3 at the same time. The existence of one does not diminish the feelings you have in either of the other two.

If people understood this, there would be a lot less drama in the world.

In continuation from my previous post quoted above:
...
Relationships such as sexual relationships outside of marriage like Fornication and Adultery actually breed insecurity in any society that allows or encourages them. A society is endowed with GOD-given or natural rules that act as Strong Boundary or Wall if fully obeyed. But once any part of the rule is broken, a section of the wall/boundary is broken or weakened and this makes the society vulnerable to attacks or invasion from foreign bodies. Breaking the natural rules create loopholes that can attract more of the "spiritual energy" or evil spirit that successfully caused the rule to be broken. For example, sexual affairs outside of marriage will typically attract Spirit of Lust/whoredom. That spirit will begin to corrupt and takeover the whole society like a gradual decay. And that will weaken the society and attract other kinds of spirits.

Fornication and adultery are serious problems that must be tackled for a society to be well shielded or protected from attacks and general insecurity. Those who promote or encourage them can be qualified as criminals because it's a crime to break the natural rules that keep a society secure. Violators should be constantly reminded to stop or be destroyed.
Obey the commandments and have faith in the CREATOR. and HE will help you do what is good or right always.

Anyone who understands why and how a society gets corrupted and sick can cure many diseases that afflict mankind. Cells in the body operate in similar manner, like micro societies or bodies. Once a cell violate it rules, the cell wall is weakened and harmful viruses/microbes successfully invade it.
Obey the good rules.

true love will definitely not cheat. if a partner is deeply in love, and is not interested in anyone other than their partner, they are definitely not going to cheat. because they only see their partner, whatever shortcomings their lover has, they will remain loyal.

people whose definition of love is because of lust, will falter and one day he will glance at someone other than his partner. because it is only lust and not true love.

love must complement each other. And don't just look at it in terms of appearance.

People cheat because they want more. It's only after they cheat for a while, that they figure out that they are getting less by cheating.

In my opinion, one of the factors that drives infidelity in a relationship is lust. Or sometimes the infidelity factor is because he sees his partner from the negative side. This means that he only sees his partner's shortcomings and does not see his strengths. Therefore, he wants to find someone else who is greater than his current partner.

Whereas as a couple, we must accept each other's shortcomings and strengths that our partner has. And in this world, no one is perfect.
