Boredom
Relationships can get a bit boring and more routine over time. For some people, when this happens, they go out in search for something more thrilling instead of speaking to their partner and figuring out what caused their spark to fade and what they can do to reignite that spark;like going to the movies more often or have date night and using that time to rekindle the relationship.
Emotional reasons
Our emotions are so complicated and unpredictable and when we don’t confront them in an open and honest way they can cause us to do the wrong things. For example, after losing your job you might feel less of a man or a woman and this can have a knock on your confidence and it can only worsen if your partner is just as hard on you. So then to make yourself feel good again you might confide in someone outside of the relationship.
Sexual Intimacy
Sex is a very important part of a relationship for some people. So when they’re sexual needs aren’t being met in the relationship, they look outside the relationship for that intimacy. Spicing things up in the bedroom or just in the romance department can help if you feel sexually unfulfilled in a relationship.
There is a common myth that if someone isn’t getting sex from their relationship, it’s
okay for them to look for it somewhere else. Women usually find themselves on the short end of the stick with this one. Unfortunately, people who find themselves dependent (financially, emotionally) on their partners either have sex as a way to keep them or don’t have sex with them but then blame themselves when their partner cheats. If sex is used as a weapon in a relationship, things can become quite destructive and unhealthy.
Because they can get away with it
Some people are just narcissists who only care about themselves and prey on those they think they can take advantage of. Cheating
for them is a simple case of ‘if I can get away with, I’ll do it’ and very little thought is given to the person being cheating on.
As the person doing the
cheating, It’s important to realise that whatever your reasons for cheating you are still betraying trust, misleading and hurting someone. These are not useful qualities for a healthy relationship. Work out why you are cheating, and if you aren’t happy in the relationship ask your partner for a break. If it’s about you,
maybe it’s time to do so some introspection.
If you’re the person who has been cheated on,
it might be tempting to blame yourself for what has happened.. You might also feel very angry. These are all normal responses. As these intense emotions calm down, have a careful think about your relationship and what led your partner to cheat. Just remember that you can’t be held responsible for another
person’s decision to cheat.
