What causes infidelity in marriages?

Answer 1

as a woman i can say sometime we encourage infedelity by changing our behaviour after getting married,after we get husband we relax and we dont want to dress sexy the way we used to when we were dating ,when the man need some romantic time we give them excuse about the baby and work and so many reason and which create a gap and cause infidelity in our marriages,believe me stay young and sexy and you will not experience this problem

Answer 2

nothing bar an act of infidelity causes infidelity. There are may different reasons that people are unfaithful but youre working off a 'to treat the problem remove the cause theory' and in my humble opinion the 'cause' to be removed is our preconditioned ideas,morals and doctrines surrounding fidelity/infidelity that we have drummed into us through our lives. This causes a knock on effect of raising our standards and expectations to a level that cannot be reasonably sustained by all as we are all make from different moulds. Its like saying that just because someone believes in one god or faith that they should expect all to share the same belief and that no other belief will be tolerated. People should be able to have their own beliefs in whatever but appreciate the diversity of life on this earth and then things like infidelity wouldnt be such a huge issue.Maybe if things werent such a big issue people would naturally be more faithful...who knows...marriage is a series of expectations and unspoken/spoken rules and to be unfaithful is to flout those rules so if the rules werent there you couldnt flout them and wheres the fun in that?lol

Answer 3

Marriage causes infidelity in marriage. No one who is married really wants to be married.

Although some people depend on their spouse as a provider, they still have a natural desire to be laid by someone new and exciting.

Its called living your life.

Answer 4

Our needs not being met. We are fragile creatures. We tend to get a little way into our marriage then stop doing all the things we did before, the things that attracted our partners to us. Like giving up football. Or listening to you all night even though you had to be at work the next morning. Or spending all day at a boring cricket match. Why should we want to be married if our needs aren't met? My husband has cheated and I've had to learn about my part in it. Check this link, it explains better

Answer 5

Mostly boredom! People get tired of each other and start looking
at others. Then they start talking and flirting. That starts a whole series of issues that could easily lead to infidelity. That coupled with the fact that it is soooo easy to find someone else who wants to f* *k. Better work hard at that relationship.

Answer 6

I would say a lack of intimacy on either couples part. although i firmally beleive that as a husband its my responsibility to initiate intimacy with my mate. If you dont use it your going to lose it. another one is the same old routine. we are so caught up in our work and other matters that we neglect the one we love. we forget what that first date or kiss was like when we were dating. sometimes its just the little things. that initiate intimacy there are different ways to let you spouse/mate know that you love them. you make love to them when you help them with the kids, when you do the dishes help with the house work these are just little things that add up to bigger things when she gets home from work tired or school. The other thing is accepting each other for who we are. Its all about team work. the words were for better or for worse, infidelity not only hurts your mate but it ruins a complete family unit the children suffer for our own selfhishness.

Answer 7

Simply, when one partner no longer loves and respects the other the same in the way that they should.
Everything else that's often considered a reason/s to try and justify it or give some kind of explanation, as to why, is just excuses.
If you really love your husband/wife you would NEVER do this because real love for your partner is the emotion that guards against this from happening in the first place.

Answer 8

The cause is different in each marriage, but I think communication is part of the problem. If someone needs to go elsewhere to find something that was missing in the relationship, then why was that missing something not talked about? Alot of the time it is, but one side was not willing to hear what was being said. Whatever the problem, being sexy, desire, not enough sex, feeling important or fetishes, it can be handeled better if there is communication. Who knows, sometimes when there is communication, wonderfull bonds develope because of it!

Answer 9

Complacency - as we grow old we some times take each other for granted - we may be older but the fire is still burning inside. The need for love and affection never dies and can be a cause for looking else where if its not there in the relationship. It can be good too for putting the spark back into your marriage.... that i can confirm x

Answer 10

There are alot of answers to your question, but I think it's different for men and women. Men stray when they're bored and have temptation around. They're also more into the physical side of a partner. Women stray when they feel ignored and are not made to feel special. They tend to get into affairs for emotional reasons, rather than physical ones. At least that's my opinion.
