why do people cheat?

Answer 1

I think because of the thrill and excitement.

Answer 2

Some people wouldn't call it cheating. I say this because when a relationship between two people is DEAD even if its been over 20 years its time to move on. God knows the HEART but man passes judgement while casting stones. Don't be a stone thrower. Sometimes TRUE Love comes later after we make a mistake of being with the person we NEVER should of been with in the first place. Right?

Answer 3

People cheat simply cos its possible to cheat. They get tired of being with one person all the time or are bored and the only way they know to spark up themselves is to cheat. Some just drift into it & others make it a conscious decision.

Whichever one it is, its cos deep within that person that initially felt so good to them no longer 'completes' them & some cos that person never completed them in them in the first place & had their own agenda or bein in the relationship.

So, they need some1 else to spark them up. Some after the 'spark' will go back to their lives whilst others may decide that 'spark' is what they now need in their lives...permanently!

Answer 4

People who have addictions cheat. It can be to sex, drugs, or the thrill of a new person. Even the thrill of getting caught cheating. The only person who loses in the end is the cheater. It's sad but this happens alot.

Answer 5

I wish i knew the answer to that question. I have never cheated. If i don't want to be with the guy i am with, i simply tell him that i am sorry, but i just don't think it will work out. than i might date someone Else. People who cheat wants their cake and eat it to.

Answer 6

Some people are constantly searching for 'happiness' and justify cheating as a means of attaining it. They are never satisfied and feel as though cheating will provide them with what they are lacking in their lives. It's pathetic, unforgivable, and too common today to be classified as *sin*.

Answer 7

there are lots of reasons why people cheat. some do because they want to get caught. they want to draw attention to the fact that they are being ignored, or are unhappy in some way. some do it because they have low self esteem and don't know how to say no to someone elses advances when they are already taken. some do it out of spite...just to hurt someone that has hurt them in some way. none of these reasons are right.....but many feel that they are justified in what they are doing. myself included when i did it to my husband. now i am paying the price....it is hard to turn back the clock when you have made such a horrible mistake

Answer 8

I don't know. I can only guess it's because they can. They obviously don't have what it takes to be in a monogamous relationship, so maybe because they are with the wrong person. Some people are just jerks and never had any intention of being faithful...men and women alike...I can only assume it's because they are shallow and self centered and really dont have much depth of character.

Answer 9

Because everybody is different. Some know how to love, some don't know but know how to be respecful, some know what's the best for them, some just make the wrong desicions and cheat. Everybody is different
