What makes A married person cheat?

Question

Why are you married if you are going to cheat I need to know this.

Answer 1

This person is immature and has no integrity. Their thought process doesn't go far enough not see the consequenses of their actions. They are selfish. Running from their problems never solves anything, it just adds more problems and destroys lives. They test this out and learn the hard way. Always running back home expecting to be welcomed. Its very sad. I don't think any one goes into a marriage knowing they will cheat, its just they did not know themselves enough to know they were not ready to get married.

Answer 2

I was formerly married and had opportunities to cheat on my ex-wife. But I didn't. In my view, I did not want to give my ex any opportunity to stand before the divorce judge and say I was unfaithful, had committed adultery, and those things. Three months before I applied for divorce, I knew I would be leaving my ex. I felt better to come out of divorce court with my integrity intact than to have had an affair and compromise my integrity. That, and I wanted to share with people later that I was a person of integrity and could be trusted. Sometimes in life, it's easy to do something and blame somethng else for the reason in doing it. But I am thankful I didn't go through with having an affair :)

What makes a married person cheat? Lack of integrity and character.

Answer 3

There are a million reasons to Cheat! None of them are ligit!! I had 1 incounter in my life and as God as my witness it will never happen again no matter what!!! My wife was out all night many nights, hanging out in bars with other men and so forth, said nothing was going on, but I knew better after some detective work, So I returned the favor, only to have guilt rid me to this day. We have divorced and we get along now, but I can never forgive myself for that night. I have a girlfriend now and at this moment the ground is very unstable, but I wouldn't concider it no matter how bad it got, I would be well out of a relationship before taking on another woman. But bottom line, if cheating happens whether it be you or your other half, time to move on, not worth the heartache.

Answer 4

From what i know of different people ive seen cheat and been told afterwards why etc.... its usually for a man its about the need of a quest, to conquer, something new.. and exciting.. for women its usually an emotional need thats being neglected by her husband..

More men will do a one night stands..or see someone based on just a sexual relationship and not actual feelings, where a woman that cheats usually its more of an affair with feelings involved..

Either way it is a lack of morals and values on both parts.. a character flaw ..

Answer 5

The answer I once read to this that makes the most sense is that people cheat because they want to re-write the script of their lives. Something is making them dissatisfied with the way things are going, and they want to introduce a new plot development, a new character, a new direction for their script. Sort of points up the idea that if you want to keep someone from cheating, both partners have to address the underlying issues, not the surface details, or else the cheating will just happen again. Good luck.

Answer 6

Unhappy with themselves or partner, sex, friendship, companionship, abusive relationships at home (emotionally and physically,) mid-life crisis, stress, fallen out of love, in love with someone else, ego boost, variety, something to look foward to, start over their life with someone else. There are a million reasons why people cheat, granted most are not very good ones, but sometimes needs are not met with the current spouse. Then again you have your natural born cheating that have no reason at all.

Answer 7

I have been divorced. My ex-husband cheated on me.

People cheat because they are unsatified, can't communicate theirs needs, and want more than one person.

I do agree. If you are going to cheat, you shouldn't even be married - and much less - don't bother being in a relationship.

Answer 8

because they are stupid.they don't know how to deal with real situation in marriages. so therefore they run rather than deal with what really going on .they just don't know how solve problems and then they try to throw all the blame on you .and make you out to be the bad person.coming up with all kinds of excuses to why they cheat on their spouses when truth need to be told they just can't handle the responsibilities of being married.

Answer 9

A total lack of understanding of what it means to be a man,a husband and a father.Let us not forget no self discipline only animals succumb to their urges.We as homosapiens are suppose to be on a higher order and should use our mental instead of relying on primal lust to try to satisfy our physical needs.This is from a male perspective but the same applies to women.

Answer 10

I dont think that a person enters a marraige with the thought of cheating.I think that infidelity works it way into a seemingly happy marraige because of factors such as feeling neglected...not being able to honestly state ones feelings...being taken for granted..along with sexual needs not being met.Marraige is a lot of work,but usually worth it.
