Why Do People Cheat?

They think morals are a matter of what they like, agree with, want, can justify, instead of realizing that morals are set by God.

Human nature. The human nature is to do what you think you can reasonably expect to get by with or what you feel wont cost you more then you are willing to pay or give up. Humans often use the way they feel or the things others do toward them as a justification to do what they themselves wish to do. Many people will never stop to question just how they might be causing much of the way they are treated or viewed by others or if that treatment or view might be justified.

Because people are selfish and only care about themselves, what they want, need, desire, or care about in many cases.

Many people live as much in fantasy world as they do the real world. They have the idea that a person will be or act this way. They have the idea that a plan will work that way. In their fantasy, they decide that another person will be just exactly what they want, as they wish and so forth. One must ask themselves, just how many times in life have things worked or gone as you thought they would or as you imagined they would. Frankly, when they have actually been pretty close to what you hoped or imagined, it was inpart because you put a lot of work or effort into making it be that way, more then just hoping or wishing it would be.

People will consider almost anything, no matter how wrong or immoral or perverted as being acceptable or alright. There isnt much cost, embarrassment, etc., for anything that people do anymore, so we in a way encourage them to be bad or to do wrong. We dont look down on people, judge them or see them as bad anymore, so the encouragement or sense of entitlement to do as you wish is greater and more widely believed and subscribed to.

Another possible reason is that the person who is cheating has basically given up. They are married to someone whom they have tried to communicate needs and desires, wishes, thoughts and so forth with, but the mate doesnt seem to pay attention or care. So, after a while, the cheater finds another outlet or way of getting the love, affection, that they need. They figure that the person they have at home doesnt give a damn how they feel or what they need or what they promised, so why should they continue to do so? Now, dont get me wrong, cheating is cheating and it is wrong no matter what. But you also have to realize that in many cases, the reason a person got married was in large part because they wanted regular and steady sex. When they dont get that at home, they will find it elsewhere.

Warning to spouses. In the Bible, it plainly says that your body belongs to your spouse and that you are not to deny your spouse except for the agreed upon time period. If a person is withholding, God cautions them that they are possibly contributing to the spouse being tempted. God also warns those who withhold that if the mate cheats for this reason, he will hold the person who is withholding responsible to a point, for the adultery, because they were not holding up their end of the bargain either. I would also like to add that I have come to realize that the part about your body belonging to your spouse does include not just sexual organs, but the whole body. That means that we should help, assist one another with our body. But, dont misunderstand. God clearly pointed out that your mate has a right to have sex with you regularly, he said nothing about not helping to clean house or change the oil as a reason for a spouse to be tempted.

People dont consider that there will be a judgement day and that we have to account for what we did and what we failed to do in life, and that is compared to what Gods standards are. People forget that, disavow that, reject that or simply decide they dont care, so they will do any number of bad or immoral things to include cheating.

A relationship is more then just physical for some it can be emotional as well. The small things not done or said like "I Love You" its funny how those 3 little words can mean so much. The feeling of being used and taken advantage of there are alot of reasons besides the physical aspects of a relationship for cheating and that's why there are so many divorces.

When each person grows apart from the marriage or relationship. Working different shifts, difference interest more alone time than couple time. Lack of communication, lack of respect for each other. refusal to see problems with the relationship and refusing to get help. Control/power issues between the couple. All contribute to possible cheating. We all want the dream of having that one person in our life that will be there. But when needs are not met then it is ripe for possible cheating to happen.

I would say most people that cheat aren't even cheating for the sex, that is an end result. They start cheating because of positive attention, feeling good about themselves, no life issues to deal with with the other person, no past. They don't have to deal with broken faucets and grass mowing and nagging with the "other" person. I'm not saying it is right and definitely don't condone cheating; you just asked for other reasons people do it. I would never....my husband makes me feel great and I make him feel great!

A skanky lowlife homewrecker of a person who has no morals that is usually found at the spouse's job could cause cheating. This person is basically the devil's helper and he/she tempts the spouse into thinking they would rather be with them instead of their spouse and family. Even the most decent spouse could fall prey to this person. So, whether sex is good, ok or bad with their spouse; it won't matter because the devil has gotten a hold of them. The good news is good does win out over evil but the problem is sometimes it takes awhile to figure that out and for some it is too late when they do.

Any spouse cheats only if they don't have integrity and know how to keep their commitments. There is nothing that justifies one going outside the agreement of both partners in the marriage.

People cheat due to the following...1) lack of boundaries in a relationship 2) lack of respect for their partner, themselves and the relationship and 3) lack of self control. People do not cheat based on another persons behavior. No one, regardless of what they do, can make another have sex with someone outside of that relationship nor can they force another to develop a strong emotional connection. Cheating not only pertains to sexual contact but also pertains to an emotional attachment which is romantic in nature.

Oftentimes it begins with a deep friendship that turns into an emotional affair, which escalates gradually into something physical.
