Answer 2

Wow...what a good question! Cheating is the number one thing humans do! Although this doesn't apply to everyone here are some of the reasons I believe.
1. We will call these people the LONERS! People get into these long relationships and become unhappy. They have invested too much time to leave so they stay only they cheat to fill the unhappiness.
2. We will call these people the EYES! Some people are all about the physical. These are the people that watch pornos and strip clubs.
3. We will call these people the Cry Babies. These people have been hurt so much that they in return want to hurt others.
4. We will call these people the SHEEP! These are the people that are followers and allow themselves to get in vulnerable situations. THey are pressured by the opposite sex or a friend.
5. We will call these people the DOGS! These are the people who have every intention of hurting who ever they are with.

I'm sure there are more reasons, but this is a vast majority!

Answer 3

I find alot of times they marry not realizing that somethings they wanted in the marriage isn't there and never was kind of like blind. I feel if there is love of the heart everything will find a way of working out but, some just knew it was a mistake and then go trying to find someone to fill that void that the spouse can;t fullfill don't mean they want to hurt the other person but it happens. I think people need to look at marriage and know the other person very well before they make a lifetime commitment then would be less cheating and more happiness in this world for them and any children they may have.

Answer 4

There are different reasons for people to cheat. Some swear they love their partner, but they need something the partner isn't giving them...Others have addictions and should never be in a relationship in the first place...Then there are those you think they can have their cake and eat it to...Some like the challenge, the thrill of the chase...You see if they have someone, they have them, the thrill is gone...Keeping the relationship going takes some work on both parts and the willingness to commit to making there life together work...Just know, not all cheat, those who do shouldn't be with someone, they should just play, if not the other person in this pays a big price and its not fair....

Answer 5

Some people cheat because they are rotten human beings who only care about themselves, and then there are the people who cheat because something major is lacking in their lives, like a husband constantly criticizing his wife, etc, the list can be very long, but women also cheat because the husband ignores her wants and needs, and the same reason for men, women often think after their married they don't have to treat their man with love and kindness, or they say they are too busy too tired, too many excuses can make a man wander and the woman is the only one to blame

Answer 6

Good question. They are immature, self-centered, selfish, fearful and self consumed people. The way I look at it when I got cheated on, several times by the men in my life, was I needed to be alone for awhile and treat myself well and look at why I chose these kind of people (not that it was my fault that they did what they did) then Moved on to someone that truly loves me and respects me for me who I am. I found a great gut that I have been with for 3 years now. I still have issues with the whole idea of "marriage" but I let it be and each situation that comes up and I start to feel we might not get thru we do because we are both available and willing to talk about it honestly and work thru it. Hope that helps a little. Good Luck.

Answer 7

They obviously don't care about their partners enough to express their wants and needs. Communication is a big part in relationships. Most partners that can communicate these wants and needs are much more happier therefore they don't have the need to cheat. Some people also think the grass is greener on the other side so they "test the waters".

Answer 8

all men and women don't cheat. and the ones that do cheat may not be satisfied with the partner they have. or they may want to stay with the partner they have and also have another partner or partners.some people have open relationships which may work well for them. i think if 2 people commit to each other that they shouldn't cheat. if 2 people are totally honest and open in their relationship then they can talk to each other if they are not happy anymore.thats the mature way of doing it.and the least hurtfull way. be open and honest right from the start. good luck in your future love or loves

Answer 9

there are a few different reasons for people cheating on their spouses. The male of the female is not being pleased during intercourse,they are only together because of children, or it could be the simple fact that one or both have an over active sex drive and one partner just isn't enough for them.Any way you look at it. It is wrong to cheat on your partner.If they dint please you. You need to move or vice versa. If they are only together because of children. It hurts the children more by staying together. If it is an over active sex drive they should let their partner know in the beginning so they can decide if they can handle it. The person also needs to realize it and decide if they can have only one person to satisfy them.

Answer 10

I'm not sure maybe because some people just don't want to be with only one person.But I know how it feels to be cheated on and it sucks about if this is or has happened to you don't give up some men/women don't cheat I know that to you will find the right person one day

Answer 11

If you ask the person that cheated they will probably tell you that they honestly don't know....they weren't unhappy, their marriage was good. I know that is not always the case but alot of times it is. I honestly think that my husbands mind was taken over by pod people......he was not the man I knew or married.....as soon as he ended it with the bi*%h it was like he was returned to him self. Almost overnight my husband was back......maybe the real question should be When these other scumbags go after married people do they have something that alters our spouses mind? I know my answer sounds stupid but living with this was like someone put another person in my husbands body.......and when he "came back" he had no clues as to why he did what he did.
