Cheating - why?

Question

What do you think the main reasons are for someone cheating in a relationship? Serious answers only please

Answer 1

Sexual staleness of the current relationship
The excitement and frisson of doing something daring
The thought that everyone else is anyway
Alcohol

Answer 2

Its usually emotional or sexual needs that
are unfulfilled. He probably thought you
couldn't understand his need for sex and
thought that maybe you would have
thought him to be too slutty therefore
to not upset your relationship he decides
to hav sex with someone else. Thus u
see it as cheating, when he is actually
trying to build his ego enough to have
sex with you. Its a classic case of low
self esteem. If you support him to have
sex with others, soon he will have the
guts enuff to ask you for sex, in which
you must kindly and quickly accept the
offer to keep him in your relationship
together. The more he sees that
sex isn't wrong, the less likely he
is to cheat on you. you have
to develop his self esteem before
you too can have a stable relationship.
he might also have had bad
relationships in the past that
were too much abstinence based
and made him too scared to
share his sexual side with any girl.
Its damage control that needs repair.
you provide the medicine he needs,
so be VERY SUPPORTIVE not
destructive. His ego is fragile,
so don't break him. Show him
that sex with you, his girl is a good thing
not a bad thing to be punished by.
once he realizes its ok to have
normal sex, he will slowly build
trust with you and be a better boyfriend.
goodluck.
alot of this is psychology

2 main reasons.The first is some people have no sense of committment and are only intrested in pleasing their sexual desires no matter who they hurt or what they stand to lose.The next is some people become unhappy in a relationship and start looking for someone else.Too many times people see someone they think is "hot" ,fall in "love" and fantasize about them enter into a sexual relationship just to find out once the old hormones have settled down they cant stand the person outside the bed room.Sometimes one person tries to make the other fullfill all their fantasies, other times both parties do this to each other and neither is willing to give in or compromise in the elast and threaten divorce as a way of "controlling" the other into doing what they want.This only ends up ending the relationship.When one person is treating the other badly, chances are that someone else has an eye on the mistreated one and theyre ready and waiting for that poor mistreated soul to see the light and give them a "chance".So men and women need to think about how they treat one another in a relationship.

Answer 4

some guys n gals can't help themselves n the thrill of being in various short term relationships excites them..

other reasons could be there is something wrong or missing in the relationship in the first place for them to fulfil it outside. or over a period people start taking each other for granted. the same passion n love n excitement has died down that attracted them to each other...
bored not happy or content..hence cheating!

Answer 5

I guess it would be when you feel trapped in a relationship, when there is no love, & that you feel you can't get out of it(when children are involved for example).

Personally, I would rather leave my partner than cheat on her. I simply couldn't cheat.

Answer 6

Men who cheated and slept around a lot had more kids.

Women who slept around with men of better genes than their usual partner had 'better' kids.

Thus cheating was selected for by evolution, and is now instinct.

Answer 7

Wanting a way out of a relationship but not being strong enough to say its over

Answer 8

i think its because people cant cope with the relationship that they already have or they are not in love with that person anymore and because they cant tell that person they dont want to be with them anymore kind of makes cheating happen.

Answer 9

Selfishness is the real reason but to justify it you blame some
one else.You are only thinking of yourself and how much fun you are having,

Answer 10

i am not endorsing the act of cheating.. but

-i guess it's perhaps the loss of feellings and chemistry they once had,
-disatisfaction towards their partner where they could find something on others they could'nt on their partner,
-getting bored of their routine. (its good to go for a short trip out occasionally)
-major change of attitude of their partner (she/he is not the one they first meet and loved anymore)
-not much freedom being given by their partner
-loves him/her no more...

i guess this is it
