Why do people cheat?

Answer 1

Why not?

Answer 2

People cheat for different reasons. Regardless of what we like to believe, there's no genetic disease that causes people to cheat and can be identified as a clear reason. People cheat because the current relationship is tired out and they no longer feel satisfied where they are. They cheat because they like to feel powerful knowing they can be desired by more than one person. They cheat because they're horny and have poor judgement and give into temptation. But even though it could be all of these reasons or one or even none, you have to remember that everyone that cheats does it because they're the coward. If you've been cheated on, you aren't alone even if you feel like you are! It happens to the best of us! Just tell yourself you're better than that (because you ARE) and brush yourself off. There's tons more adoring candidates where that one came from!

Answer 3

there are so many reason why people cheat. one is that some people love to have more than one opponent. then there are some that sees the one they want in their life and keep them to their self to make sure that they have them then they go and be with the ones that are like them no commitment.then there are some that if you let them than they will but if you stand up to them and let them know that you are not going to take the things that they are doing to you then they will stop doing the things. but you must show them that you are not playing about the situation even if it takes you moving away from them to prove it, then they will either do two things stop cheating are leave you and if they leave you then that mean that you didnt need them in the first place. another reason is that peoples don't love the way they use to because love wouldn't allow you to hurt people.

Answer 4

Normally people cheat when there is some kind of problem in the relationship. It could be sex (not getting the kind they want or as often) or it could be lack of support and understanding. Women normally cheat due to lack of compassion and understanding from their man. they have a guy "friend" who listens and hangs on their every word and sex is naturally a product of that "friendship". Guys usually cheat for sex. Either way, cheating is a symptom of a problem...not the problem.

Answer 5

People cheat for various reasons. Most often I have found that the person may be insecure in the relationship and are afraid to tell you without hurting you so cheat. Of course then when you find out about it, that hurts more!

Answer 6

Sometimes the only way to pass a test. Okay, how about a real test in life. They offered, I turned it down. Better to have a promise than the real thing, more to study about that way. Most people that I know doing a lot of cheating are doing it for the excitement.

Answer 7

Not all people cheat and not in everything. It depends on what you mean, but since you've put this in the Singles & Dating category I suppose you mean cheating in relationships.
It does seem that many people cheat, but not all do (like me) and if you haven't then you should be proud of yourself for having morals and values. Hang in there! You don't need to be with anyone who cheats anyways.

Answer 8

I look at it this way. How many animals out there are monogamous? We are animals right! So why are we expected to marry, live and then die with only one partner?

Society and religion train us to think that we should behave a certain way. Is this how we were created, perhaps not, are we forcing some kind of behaviour that's against our natural instincts. I don't know.

By the way I have never cheated on my wife, not physically anyway, but my mind does wander.

Answer 9

I think people cheat because they fell they have something missing in their relationship. I think they fell than can find what is missing somewhere else. Most though cheap because they like the excitement of running around secretively. At least thats what a friend of mine told me when she cheated. LOL

Answer 10

that is a good question! they don't have anything else to do then to hurt other people, because in the end that's all cheating does to the one who is cheated on. It's pretty sad

Answer 11

Because they love the attention from multiple people. I've never cheated on my boyfriend, but have had plenty of opportunities. I love flirting, but I also love my boyfriend very much, and I tend to forget that sometimes when there are other men who find me attractive. To put it simply its a temporary confidence boost. I hope that something like this did not happen to you, but if it did, I am sorry. People are dumb and need to feel more comfortable in their skin and decisive about what their real intentions are in a relationship!
