5 Common Reasons Why People Cheat

 Whether you’re the one being cheated on, or the one doing the cheating, you will always want to know why. Although it's fairly easy to hate a cheater and move on, there are real explanations for this to happen. I’m here to give you 5 reasons why people cheat on their partners.



Opportunity
It's pretty simple if you think about it. Someone has proposed an opportunity, and they take it. Which is good news for those of you who think your partner intended on hurting you. With opportunity, things just happen. This was found to be the main reason people cheat, by a psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience, Isadora Alman, M.F.T.  Perhaps the person wasn't actually looking to cheat. Personally, I believe, if someone truly loves you, it outweighs the opportunity.


They want to breakup
Breaking up with someone can be very hard. And for those who can’t seem to do it, there is one way to grantee a breakup. Cheating. While they are trying to protect you from getting hurt by breaking up with you, they are still hurting you from cheating. Most of us would rather be broken up with, am I right?


 Lack of attention
Cheating isn't always about hurting the other person. It may be a last resort to get their attention. Although it may be a wake-up call, it is not always the best idea. If you find yourself in this situation, try communicating with your partner, cheating is never the answer.

 “According to their numbers, 63 percent of females said cheating made them feel more alive; 39 percent said it helped them regain their confidence . . . 43 percent of female cheaters had an affair to have the feeling of butterflies again.” (The Complicated Reasons Why Some People Cheat)



 Lack of emotional connection
Feeling unwanted or not cared for can lead someone to cheat. By cheating, they fill that void and feel worthy again. Even though they are feeling cared for by someone that is not their partner, it still satisfies them. Things like this may not always be your fault, but maybe a lack of emotional connection on their side from other things like fear of commitment. The person is wanting an emotional connection with someone, and may not be getting that in your relationship.

 “lack of love is a powerful motivation — it’s definitely one of the stronger ones.” (Selterman, TodayShow)


This is why it is necessary to always check on your significant others, even if everything seems fine to you. All your partner needs is love, support, and understanding.


Fear of commitment
Once in a while, affairs happen now and again when you may expect individuals would be the most confident in their relationship, for example, subsequent to getting ready for marriage or when somebody is pregnant. Stresses over duty can be very disrupting. At times, individuals can undermine what they have, deliberately or unwittingly in order to ignore their emotions. Fear of commitment can come from parents, family members, or past relationships. For the cheater, having two lovers can help them avoid the fear of commitment they face.



There are numerous reasons you may have wound up reading this post. However, recall, there is constantly a response for a cheater other than them "simply being a terrible individual." I trust you found the data you required or discovered data you didn't know before! Continuously keep in contact with your partner and prevent these things from occurring.


Best wishes,
Kayla

Does love distract you from your goals?

-
When falling in love with someone, most people actually go into the relationship with very high hopes of it working out completely with you and the other person falling in love forever and getting married to live a long, happy life together. But I don't think people understand that you can't go into a, hopefully long-lasting, relationship blinded by all of the love and forget about everything else happening around you.  This plays into the question, "Is love a distraction from your goals." This question is a very debatable topic that has been around for a long time with many people wondering if it does. Yes, you can go into a relationship with the thought that you and your spouse are in love and that he/she is fun but you can't forget about keeping the serious driven, focused and talented respect that you had.  Relationships have their own goals but you can't forget about your own personal goals  while keeping up with your relationship goals.
