#1
– Needs
If
cheating reasons could be classified, needs would probably be the most
unpleasant one. It leaves both the cheated and the cheater feeling unhappy and
guilty. It usually happens when one of the partners, in most cases men, have a
higher sexual urge than the other. There are many reasons that can influence
sex life of a couple and so can indirectly lead one of them to cheat and by
statistics, those are usually men: excessive devotion to work, lack of
interest, even illness. They must be carefully and openly discussed. Adultery
out of needs can be prevented by mutual understanding and willingness to work
on a relationship.
#2 – Revenge
For most
men, especially immature ones, revenge is a very common reason for cheating. It
is much easier to “pay it back” than deal with the situation, have an open
discussion and maybe even come to the point of losing a partner. This is
especially typical for younger men who have never been in such situation before
or for those that are not really good with controlling their emotions.
#3 – Ego
Sexual
performance has always been important to men, especially when it comes to
comparing to other men. So, in the period when they feel insecure about their
abilities, men can start trying to prove themselves, and others, that they
still have very active sex life. This is a common reason for men who are
getting mature and need some time to deal with changes in their lives.
#4 – Opportunity
This is a
reason that is usually the most painful for women because it is the most
difficult to understand. Everything is going really well, a couple is perfectly
happy and then he suddenly cheats with some woman he barely knows just because
he had the chance. The obvious reason was opportunity but the fact is that
there were many sub-reasons that muted the alarm bell: personal
characteristics, current relations between partners, confidence, alcohol or
upbringing and many other known and unknown reasons.
#5 – Unhappiness
When a
relationship is still at the beginning, everything seems perfect – like the sea
of happiness is never going to dry up. But sometimes, intentionally or not,
people change, and their partners can end up wondering if the person that they
have married was really the right choice. Men who are not happy in their
relationships and have no courage to break up start cheating with an excuse
that, that way both of the partners are satisfied. Of course, since that is not
true the whole situation ends up being more painful.
#6 – Arrogance
We can all
agree that cheating is never socially approved, even though some men among
their so-called friends can get the thumbs up. Interestingly, there are
situations when even they find it repulsive. The reason for that is arrogance.
That happens when a men cheats because he can, because he is male, because he
can bet that his wife will never find out. If you ever notice a man like this,
just run, run like the wind!
