Cheating is not a caught in the moment thing if you are really into your significant other, you miss them when you are not with them, you don’t look for a way to hurt or deceive them.

Here are some situations that make people cheat:

1.Bored
I’d say this is the most common reason that people cheat. It’s tough to keep that edge throughout a relationship. Things start off grand and then level off and then you both realize that it’s still real life. When you meet someone else, that inaugural excitement of a new relationship kicks back in.

2. Dependence
At first glance, cheating seems like independent behavior. It could be interpreted as doing what you want, when you want. But I would argue that cheating is a dependent behavior. A cheater is dependent because they are not strong enough to break up with their significant other in order to get with the new person.

3. Confusion
Sometimes life or a particular situation can get to you. When the perfect storm of confusion is going on in your head, you make mistakes.

4. Because They Let You
If any girl ever cheated on me, I’d break up with her immediately. Forgiving a cheater is putting up with it, and starts a vicious cycle. That person who cheated may lose respect for you and might continue to cheat-because they know they can get away with it, because you’ll continue to take them back.

Have you ever cheated on your partner? If you answered yes, why did you do it?

5. Nurturing
If someone is mistreating you, then your first instinct is to get away from him or her. But sometimes it’s not that simple-maybe you are raising kids together. If you feel trapped in a bad relationship, it’s only natural that you will run to the open arms of a person who treats you well.

6. Revenge
This is quite simple- an eye for an eye. Cheat on them if they cheat on you. If they continuously hurt you or abuse you in some way, you do it to get them back.

7. Confirmation of Attractiveness
Sometimes when you’re in a long relationship, or if your significant other is taking you for granted, you begin to wonder if you’re still attractive. Perhaps, because you were out on the dating circuit, you felt more attractive when you were single. If you have an affair, you’ve proven that a new person can be attracted to you.

8. The Thrill
Some people just enjoy the thrill of cheating: running around secretly, risking getting caught, and creating thrilling moments with a forbidden romance.

9. They Don’t Consider It Cheating, Even Though You Might
Relationships have that grey area, usually right before you become exclusive. He thinks date #4 is when you’re “together,” and you think date #2 is when you’re “together.” If you haven’t talked about exclusivity, someone may think they are well within their rights to see other people, even though the other person in the relationship may not.

    Except for number 4(because they let you)i dont think any of these are a good enough reason to cheat,because if your relation is lacking something so important that you would engage in another to balance it out,or is failing for more than one of these reasons’ than you should call it of safely and keep a friend instead of being an a*****e and getting caught and having to carry around the title of cheater.

    The main reason people cheat, cuz something is lacking/missing in the relationship.. So he or she seeks it else where. If they just talked to their partner about what is lacking/missing they could work it out and if that doesn’t work they could end the relationship instead of cheating on one another

    I think people cheat because they are selfish. When you feel like you can juggle two lovers that gives you a adrenaline rush. If something is lacking in the relationship talking turns me on because your letting me know you care enough to talk to me then to go out and find what Im not providing.

    I think u cheat cause u can. There’s a reason for everything u do in life. If u can live with yourself after u cheated or even considered it then u will cheat. U live once so u take every chance to do whats right at the moment or just the right thing period. Theres nothing lackin that makes u cheat its your choice to either cheat or bring your special up to speed. being labeled a cheater doesnt chnage the course of your life u still gotta live your life and get it how u can.(not just sex). so in the end make the choice that fits your life and be big enough to deal with the consquences.

    Well I have cheated in all of my relationships, except for my most recent one. But the messed up part is that he thinks that I am cheating now and that hurts. The reasons that I cheated varied, from being mad at my man at the time, and getting solace somewhere else, to it just being about the chase and just seeing if I can get away with it. To simply but I was bored, and I think that in this relationship he knows that I get bored and is scared of that so he thinks I cheat. I am also an emotional cheater. I end up cheating with someone who i have an emotional connection with. I have never been caught though but my previous lovers have been suspicious, but i usually leave and go be with the person I cheat with. I just don’t know if I can be faithful, i try to be but then I see something that looks better and I want it, and i usually get it. I’m hoping that I can stay faithful in this relationship, because I know that if he catches me it would be over, and I dont want that.

    I feel people cheat for selfish reasons. The fact of the matter is that when you know that you love someone, you need to stick to the relationship through thick and thin. If you can’t do that then just say so and don’t hurt the person. Another problem is that some people in relationships get so dependent on getting attention from the person they are with that they want the person to drop all that they have going on in their life. I find that to be unrealistic for a person to expect someone to stop doing what they have to do to survive just to give attention to someone. I have always been confused about that because we all know that it’s frowned upon to not be working towards goals but when in relationships, that tends to become less important because people want attention. To end my comment I have to say that if you are going to cheat on someone because you don’t feel your needs aren’t being met, you are nothing but selfish and greedy and don’t deserve for love to be in your life. May sound harsh but I have to say it.
