Why do people cheat?
Now there’s a question! Why would someone who claims to love another person knowingly go out and cheat on them?
I suppose there is a variety of reasons. Some people feel that sex is just sex and that for them to sleep with someone other than their partner it is not cheating. Some just believe that this is acceptable and unfortunately if you are someone who doesn’t feel the same then it is never going to work.
For others there is the claim of a supposed ‘sex-addiction’! They just can’t help themselves when it comes to saying ‘no’ to sex. Many believe this is not a real addiction and is used as a ‘get out clause’ when people are repeatedly caught cheating.
On the other hand there is the case of cheating when someone is not happy in a relationship. This is no excuse for cheating – if you are not happy in your relationship then you need to talk and if you feel the need to cheat then it perhaps time to do the honourable thing and leave the relationship before someone is hurt more than is necessary.
People have different opinions as to what is classed as cheating and this is something that you should talk about with your partner. Some people see a kiss as harmless whereas many see this as just as big a betrayal as having sex with someone.
Sometimes when people are cheating it is actually NOT about the sex but about the chase and the thrill. Maybe it is possible that they are still in love with their partner but they find the relationship stale and lacking any excitement.
The majority of couples do think that being faithful is part and parcel of a relationship and are contented to stay monogomous and most believe that if one person is not prepared to stay faithful then they are not happy with that person and I tend to agree with this.
People need to talk and if one partner can knowingly enter into a sexual relationship with someone other than their partner then it shows a lack of respect for not just the person they are with but for their relationship.
And this also begs the question – will they do it again?
