Why do people cheat in relationships??


Because women have the vote, and constantly mess their man up.

It's quite alarming a rate at which people cheat in relationships. A friend of mine was complaining how her boyfriend was playing with her close friend even while he was with her. When confronted, he denied at first but later admitted that he did such because she wasn't giving him enough attention. Is a relationship supposed to be flexible to the point where either participant is free to "look outside" while in because they are not married? What do you guys think?

Now a days it is common to see cheat in relationship. I'm single right now cause I can't trust anyone after a beautiful relation break up. And it is an excellency to be single cause It can help one to improve himself.

The problem with this thread is that the question itself is preloaded with language that is judgemental. Hard to have open debate in that context.

Well then what would you call it?

If I am in a long term supportive loving relationship, and I then have sexual relations with another woman,
and if I have not hidden this act from my partner, where exactly is the cheating?

Cheating in a relatinship can be as a result of lack of contentment,sometimes it is caused by temptation.a man or a woman that is not contented with his or her spouse easily falls for temptation from other young people.

There are couple of reasons ladies cheat in a relationship.
Lack of love and attention
For money
Lack of trust and more

But for the men cheating is our nature, we don't need any reason to do that

Some people cheat because they feel neglected or unfulfilled in their current relationship, while others cheat because they want to experience the thrill of being with someone new. Some people cheat because they have a low moral character, while others cheat because they feel like they are not getting what they need out of their current relationship.
And a special type of cheaters are people, who are doing it to proof their power over their partner. They want to proof themselves, that they‘re untouchable. We call those people psychopaths

Imo, people cheat because of:

• Treatment/attitude towards partner: If you're the type of person who has anger issue, always seeking for attention, abusive, etc. then there's a chance you'll get cheat on. People want peace in their life, you know
• Overthinking: It's self-explanatory. Overthinking results to overreaction which will then result to accusation.
• Money

There is no tangible reason for someone to cheat on his or her partner in any relationship.
Partners usually cheat on each other for their own selfish reasons or interests. I have come across a lady who loves her partner but still cheats. And when I asked her why and she said "she cheats because her man cant satisfy her sexually. While the other said her partner cant provide all her needs. And the other said her partner doesn't give her much attention. The reason people cheat is so numerous.

I think the reason people cheat is because they are bored of their partner. They are less noticed by their partner, so they think that their partner no longer loves them. And want to find another, who pays more attention to him.

Real love is rare in this world at this moment. Everyone cheated on everyone. I think if the loved couple is bored with each other, then openly they should share their hidden things to express with others. I hope it helps them.

"look outside"

no one shouldn't go outside from one another. Love means believing in each other. understanding of a loving couple.

Gene is why it seems illogical that even in people with happy relationships, the guy (usually) still cheats.
Our history is full of bloody wars that mainly participated by men, hence men usually die at young age killing each other, that's why they must pass their genes ASAP to multiple hosts (women). This biological trait doesn't translate well in modern society which is mainly peaceful (with a few exceptions) hence the word is "cheating."

What i believe the people may cheat because  they aren't happy in their relationship, they want attention from someone else  they crave new and exciting experience, they had personal issues with commitment, they feel entitled to have multiple partners, they can have emotional or physical need that aren't being met, OR they are tempted by an opportunity. Well their Cheating isn't okay and can hurt the relationship. It's important to talk openly and honestly with your partner about any issues or concerns to prevent the cheating
