What makes people cheat on their significant other?

I do not want to justify the mistake that I have done in the past. But what I felt was far different that what might others think about me. When a person feels being neglected for so long, doesn't feel being valued in any way, that person looks for an outlet to make himself/herself happy. But it doesn't mean looking for a "replacement". Just something to veer away your thoughts from pain and sadness. But unfortunately, certain things happen. And before you now it, you have fallen in love with another person. And what makes it harder is that you would feel that the new person is the only person that would actually give you the satisfaction that you want in a relationship- not in an intimate way, but just letting you feel how important you are.

I think that one of the reason would be that they no longer love that person or that person they can't stand to be with any more so they have found something new and they like the new person altogether. My step father cheated on my mother and well he told me that the main reason that he cheated on her was because she was always nagging him all the time and was always negative with him all the time. He couldn't take it any more and he wanted out of the relationship. So he went to find someone else and cheated on her. I think like this though, if you don't want to be with someone any more then why are you going to cheat on them, why not tell them hey I don't want to be with you any more its just that simple right. I have never cheated on any one if I didn't want to be with them any more, then I just told them, that I did not cheat on them. I have been cheated on though and it is the worse feeling in the world especially when you really like that person.

I really wouldn't know how or why they would be able to feel that there is a need to find other men or women when they are already attached. I have never cheated on a partner, I have been cheated on by my ex and I think his reason was he got close to the woman and the woman just would'nt leave his side and they will spend an awful lot of time together and she is not willing to let go. So I guess that is when he started to cheat on me, when he gets attention from another, the one that he has not been able to have with me because obviously we do not have much time together.

I think many people cheat because there is something in their relationship that they are missing, they want to get out, or just want to experience being with another person. Either way cheating is bad. When I was younger I had friends who would cheat on their partner. It always leads to bad things.It is best to stay faithful.

I'd never cheated and never ever want to cheat my partner... My husband though never cheated on me too and hope he will never ever too. But I know some people who cheated their partner. What makes them cheating? Well, temptation, fall out of love, and the big factor is their outlook in life. I do believe that principles really matters... Sometimes, a cheater will always be a cheater. I had a boyfriend then and he cheated on me, at his first cheating I forgive him but after just a matter of months he cheated me again so I decide to break our relationship. He got married but they got separated because his wife cheated on him too and he is cheating also... Well, that explains that cheating is part of behavior.

Cheating is actually part of a relationship. You are tempted to do it so. There are instances that either you or your partner may feel uncomfortable or tiered of what kind of relationship you are having in the moment. I know someone who is a cheater and I'm also a cheater but I know the limitations when you want to have another affair. No one is perfect.

I think it is the 'lust' inside some people's heart make them cheat on their partners. No, i am not currently cheating, i never ever cheated before yet.

Seduction, boredom, and find a new meaning in life; all these elements might drive a person to cheat on their significant other. I am not into a relationship yet, but when I was with my ex, I also have such concept to cheat on her, as long as she didn't find out, that will be fine. I might as well just have a brief affair, nothing serious. Maybe that is why our relationship never work out eventually.

Hi, I don't cheat for that matter, I find it hard to do against the words I have said during the moment of commitment. If I do so, I feel like a lesser person, unable to stand up to the promises I have made. True, weakness is always a part of me but I find it a personal triumph to rise above it, to be able to resist the temptation to do it.
