What makes a person cheat?

i'd like to know why ppl cheat too, in my last relationship, i was cheated on..it always made me feel like i was never good enuf for him, that he wanted more then just me, but wanted me to turn to when he needed me, it got to me so much, i just couldn't handle it ne more, but i have a boyfriend now that would never cheat *knock on wood* lol

From my prospective only..A person cheats because something is missing in the relationship they are in. Doesn't make it right but there you have it. Any relationship is hard work and if both parties are not willing to put forth the effort, which involves compromise and communication, there will be a break down and one or both will seek what is missing elsewhere. How to prevent it...talk, share, listen...give and take..be willing to give 100% to making the relationship work. Remember there is no perfect relationship and at times you will be picking up the slack when you partner can't and other times they will pick up yours. Finding a way to balance each other and be each others best friend helps to make the ruff spots easier to handle and recover from.

I think the reasons people may cheat on the person they are with is due to a variety of different reasons. I personally have never cheated, nor do I believe in cheating. But I know that a lot of people in this day tend to cheat on there spouses. I think some of the reasons they do this is due to things such as: - Them being bored with the person they are with. - The person within the relationship is not sexually satisfied. - Lack of communication. This usually happens when the couple is not listening to each other's feelings, or what the other person may be saying & so forth.. - Curiosity. Some people that are in long term relationships for some reason just like to explore other things with different partners. - Sometimes the person within the relationship ends up finding a person who in there eyes is better in some areas than the person they are with. - Sometimes when the person in a relationship isn't at all happy.. They begin to think that they will find it somewhere else. - Arguing on a regular basis. Never being able to come up with a solution to some of the things the couple is arguing about. - Sometimes because there is a lack of affection within the relationship. - SELFISHNESS of course! The persons lack to care how someone else would or may feel if they were them. - Some people have a difficult time resisting temptation when it's staring them in the face. - Lies. If the person is repeatedly lying to you.. The person may try to find another person who may be much more honest then the person they are with. In all honestly I believe that there are a million reasons as to why people may cheat on there spouses. And in most cases they are not very good reasons, but sometimes needs are not met with the current spouse I suppose & they think this is the only solution to a problem such as this one.. Why? I think some of us will never understand.. I don't think there is any way one could prevent someone from cheating on you.. All you can do in a relationship is treat the person like you would want to be treated.. Some people will cheat though no matter how you treat them.. You could give them the world & they will still turn there backs on you sadly.. I think the person someone is meant to be with will not turn to cheating on you.. If they do it just wasn't meant to be.. I know what it is like to be cheated on.. And I could never picture myself doing that to someone whom I love.. If things have changed or I am unhappy I will then go my separate way.. To me cheating is a choice & once you've made it.. That decision can never be erased.. I don't think I could live with the guilt of knowing that I had hurt someone that terribly.. I guess some people don't have a conscious if they are willing to cheat on there spouse.. In conclusion.. I don't understand why people cheat myself. I guess in this day & age some people out there in this world are just selfish. And want both at once. Having one person to love & to be with is just not enough for them sadly. I personally have never quite understood the purpose in cheating. To me if you want to be with someone else all you have to is just break up with the person you are in the relationship with.. And then go out with the other person. I don't believe you can have both at once, it'll never work. I think instead of hurting the other person by cheating, it's so much better to just be honest with them & just to end things. Instead of going behind there back & betraying them by deciding to cheat on them.. At least this is how I feel on the matter personally! . . I don't personally believe in cheating & I find it incredibly sad when someone has to resort to doing this to there partner. Maybe they shouldn't have gotten involved in the relationship in the first place then.. Thanks for allowing me to share! xx
