Why do men/women cheat?

Question

If you don't want to be with that person (that you're cheating on) then why don't they just leave?

And how can people cheat on their spouse (or boyfriend/girlfriend etc) and then act like nothing happened..if (i would never cheat) but IF I did, i would have to deal them because it would eat away at me =( I couldn't bare to look at them

but people do it, and live their lives (and sometimes do it MORE) as if nothing ever happened...

Are there any good reason as to why people cheat?

Answer 1

some people are just bored with their spouse sometimes it's just that an opportunity pops up and they take advantage of it.  People will be people .  I don't advocate cheating at all and I agree people that regularly cheat just need to be single and go about their life the way that they want

Answer 2

It's not a question of love but about obligation (house, cars, kids etc)

People cheat because they are unhappy in the relationship.

1- Lack of s*x

2- Want to fulfill sexual fantasies with another woman

3- Looking for love

4- Want something thrilling, exciting and dangerous

5- Neediness to be desired

6- Needs are not met

7- Fallen out of love and the relatiionship has become routine, boring

Answer 3

I cheated because I was separated from my husband and he completely shut me out emotionally.  He stopped showing me affection and attention and only had time for his friends.  He doesn't know and I act as if it has never happen, its actually pretty easy.  Maybe that makes me a bad person, well I guess it does, but my guilt has already been taken up with the Big Man upstairs, so maybe that's why i don't feel guilt, because to repent and be forgiven, your sins are carried away and you feel no guilt.

Answer 4

people cheat because they have no morals and no self respect.

Answer 5

People cheat cause they dont love or respect their spouse enough to stay faithful.

Answer 6

From personal experience...people have many problems that plague them and often to hard to cope with seeking out solution in the wrong ways.

A man that seeks peace outside of his home does wrong.

I've learned that you must love the one your with and if you can't then yes get out of it and find one that you can love instead of damaging your reputation for who you are as a person.

Answer 7

they cheat b/c they are getting what they need at home. I'm not sure about how they are able to deal with the spouse at home. I've never cheated before.  

Answer 8

I can't think of any reason(good or bad) to cheat. I never have and I never will.

Answer 9

hmm... the environment of that person or the people around him/her made him/her do it. first. some people were rejected by his/her crush or they have a broken relationship which he give his 100% of effort to that girl. for short he want revenge to others. second. that person don't want to handle a stable relationship cause they are not ready that's why they cheat. third. they play their lives like toys. as well they play it to others. fourth. its the way of life we cant resist to be in love to others. but if you really love your girlfriend., no matter what happened you will be there for her. thats i have observe i dont know the perception of others. whish this will help.

Answer 10

The reason why people cheat is because their need (whatever it may be) is not being met by their significant other and leaving is sometimes harder than it seems depending on the circumstance.
