Question

Why do people cheat on each other after years of being together.?

Answer 1

Because the relationship is now a routine. Boring and sexless

Answer 2

husbands can come up with a million reasons and it is usually not their fault to hear them tell it he wasnt getting enough loving at home he needs more attention to help his ego or she came on to him or you were fighting and it just felt right at the time also he just wanted to know if he still got his mojo or he was drunk but mostly because their jerks

Answer 3

in my opinion, i thing the passion dies, there is no communication. people use the excuse they are lonely cause wives/husbands start to neglect them, they are not getting enough s*x, etc. different people have so many excuses.....communicate people!!!!! that is the only way you will avoid cheating on each other, speak your mind and with your heart so everybody can be happy!!!! :)

Answer 4

boredom (they want a chase) people have to learn to change a little to keep up the fun.

the other person does not satisfy them in whatever area (s*x, love, cuddling, conversation)

out of touch with each other

don't know or want to leave the other because of how long it has been

comfort in the one they are with ( It is scary trying to go out and start a new when you are already set in a pattern)

I am sure there are more reason. :o)

Answer 5

(mom of 3- LOL), I second that. A little side action seems fun and lite, exciting.

Till you get caught.

Answer 6

selfishness...thats it....no other reason. And whoever loved the most will hurt the most

Answer 7

Because they don't have respect for their spouse, or the vows that they said to their spouse.  They are selfish, and are not looking out for what's best for their partner and their marriage, which is what married people should always do.

People take wedding vows so lightly these days and it's a shame.  Marriage is a very sacred thing, and cheating is a horrible thing to do to someone.  If you're not mature enough to understand and adhere to the marriage vows, don't get married.

Good luck.

Answer 8

I don't understand what length of time married has to do with anything.  It's just as wrong to cheat when you've been married one year as it is to cheat after 20.  Why anybody cheats varies from person to person, but it 100% always involves irresponsibility on the part of the cheater.

Answer 9

Mena and Luvbuz have the right take on this. Those married a while will go outside of their marriage because something is lacking or there is a new excitement. Also, they may go outside of their marriage but it doesn't mean they want to end their marriage.  

Answer 10

Because I don't love my husband and I can't go anywhere. Because it is a break from our real lives.  

Answer 11

They fall out of love, get sick of each other, need some kind of new excitement, maybe they find someone they think is better for them.  Too many reasons to list.

Answer 12

cuz it gets old

Answer 13

Doing the same tricks gets boring after a while.  People get bored and they stray.
