Why do people cheat on someone they don't want to lose on someone they don't want to keep?

Why did I cheat? That’s a good question and a complicated answer. I cheated on my girlfriend of five years. In hindsight I wasn’t satisfied in the relationship. Lack of feeling wanted, lack of feeling appreciated. Feeling a complete lack of affection. I know I was in the wrong. I deserve to have lost everything which I did. Along with having my reputation severely damaged. I got what was coming to me. But I stand here today and I own it.

[cavmanier]

It would be very unusual to find a couple in a five year relationship without problems similar to what you had.

[Sevenpointfive]

because temptation presents itself too often. if you aren't completely satisfied with what you have, you'll fall.

[Jamie05rhs]

You don't have to be completely satisfied. You just have to be committed.

[luvstoned4him]

@Jamie05rhs true. We already know we can't have it all. Why not enjoy to the fullest what we have and make the best if it

[Jamie05rhs]

Exactly.

[pleasestopthis]

I think people who cheat don't think about the risks while they're enjoying themselves. They also think they're super clever and won't be caught 😂😂

[Gabriella90]

Cause they think they won’t be caught or there gods gifts to men/women.

Because they don't appreciate a good thing!!! If you are happy with your partner, you don't cheat on them: period. They're just selfish, inconsiderate, and think with their hormones rather than common sense.

I hate when a cheater tells their partner, "I'm sorry I cheated on you, I love you..." No, they're sorry they got caught! They'd still be cheating if they didn't get called out on it.

[Lance1965]

Cheaters have double-standards of the most hurtful kind. They will freak out if you dare talk to someone else but they will cheat and brush it off with lines like "it was only sex" and "it is really not that bad" or one of the most common ones "I was drunk."

The bottom line is a lot of cheaters are self-obsessed and they live in a world where everything has to revolve around them so if they want sex from someone else they will feel justified in cheating. I have been cheated on by 3 women in my lifetime and they ALL shared these same character flaws.

People that can't keep their dicks in their pants or can't close their legs are so stupid that they should never deserve love. Respect your partner, communicate and if you are trully unhappy break up in a healthy and good way. Tell them directly why you are unhappy and that you want to break up. Explain it calmly and strict.

Cheating occurs for several reasons that are linked to indifference and anger. The indifference of doing it, "because..."Angry, "because of... "So I am doing it. The origin is a bad communication within the relationship, from both sides, don't get me wrong, it can create a predisposition to cheat, however it doesn't cause the cheating.

[DiegoO]

If we are talking about what makes someone cross the line, I would say an absence of assertive, of what he/she really needs to do to solves the relationship issue, and know when is time to leave.

[DiegoO]

Assertivity.

[winterfox10]

They are scared of being alone. They would rather try to build a precarious house of cards to satisfy their needs in the short term, then risk confronting their issues and be uncomfortable for a little while.

Their real partner isn't satisfying their needs, but the other partner has obvious flaws as well.

Because people want a variety of food but don’t want to give up their favorite food!!

[pleasestopthis]

I don't get the downvotes, he's totally right. Some people are just too greedy and want to have everything at once.

[vald9inches]

Lmfao I actually got down votes for that? 😂

[Pinay_ako]

I didn't downvote you boo. They guilty i guess lol

[vald9inches]

Oh ok good haha i was like i am just saying why they would do that 😂

[cavmanier]

It's similar to why a person that wants to lose weight eats a bowl of cookies. They don't want the result after cheating, but they want the pleasure.

[Киттйлинк]

Cause they’re stupid.
It’s like the person that wants to lose weight and still eats the whole bag of cookies... why... whyyyy? 🥴

[amy_rose_1418]

Well they might like the person but if they cared about them enough for something lasting they wouldn’t have. But I don't know why they do

[Moonlight234]

Who said cheaters are that smart? lol. I've always found cheaters dumbest people.

[Nik1hil]

People who cheat..
Somewhere deep down have cheating fetish..
The idea of cheating Turns them on..
Otherwise cheating is senseless

[killer4212]

Because

[markanthonypeace]

When the sex life is adequate I believe there's a lot less urge to turn off course

[ariadneR]

the thrill, the knowedge that what you are doing is wrong,, and they dont think they will get caught

[Thotkiana]

Are you speaking from experience

[ariadneR]

@Thotkiana NOPE, JUST TRYING TO SEE FROM THEIR EYES

[Thotkiana]

ok calm down

[ariadneR]

@Thotkiana lol nah I need caps on at work. Lol

[XxXLuna_StarXxX]

Maybe they only want them for sex. Something like that

[justcurious2019]

i don't get the point of cheating if you don't like the person that you are with leave them easy as that

[nuffsaid]

Sometimes leaving them isn't all that easy? Especially for years long relationships 🤷‍♂️

[isweatergawd]

Lmfaoooo temptation and humans. They act on the feeling instead of cutting it off. They believe they won't get caught.

[Millesa80]

I cheated it destroyed my life.. till now don't know why I did it

[sasukeuchiha7]

Cause most compulsive Chester's are narcissists who only think about themselves

[pizzalovershouse]

cuz they want some 1 new so they get tired of the same person
