He said there's no reason why he cheated on me. I asked him multiple times, he still dont know why he did that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course, if they aren't loyal to begin with and see something they wish to do they would just go for it. Not everyone is a loyal type, for us its hard to imagine. But remove the idea of feeling guilty for cheating because you don't take that person seriously. Then you could do it as casually as you want and it would not matter to you. Its something people do who in my opinion lack the morals or loyalty to their partner. Its something I'd never ever do. But I can totally see why people who just use others for sex would do it without a single care.

There is never a valid reason to cheat, so it's always for no reason.

If you don't like the person, leave, then go be with someone you like.

Cheating just makes you lose both people.

[linka_pat307]

Cheating has one reason "I have lost feelings for you or you have changed from the person I have loved before, you were too busy so you didn't cared to make tym for us"

None has never cheated without a reason

[LazerBean]

There's always a reason, although that reason may simply be that they are a low quality human being.

[BarryLiverstone]

They can cheat for a reason you don’t think is valid

[BarryLiverstone]

If he says it’s no reason then he’s lying to you

[EricJonesAB]

Some people are just selfish and they're gonna lie, cheat, and steal. It's in their nature.

[Mangospacho]

He might not have a motive but there is still a reason for him cheating. He probably gets a rush from closing the deal and getting someone to cheat with him.

[Wicked_Witch]

There is always a reason. It doesn’t have to be a good one.

One of the nicest guys I've ever met, told me he was a cheater.

[Agape93]

No, there's always a reason.

[Anonymous]

i've never cheated. i been in love with the same person for 5 years and never cheated

[jayhams]

Every action a person takes has a reason

[jayhams]

@update because he has trauma he can't identify so he doesn't understand his actions. That or he is lying and just wanted to fuck someone else.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No lots of things people do have no reason behind them, reason and cause are not synonyms, reason implies thinking clearly was part of the process. Whereas cheating has zero benefit, and only serves to piss off both of the people instead of leaving one for the other out of compatibility needs.

[jayhams]

@TheSpaceGnome reason: a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event. That is the definition of reason.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, thats just what people put on the internet as the definition, because enough people used reason incorrectly to warrant the change.

[jayhams]

@TheSpaceGnome that definition is from Oxford. Marriam says the same thing as well as Cambridge. You don't know what you are talking about. Just admit it and move on. You aren't going to convince me that the top three most credible dictionaries in the world are wrong lmfao.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Dictionaries change definitions of words very frequently, my argument is that they shouldn't.

For example: If you research the definition of gender in today's dictionaries, it is very different to what was written in 1990s dictionaries.

The meanings of words should be its original, singular meaning, the secondary, third, etc, meanings are the result of enough people using the word improperly. Sometimes even the singular meanings get changed because of this.

[jayhams]

@TheSpaceGnome it was first recorded with that meaning in the 15th century. Keep digging yourself deeper through ignorance instead of admitting the truth and growing as a person.

From the Etymology dictionary: Part 1.

reason (n.)
c. 1200, resoun, "the intellectual faculty that adopts actions to ends," also "statement in an argument, statement of explanation or justification," from Anglo-French resoun, Old French raison "course; matter; subject; language, speech; thought, opinion," from Latin rationem (nominative ratio) "reckoning, understanding, motive, cause," from ratus, past participle of reri "to reckon, think" (from PIE root *re- "to reason, count").
Meaning "sanity; degree of intelligence that distinguishes men from brutes" is recorded from late 13c.; that of "that which recommends itself to enlightened intelligence, a reasonable view of a matter" is from c. 1300.
The sense of "grounds for action, motive, cause of an event" is from c. 1300. The Middle English sense of "meaning, signification" (early 14c.) is preserved in the phrase rhyme or reason. Phrase it stands to (or with) reason is from 1520s. A reason of state (1610s) is a purely political grounds for action.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Part 2:

The Enlightenment gave reason its focused sense of "intelligence considered as having universal validity... so that it is not something that belongs to any person, but is something partaken of, a sort of light in which every mind must perceive" [Century Dictionary]. Reason itself has long been personified, typically as a woman. Age of Reason "the European Enlightenment" is first recorded 1794 as the title of Tom Paine's book.
Reason is never a root, neither of act nor desire.
[Robinson Jeffers, "Meditation on Saviors"]
reason (v.)
c. 1400, resounen, "to question (someone)," also "to challenge," from Old French resoner, raisoner "speak, discuss; argue; address; speak to," from Late Latin rationare "to discourse," from Latin ratio "reckoning, understanding, motive, cause," from ratus, past participle of reri "to reckon, think" (from PIE root *re- "to reason, count").
The intransitive sense of "to think in a logical manner, exercise the faculty of reason" is from 1590s; transitive sense of "employ reasoning (with someone)" is from 1680s. Related: Reasoned; reasoning.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Many people do things without ryhme or reason, they do them because they were not considering purpose, usefulness, benefit, or goal.

[jayhams]

@TheSpaceGnome did you read what you copy and pasted? 1400 which is the 15th century it says "reckoning, understanding, motive, cause"

[TheSpaceGnome]

Many people mistook the context for some of that and shortened the definition.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes.

Read the context.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Cause does not mean source by the way, cause implies intent. "I have a cause", "I did this because, etc." it has meaning and logic implied.

[jayhams]

@TheSpaceGnome keep digging deeper lmfao

[TheSpaceGnome]

Thats not what digging means :)

[TroyDT2]

The reason is selfishness.

[AmeerX]

Always a reason is there perceived or real

[Twalli]

They might not really know the reason.

[In_Trance]

There is always a reason

[Kareem_z21]

No I don't think so
