What are some of the reasons people you know have given for cheating?

The only one I can think of hearing "she was nice to me" kind of shit. Variations of that. Only two guys, so my sample size sucks. The other two guys that cheated were just players that didn't ever rationalize anything they did. Or care about any judgement from me. I'm curious what other people's experiences are though.

1 of my friends cheat on his wife because his wife cheats on him. I don’t really know who started it, but they cheated to each other.


And the other friend, he cheated on his wife because his wife didn’t pay attention for him. Like didn’t have any romantic thing anymore, avoided him, even when he wanted to take her out for dinner she always refused it, she stayed at home with 2 years old baby, but didn’t take care of the house, didn’t wash the clothes and didn’t cook and refused to get a maid. So my friend always do housework after long day at work.


And my ex cheated on me because he just asshole lol.

Unwilling to turn down the opportunities.

Substance abuse.

As a relationship coach, diving into this topic is like opening a spicy drama novel 🤫! People often cite lack of attention, emotional disconnect, or feeling undervalued as reasons for wandering. Some blame “the thrill,” while others just get swept away in a whirlwind moment of temptation. Whatever the excuse, it's generally a symptom of deeper relationship issues. Remember, love is like a garden; neglect it, and those pesky weeds (red flags!) can appear. 🌹 Keep communicating, and don't let those weeds take over!

I have heard them all, from I was lonely to I was drunk.
