Experts Reveal 8 Things That May Push Your Partner To Cheat
Were they promiscuous, or was there a trigger?
No matter what, one should be loyal to their partner regardless of whether there’s someone with better looks. But experts help explain that there ARE factors that might allow your partner more leeway to cheat without feeling too guilty about it! Check them out below.
Understand that it won’t just be one, but multiple factors at play may cause them to act the way they did.
They are not emotionally intimate with you anymore.
It’s so often heard to find men explaining the reason they cheat is for the sex. But what many of them don’t talk about (despite it probably being the main reason!) is their emotional need. Marriage counselor Gary Neuman revealed in his book, ‘The Truth about Cheating,’ and it’s more common than people think! That is why cheating often starts from deep conversations.
Their circle of friends on top of being a repeat offender!
What a lot of people didn’t know is that your friends DO influence your behavior! Over 75% of men to admit to infidelity says that they have friends who do it, too. Oh, and if they have a history of doing so? You bet they are more likely to do it again, according to this study.
Boring sex life.
It’s apparent that if they can’t find it in you, they’ll find someone else for it. 70% of cheating men and 49% of cheating women admitted so, despite their relationship being happy and okay in general.
The quarter-life crisis anxiety.
As we age, we get anxious over what we’ve achieved, weighing the losses and gains of our life. This typically happens as one’s age is about to turn a new decade, such as 29, 39, and 49. According to this study, anxiety appears to be an important factor that could cause someone to seek out someone other than their partner.
Social media addiction.
Add this to the list of the negative impacts of social media addictions. Partners who spend more time scrolling their timeline than giving attention to their loved ones might encounter someone virtually that can lead to cheating. This is exacerbated by the fact that their sleep schedule might even be affected, according to this journal.
Those trips without you.
He’s going on a business trip for a few weeks without you. According to this poll, that poses a high risk for especially people who are in their sixth to the ninth year of marriage. They’re serious about their job and maybe even about you, but those filings, though…
Where’s the skinship?
Okay, but seriously, skinship is a necessity, not just symbolic. When you hug and kiss your partner, both of you release oxytocin. Some of you might recognize the term hug hormone, and it’s called so because skinship results from trust. At the same time, it also builds trust. Men with a high level of oxytocin actually prefer to keep a distance from other women!
It’s their lifestyle.
Most people view relationships as something serious to maintain, while others like to clarify if they’re only into physical relationships. But some find thrill in cheating. They view it as a challenge, perhaps a lifestyle, and monogamy is a horrifying cage for them.
