I say this: a WEAK person will cheat when the opportunity arises. It takes a STRONG person to deny what people believe is nature (and I believe it’s a scapegoat) and be faithful. If you find yourself unable to be faithful in a committed relationship, then avoid them. There’s no requirement of ANYONE nowadays to be married or in a relationship. So if you cheat, just don’t be in one.

There are no reasons to cheat. There are EXC– USES to cheat. Ultimately a person cheats because they have decided that is what they are going to do. The reasons or motivations may be different but cheating will always be the act of a willing and able conscious person.

After I’ve had some difficulties in personal life, my *friends* couldn’t handle my depression despite the fact I grew up with some of them and that I had been there for them during their breakups and drama. I was the friend that people used a shoulder to cry on, but when I needed to cry no one was there. I can’t help but feel bitter about it. But it is what it is. At least I know who my real friends are now, which was nobody.

I’m so sorry you went through that 🙁 I’ll pray you feel better and get real friends because everyone deserves that. riends should be there for you when the going gets tough.

people cheat because of lack of honesty. if you are unhappy or feel you cant be faithful, get help, or get a divorce. dont stay for “the kids” they wont appreciate it. theyd rather have happy persons than two miserable people stuck together.
Christina Norelli
Friends are not valued like they were. It’s easy to discard friends and pick up new ones , like new clothes. Whenever there is a change in your life or your friends, it will test the friendship. Many friends fade away once they have no need for you and their life changes, their needs being are fulfilled elsewhere. This is very selfish, but very common these days. There’s no commitment.

This story line of why couples cheat is nothing new… it’s been happening for yonks. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and sex therapists etc also cheat. In more ways then you or me because they are at the coal face, and patients who are vulnerable and easily manipulated. The other aspect is what becomes of the children, and the fall out for families? If you are gonna cheat, why get hitched?
Amanda Roberts
honestly, i agree. if you cant be faithful, you should not get married. have an open relationship, leave alone the people that want monogamous relationships. both lifestyles are not wrong, what matters is that people need to be honest, you know?
Betty O'Leary
People cheat because their feelings for themselves are stronger than the feelings they have for their significant other. Even if those feelings are fleeting and for a brief moment, that’s all it takes. Bottom line…that’s it.
Shannon Bradley
The judgemental map was created according to what matters in the eye of the map-maker… But look at it subjectively, it’s either narrow-minded or completely dismissive, that’s why it’s so funny
Sibel Jenkinson
The person who made it was obviously born in Ohio or somewhere. No idea what they’re talking about.
Lucretia Asher
The NY Mag’s article on friends is very helpful. In the past year, I’ve seemed to have lost every single friend I’d made since I was 11. I have only three or four friends now, and 2 treat me like garbage. I don’t know whats wrong with me, I’m kind, caring, and considerate. (I’m not trying to be self-involved but I know it wasn’t my fault) I dont know why everyone pulls away from me.

Just my opinion and I’m not saying this is always the case, but I think men tend to cheat just because they like to have multiple partners/feel desirable by multiple people. And then women tend to cheat when they are unhappy in their current relationship and they’re looking for what they’re missing in their relationship. So for men I think it’s often just physical. For women more emotional. Although I’ve definitely heard of women that cheated because their man couldn’t “satisfy” them in bed too.
