Why would some cheat on their partner, risk their relationship and what affect does it have on their partner?
No one enters a relationship with the intention of cheating on their partner and no one enters a relationship with their partner expecting them to cheat, otherwise you would leave them before making things serious, however infidelity does happen with the very person you love and consider your best friend.
So why does infidelity still happen when a couple start off inlove with each other?
There can be many reasons why someone would risk their relationship, some of which have nothing to do with their partner.
It can be because of insecurity, sex addiction, a pattern they grew up with in their family, not feeling good enough for their partner through no fault of their partner, or maybe they feel inadequate in the bedroom and are afraid of being judged by their partner but they don’t feel judged by someone they do not have an emotional connection with.
Other reasons can be because they do not feel seen, valued or emotionally connected to their partner.
They may feel unappreciated or respected.
They may cheat if they believe their partner is already cheating so they cheat as a form of revenge.
When someone feels unappreciated, it only takes one person outside of the relationship to validate them through listening to them to cause someone to gravitate towards that person because they are missing it in their own relationship.
When the other person realises their partner has cheated on them, they often turn on themselves.
“What is wrong with me?”
Why can’t I make them happy?”
“Why aren’t I good enough for them?”
The instant shock of finding out their partner has cheated, even an emotional affair, causes the brain to react just like PTSD, (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
It is no different for the brain than someone coming through domestic violence or witnessing a traumatic event.
Betrayal causes depression, anxiety, trust issues, memory issues, sleeping and eating issues as well as going through the symptoms of grief.
