It Seems That The Question Of Cheating Comes Up In Every Relationship

At one point or another every person is tempted and tested and some people are able to stay faithful while others give into the temptation. Why do we cheat if we get married and plan to stay married? Cheating seems to be an epidemic, in fact it has been the subject of bad talk shows and even Greek mythology for years. Why do we continue to cheat? Many experts believe that the human simply is not programmed to be monogamous. But, what about those people who have been married for 50 years and swear that they have never been unfaithful? Are they the exception instead of the rule? It is really hard to determine because we never know who is being honest and who is not. Many people use the biology of the human as an excuse to cheat, whereas others challenge their biology and ultimately they are successful. Most people end up cheating because there is a need or a perceived need that is not being met within the relationship. Many times the reason that people fall into an affair is because they have ceased feeling special within the relationship. This is not because their partner doesn't find them attractive or enjoy their company, the newness has just worn off and so the person is left feeling less special and when someone does give them some positive attention they tend to go outside of the relationship. A lot of people cheat because their physical needs are not being met. Many people believe that men are more likely to cheat for this reason than women, but it appears to be about even. People who are existing inside of relationships without enough sex often feel as though they have to stray to get what they need physically. This is one of the most common reasons for cheating. The bottom line is that everyone has a different reason for cheating. Our biology shouldn't be used as an excuse, but most experts will agree that being monogamous takes serious effort on the part of a human being. The reason for this is that it goes against our nature, yet some people are very skilled at being monogamous while others are not. The difference is perhaps will power as well as mental health. If most people would just stop and think about their relationship and their life before they cheat, they would not do it. Many people tend to not think about their relationship and instead think about the temporary high that they are on and that is when they cheat. Cheating is very common, but it is avoidable.
