I just trying to understand why. What makes people want to cheat. Maybe I’m an asexual possibly so I lack the knowledge of what makes people want to ? I don’t know. Just trying to understand. I feel if I wanted to cheat I’d break things off first. So then I wouldn’t need to.

I’m trying to understand too.
Maybe they like person outside partnership but don’t want to loose person in partnership so they do it in secret.

Some people have sex addiction, or just get off on, power, the danger and deviance. There must be many reasons. It’s a complex issue.

Some people just like variety.
But also security.

People often “cheat” in a relationship when they feel something is “missing” from their relationship. They can turn to someone outside the relationship to try to fill that (perceived) void.
This obviously does not excuse cheating, but you asked for an explanation and there it is.

Some people need the taboo to get off, the fantasy just isn’t enough.

There is probably no one reason. But I believe cheating is the worst.
If someone wants to have sex outside of their relationship - discuss it with your partner to redefine or break up.
Relationships are based on trust - and if you bring home and STD. That’s just F’d up.

I cheated once when I was younger. Not sexually, but emotionally.
My relationship at the time was turning toxic, and she was becoming increasingly smothering and codependent.
I’m in no way blaming this on her.
I was just as big of an arsehole towards her, and probably the more toxic of the two of us.
Anywho, I felt judged and misunderstood, and I met someone who filled the needs my gf wasn’t filling. He listened, he was patient, he was chill.
Once she found out he and I had developed romantic feelings for each other, she was completely crushed.
I vowed then and there to never do that to another human being again
Being the one to be cheated on a few years later, only reinforced my desicion.

I wasn’t cheated on but lied to about another woman. Basically it was an open relationship but the communication was effed up. Someone texted me to tell me he was seeing another woman. When I asked him about this he would say no and that I’m the only woman. One day I found out the truth. I had stressed and cried so much trying to find out the truth for months that by the time I found out for sure, I wasn’t even heartbroken, just disappointed

So his reason for cheating was it is his private life
Though he did apologise eventually.

Possibly because their parents did. Coming from a tight knit family would not tend to as much.
