Why do people cheat?

The reasons for cheating can be different, but most often they are related to emotional dissatisfaction, lack of attention or intimacy. Here are some of the common reasons:

Emotional emptiness. A person may seek emotional support on the side if the relationship lacks warmth, understanding and attention.
Routine and boredom. Long-term relationships sometimes turn into a routine. The desire for novelty and thrills can push to cheat.
Revenge or resentment. Sometimes people cheat out of a sense of revenge if they feel offended or betrayed by their partner.
Low self-esteem. A person may seek confirmation of their attractiveness and significance through relationships on the side.
Lack of commitment. In some cases, cheating occurs due to a lack of emotional attachment or unpreparedness for a serious relationship.
