I often think about this. Maybe cheating is born where attention ends?

When two hearts stop listening to each other, stop appreciating small manifestations of care, sincere heart-to-heart conversations disappear.

Then a third person easily enters the void, bringing the illusion of novelty, interest and attention.

Someone cheats because of passion, looking for the fire that is lacking in the relationship.
Someone because of loneliness in a couple: when there is a person nearby physically, but the soul feels lonely.

And someone simply out of weakness, because they cannot resist temptation.

But I believe that true love and trust can protect against betrayal.

After all, betrayal is not about another person, it is first of all about betraying yourself, your values and your choice.

If you chose to be with someone, then this choice contains your honesty, your soul.
And if you cheat, then first of all you betray yourself, and only then your partner.

I do not believe in justifications for cheating.
I believe in dialogue, in honesty, in the fact that if something is wrong, you need to say it, look for a solution, fight for what is dear.

After all, no passion on the side can replace that deep feeling that is born in trust, respect and sincerity.

Sometimes betrayal happens where people have long lost intimacy and are only pretending to be a couple.
And then, perhaps, this is just the final point of what has been destroyed for years.
But when there is love in the relationship, understanding and the desire to go together to the end, betrayal has no power.

I believe that fidelity is not an obligation, but a choice of the heart.
And when you truly love, this choice becomes natural.

What do you think?
Why do you think people cheat because of weakness, because of a lack of something, or because there is no real love left? 🌹
