I've had people tell me it's genetic. It's in the male's dna to couple with as many females as he can to propagate the species and ensure the survival of the human race. I don't know for sure, it's just what I was told.

Because they are insecure. They appear to be very arrogant. But deep down, they are very insecure for some reason. So the love and affection of one person will never be enough. They need constant validation from many different people, every day, in order to feel special or important.

I don't know (I could not do that)but, I believe it is because they have not found their true love.

"why do people cheat"

the works of mankind are sometimes inexplicable.

sex.. they all have sex.. that is the common denominator

He does stuff to her that he doesn't do with his wife. she does stuff to him that she doesn't do with her husband.

then they go back to suburbia and act like they don't do that kind of stuff

I know it would be waaaay easier to have one surefire answer that explains it all and works for every situation but does that work for any other situation. What if I said there are are genuinely some things that have a grey area. What if I said I 100% love and respect my wife but because of our backgrounds the one somewhat incompatible area is in the bedroom. Now part of my respect is how far my conservative wife has come to make me happy. But can you say it’s irreprejensible that I discreetly and safely scratch an itch when necessary to keep from doing something dumb, reckless or that could potentially break her heart? Have you wondered why it seems to be predominantly Catholic priests that are committing atrocities on children? You think it’s a coincidence that they have been taught to deny the feelings and lust that they can’t quench with a wife? Ladies out there, I’d love and open dialogue...only caveat is that if proven wrong, you must submit to an evening of lust that my wife will never know about!

gross

Maybe they can, but I've never witnessed it. My ex-girlfriend cheated on my numerous times. Each time I took her back, she returned to her old ways.

The excuses always changed, though.

I've heard it said that humans are not naturally monogamous. I'm not sure about that. I've also heard it wasn't natural for humans to eat meat.

Hi

There lot of reason for cheating each other. We cant point a only single reason for cheating..It depends upon lots of situations...I feel so..

I always did cheat...................................at cards.

Lack of contentment.

There are so many reasons people cheat and I cant speak for anyone other than myself. I used to be a serial cheater. My reasons (not justifications) were being emotionally abused in my relationship and feeling trapped. So I used sex to passively aggressively get back at her. Also, at a young age I was interfered with sexually and that turned sex into being about fun with no emotions needing to be attached. Add in a sexual addiction and denial that I had a problem. In the end I admitted it was a problem and got help and feel so much happier now that I'm not spending all my energy scheming and remembering stories, being paranoid about being found out and having to lie on a consistent basis. All very draining.

Also would add another theory. For 1000s of years humans lived every day just surviving. Not a lot of extra time to get lost in your thoughts and get depressed. Now that technology has gotten so much better people are getting bored in there lives and find activities to add excitement. Whether its cheating, gambling, drug use or whatever.

People cheat because they can. They have No morals !

Nice try junior Lol

Because they can.
Because they want to.
Because it temporarily distracts them.


And because alot of people can only gauge right and wrong, by if it causes anyone physical harm.

if no one is harmed, and if one has not taken what they dont 'deserve' or whats not theirs, pretty much anything that brings happiness in our life in this moment is not 'wrong'.

attraction, unsatisfied with their partners, want to get even, hmmm.... for fun.....

the state of deception must be a very different phenomenon...

the event is:
can the two partners who find everything they seek to do the job of deceiving???
