Emotional Disconnection
When partners stop feeling emotionally understood or valued, they often seek validation elsewhere. Emotional neglect creates loneliness even within a relationship, making outside attention feel comforting and addictive.
-
Unmet Physical Needs
A lack of intimacy, mismatched libidos, or prolonged distance can lead to frustration. Cheating becomes a misguided way to satisfy these unmet desires instead of addressing them honestly.
3. Low Self-Esteem
Some people cheat to feel desired, powerful, or worthy again. They use attention as emotional fuel to escape feelings of inadequacy or invisibility.
4. Opportunity and Temptation
When boundaries are weak and situations allow secrecy, temptation grows. Alcohol, travel, or online interactions often lower restraint and make impulsive choices seem excusable.
5. Revenge or Resentment
Anger and unresolved conflicts can twist into payback. Infidelity, in such cases, becomes a weapon meant to hurt, not a search for pleasure.
