Why Did My Spouse Cheat On Me?
Often times when someone discovers that their spouse is or has cheated on them, they find themselves asking question after question.
One such question is “Why?” More specifically, “why did he/she cheat on me?”
Truth is there is no one answer fits all when you’re trying to get to the bottom of why someone you love and who you put your trust in would betray you like this. There are a myriad of answers and those answers, when a cheating spouse will give them, can be vague and unsatisfactory.
However, here are some classic reasons to stop you driving yourself crazy as you try and understand
Why A Spouse Will Turn into a Cheating Spouse
- Feeling unfulfilled in a marriage will often find a spouse looking outside the marriage for what they feel the marriage lacks. Your cheating spouse might not be able to articulate how they feel or what they feel, but they feel there’s something missing.
- Wanting the marriage over, but rather than fess up and say that, a cheating spouse will set out to permanently ruin the marriage by having an affair.
- The need to feel needed and desired is also a reason some will have an affair. Call it ego or never growing up, we all need to feel needed and desired, but some people will go to great lengths to have their egos stroked.
- Some cheating spouses think they will get away with cheating and so they dive right on in there. It is not their intention to get caught, but remember, just because you think you won’t get caught doesn’t mean you won’t.
- And the chance to get back at a spouse because they cheated or did something wrong, is sometimes used to justify cheating.
Whatever the reason for cheating, when the acts of a cheating spouse comes to light there is often turmoil and devastation.
Does this mean that the marriage is over? Well not necessarily!
