What makes a person cheat?
A simple desire to have sex can motivate some people to cheat. Other factors, including opportunity or unmet sexual needs, may also play a part in infidelity that’s motivated by desire. But someone who wants to have sex might also look for opportunities to do so without any other motivators.
Should you tell the truth if you cheat?
Disclosing your affair might not make your partner feel better. If you want to tell your partner about a one-time act of infidelity to make them feel better, that gesture could be misplaced. According to Nelson, someone who feels guilty for cheating is usually better off keeping the affair under wraps.
Can you love someone and cheat?
Meanwhile, cheating for love is often due to a “lack of deep emotional desire.” In other words, someone who is falling in love with the person they’re cheating with may be too afraid to leave their current relationship even though it isn’t fulfilling them emotionally anymore.
