Most people tend to believe that cheating puts an end to a relationship and leads partners straight to divorce.
Psychologists do not agree with this and are generally confident that cheating can be avoided.
Healthy relationship experts have found out why people are attracted to affairs on the side and whether it is possible to somehow protect yourself from this.
What is the reason?
1. It is believed that stress or anger arising from mistakes made by the other half pushes a partner to cheat.
By cheating, people take revenge or punish their chosen ones for all the troubles caused.
2. The next reason is problems with self-esteem.
Flirting, intrigue and any manifestation of interest from the opposite sex help to cope with this.
3. Dating apps are doing their part too.
Thanks to them, a person learns how many potential partners there are around him for intimate relationships that do not commit to anything, and goes left.
4. Also, we must not forget about dissatisfaction in intimate relationships.
Is it possible to avoid cheating?
First, you need to learn to control your emotions. According to observations, happy people are more loyal.
It is important to reduce the distance with your partner by talking and discussing, planning something or sharing experiences.
Secondly, the lack of boundaries makes it difficult to understand what exactly can be considered cheating.
If partners have not established clear rules for each other, then one of them will certainly take advantage of the resulting gap.
Thirdly, it is important to be able to talk about personal things with your partner, including sex.
That is, there is no need to hide something from each other. If a couple can't talk about it, then why create a relationship?
And the last important point. If you need help or support, then don’t hesitate to ask for it.
At the right moment, you need to contact a specialist if it seems that you cannot resolve the situation on your own.
