The real reason why I cheated
WHEN a partner is unfaithful, the question of what caused such an action usually lingers in our minds, often going unanswered.
Subsequently, we are left to become our own private investigators and draw conclusions as to the reasons behind the infidelity. Sometimes the answer is straightforward; many times the real reasons remain a mystery.
All Woman asked a few people to state the reasons they are cheating or have cheated in the past. Their responses are below:
Jonathan:
When I cheated on my wife of 15 years it was mere boredom. I was bored of the same old routine and dry period when she just didn’t want to be intimate. As a result I got myself a young toy. Eventually she found out and we sought counselling and I can see that now she makes an effort to try new things.
Avagay:
I needed to prove to him that I was not weak as he had told me and others. It was a case where he believed that I would not leave no matter what because I was too invested. Truth is, I was. But after I realised this made him feel like he had all right to treat me the way he did, I simply gave him a dose of his own medicine and proved my point that I was not someone to mess with.
Radgh-Anthony:
First of all, it’s not natural to be monogamous. So on that basis I can’t keep one woman. People see it as being dogs, but for me it’s natural to cheat. The reason does not have to devious either. It’s just needing a breath of fresh air, a change.
Sharona:
It was a case of bun fi bun. I was taught to do unto other as I’d like them to do to me. My boyfriend at the time had been messing around with about three different girls while I was there being old faithful. It got to me. The stares, whispers and mockery really got to me. So I simply gave in to the advances of someone else and ensured he found out.
George:
I told her what I wanted and she couldn’t live up to it. I specifically laid out what I liked to do in bed and she always opposed. I wanted a threesome once and she said no, go look that with someone else, so I did.
Mauve:
He was too small and lacked creativity to please me.
