Attention

The seeds of infidelity can often be sown early on, namely through inattentive behavior in everyday life. Tenderness is often a very important issue for the partner. If the partner feels less noticed and receives too little attention, it is possible that he or she will repeat this attention elsewhere. Or with someone else. Of course, this is by no means an "automatic reason" to cheat, but if you feel that you receive enough attention, you are less likely to cheat.

Sexuality

Probably the most common explanation for infidelity: "Bad sex!" For men, sex is partly what caressing or attention is for many women. If this becomes routine after a certain number of years of marriage, the partner may become bored and look for the thrill of something new and exciting. This is quickly seen in an affair. People visit various online portals more often and are literally looking for a way to break out of their dull sex life and experience the things they have secretly been longing for for so long. Simple communication can help very quickly here. Never let the sex in a relationship suffer, keep the passion in a relationship alive. And you can only do that if you know what the other person wants. Let's talk about sex!

Relationship problems

For many people, running away is often a sensible solution. We're talking about problems in the relationship that we don't actively try to solve, but don't want to deal with in the first place. Instead, we prefer to invest our energy in an affair to distract ourselves from the real problems. You can probably tell pretty quickly that this is not really a sensible attitude, but for many people this is exactly the right approach. Another reason could, of course, simply be the fear of being alone. We know that the problems can no longer be solved, but being completely without a partner is not a solution either. So we try to keep our heads above water with quick adventures until a potential new partner is found. This approach is immensely disrespectful to the current partner, which is why you should perhaps always keep in mind that you either want to fight for the relationship or perhaps you should let go. For some, it can perhaps be a liberating feeling instead of hurting your partner behind their back.

As you can see, infidelity itself can develop quickly and can have many reasons. The list goes on and on and could perhaps even include completely different aspects that you wouldn't even think of yourself. However, one thing is usually clear in all cases: communication with each other can work wonders when it comes to recognizing whether our partner is perhaps suffering from one of the points listed and simply can't get it off their chest.
