Why Cheating Happens

Surviving an Affair

Trust is essential for a healthy relationship, and it's something we often take for granted until it's gone. Having an affair destroys all trust. It can take a long time to rebuild that trust – if at all. But it may be possible for the relationship to survive and even improve.

If you're the one that's had the affair you’ll need to work hard at reassuring your partner that you can rebuild a relationship and that you've learnt from your mistake.

If you're the one who's been cheated on, you may find it difficult to ever trust your partner again. Suspicions and continuing to question their behaviour could damage your already broken relationship further. However, as time passes, you could find yourself feeling more secure and confident about your relationship.

Deciphering the Unspoken: Signs of Cheating in a Relationship

As enchanting and fulfilling as relationships can be, they often require attentive understanding and trust to flourish. While open communication forms the bedrock of any strong relationship, certain cues can signal when that trust is wavering, possibly due to infidelity. Here are  some signs that may indicate cheating in a relationship:

1. Sudden Changes in Behavior
   One of the most noticeable signs is a drastic change in your partner's behavior. They may become overly secretive about their activities, often giving vague explanations about their whereabouts or what they've been up to.
   
   
2. Increased Privacy
   Your partner may suddenly become extremely private, especially concerning their digital life. They might be overly protective of their phone, quickly closing apps when you're around or changing passwords without any apparent reason.
   
   
3. Lack of Emotional Availability
   Emotional detachment is a common sign of infidelity. If your partner appears distant, disinterested, or less involved in your relationship than before, it may indicate that their emotional attention lies elsewhere.
   
   
4. Frequent Absences
   A partner who is frequently absent or often unreachable, citing reasons that don’t seem to add up, may be a red flag. Unexplained time gaps, frequent late nights at work, or sudden trips can be signs of cheating.
   
   
5. Overly Defensive Behavior
   If your partner becomes excessively defensive or argumentative when confronted with simple questions about their day or activities, it may indicate that they are hiding something.
   
   
6. Changes in Affection
   A significant shift in your physical relationship, either with increased or decreased levels of affection, can be a potential sign of infidelity.
   
   
7. Newfound Attention to Appearance
   If your partner suddenly develops an intense focus on their appearance, like buying new clothes, trying a new fragrance, or joining a gym without any prior discussion or noticeable reason, it may be cause for concern.
   
   
8. Feeling in Your Gut
   Lastly, your intuition often knows best. If you consistently feel that something is off, it's worth addressing. Trusting your gut feeling is a significant part of any relationship.

Remember, these signs are not definitive proof of cheating, but potential indicators. It's essential to approach the situation with empathy and open dialogue. Accusations and confrontations can damage a relationship if they're based on assumptions rather than concrete evidence. If you notice these signs and feel concerned, it's best to have an open, honest conversation with your partner. Professional help, like relationship counseling, can also provide valuable guidance during such challenging times.

Preventing Cheating in a Relationship

Absolute clear and good communication is key to any relationship and is one of the most effective ways to prevent cheating.

Be open and honest. Share any temptations with your partner and agree to support each other. Only by talking and listening to each other will you give and receive information that you need to progress with your relationship.

Cheating can happen when one partner’s needs are not being fulfilled, emotionally or physically. Build and maintain emotional and sexual intimacy in your relationship. The closer you are, the stronger you are.

Take care of yourself. Eat healthily, exercise and look your very best. Feeling good about yourself will help you love yourself. If you can’t or don’t love yourself, it's hard for you to believe that anyone else will.

If you have been cheated on by your partner having an affair or affairs, then you need to understand that you partner cannot love you. Someone who truly loves another person would not and indeed could not hurt them in that way.

Your future relationship with that person is doomed to failure. By failure I mean an imperfect relationship. If you are prepared to put up with less than 100% relationship then all well and good.
