Today's Guest Blogger: Gina Williams & Her Relationship Diaries
Why do people cheat? It's an age old question, with a myriad of answers: One of the most common is boredom. When romance becomes everyday life, people seek the fire their current partner gave them in the beginning, with someone else.
When people become depressed and challenged by certain aspects of their life (job, finances, family issues), they turn to cheating as a means to escape from their difficult "reality."
Sometimes, people have a need to find excitement that sneaking around and doing something "wrong" can provide. If your partner is willing to take you back after you have been caught cheating, the odds are you will do it again.
Partners often cheat on one another, in what can become a continuing cycle of retaliation.
Everyone wants to feel good about themselves to feel attractive and desired. When your partner stops telling you that you're attractive, you will seek that validation elsewhere (often in the arms of another seeking the same thing). The common thread in all of the outcomes described above can be boiled down to one factor, communication.
A dying romance, depression, a need for excitement, disrespect, revenge, and a need for validation that leads to cheating on your partner are due to a lack of communication. Relationship partners have to let one another know what's going on.
- Share your feelings with your partner about a need for romance and excitement. Problems in your life that are not directly related to your partner still have a profound effect on your relationship and ultimately on your partner.
- Include your partner in the hardships and difficulties you face in your daily existence. If your relationship is not working, or you have a desire to pursue others, be honest with your partner and move on. And on the same coin, if your partner is stepping-out, don't put up with it, if you don't have self respect, no one will respect you.
- Statistical research conducted on intimate relations reveals that the strongest relationships, and those with the greatest longevity, are founded upon lasting friendship. Individuals that communicate and conduct themselves in intimate relationships as friends are more successful then the relationships that may have strong passion but little interpersonal communication and much more success then relationships in which partners are at odds with one another. Ultimately, this tells us that friendship is Key!
