Cheating is one of the most painful topics in relationships. It is especially difficult when the betrayal comes from someone you trusted. Women often ask themselves: why did he do it? Psychologists assure that most often the reason is not in the partner, but in the man himself and his internal state. Let's consider the most common motives for which men cheat.
URA-Inform reports this.
One of the main reasons is the fear of being betrayed first. Some men experience strong anxiety and jealousy, even if their partner gives no reason to doubt. In their imagination, she is already capable of cheating, so they “get ahead of the blow.” Psychologists call this strategy an attempt to protect their own pride from possible pain.
Weakness in the face of momentary temptation plays no less a role. In the moment, a man can simply give in to emotions and desires. This is not an excuse, but an indicator that sometimes impulsiveness wins over reason. “Men tend to underestimate the consequences of their decisions if they are based on fleeting passion,” experts say.
Lack of feelings in a relationship is another common factor. When love fades and the emotional connection is lost, a man may begin to look for warmth and attention elsewhere. For many, emotional and physical comfort is more important than just the relationship status.

There are also those who use cheating as a way to assert themselves. It is important for such men to prove their attractiveness to themselves and others. The number of admirers becomes a measure of their own importance for them. Usually, such partners do not feel guilty and skillfully hide their affairs.
Of course, it's not only men who cheat. But understanding men's logic and motivation can help you spot warning signs in time and try to save your relationship – if it's really important to both parties.
