Although there is such thing as an open relationship in which the partner is allowed complete sexual freedom, this kind of a relationship is still acceptable to only a few. Most often, when you find out about your partner’s unfaithfulness, you have to choose between two painful decisions – to divorce or accept such a circumstance. You will experience less pain if you recognize the possible signs of cheating at the beginning of the relationship.
Why are men unfaithful?
It is said that most men cheat if they are not satisfied with their current relationship. And indeed, there are men for whome one woman is simply not enough and who cheat constantly. Often, this behavior seems normal to them because it was done by their parents or grandparents.
Some men have a strong sexual desire that they cannot control. They raise their self-esteem by saying “I am a great macho!”
For others, it is a hobby or a pastime, the same as collecting stamps, attending cultural events or hiking in nature.
It also happens that a man himself does not show initiative in relations with women, but is unable to say “no” to them, because he is convinced that it is rude.
In any case, cheating is a matter of ethics and morality. If it is acceptable for a person to be unfaithful, he will do so. If this is unacceptable, he will refrain even if there is a temptation.
By the way, according to psychologists, all cheaters have similar behavioral characteristics that can be used to predict whether a partner will be loyal.
When cheating is the norm
Men of this type usually have an established philosophy on this issue and they try to reassure their partner at the beginning of the relationship. For example, they like to proclaim that the world is multifaceted and that he should try to take as many opportunities as it offers. They are simply convinced that they have the right to meet several women at the same time, and not to be loyal to just one.
I will be faithful if I fall in love
Such a man can tell you that he has had many women, and he cheated on all of them, but if he finds the “right one”, he will be faithful. But this man is unlikely to keep his promise, because he is used to living differently, even if he truly falls in love, as he says.
He is interested in other women
If a man likes to look at photos of beautiful women and maybe even write comments below them, it should already cause suspicion. You should be even more anxious if this man accompanies every beautiful passer-by on the street or explores other women when visiting a cafe instead of focusing on you. Sometimes he can even flirt with another woman in front of his partner and then explain, “There was nothing between us! I was just a little drunk. ”
He is unhealthily jealous
If the man you just started a relationship with is very jealous – he checks your cell phone, social networks, controls with who and how you spend your time, makes scandals about talking to other men, even if it’s a completely innocent conversation with happily married co-worker, there is a high probability that he himself tends to be unfaithful. That is why he expects the same from you.
