It feels like you cannot go one day without hearing about some celebrity or politician mixed up in some sort of marital affair
. They are fully aware that in this age of the internet, mobile phones and the twenty four hour news cycle that they are watched more closely than ever before. That does not stop them one bit.
The very same thing can be stated for two timing mates that are not in the spotlight. Although they might not have to worry about never ending press photographers, there are plenty of eyes around to see what they're up to.
Why then do people nowadays betray their mate? More than likely for the same reasons people have been unfaithful ever since the beginning of marriage. Arguably the top reasons are:
1. The Lust
It's as basic as can be. A husband or wife comes across somebody that captures their eye and all bets are off. They want that individual no matter the ramifications. Once they scratches that particular itch the cycle begins yet again. It's similar to an alcoholic who can never get their fill.
2. Self Doubt
The husband or wife for whatever reason does not feel good about themselves. Never mind they are married to somebody that cares for them deeply and also constantly conveys to them how terrific they are. It is still not sufficient. So they make the decision to carry on an extramarital relationship in the hopes that it can fill the emptiness they feel yet at the same time knowing it won't. The troubled husband or wife might be consumed with remorse however it does not stop them from cheating.
3. Feels Good
Generally this is the group that tells themselves that their lives are way too short so you have to gratify yourself in whatever way possible. If this manifest itself in the form of an extramarital affair so be it. No one should deprive their self of pleasure. On top of that they really don't mean any harm. That's just the way it goes.
4. Boredom
The husband and wife has settled into a completely familiar routine therefore the cheating spouse is seeking a little bit of adventure. Something that can break up the daily grind thereby making him or her come alive once again. The most convenient way to do this is meet somebody and then begin an extramarital relationship. They understand it's sinful but the exhilaration of being freed from the dullness of everyday life is worth the risk.
5. Uncertainty
Your mate does not know exactly what they truly want. One minute it's domestic bliss with their soulmate the next it's the intense desire to be single and playing the field. They be in love with the idea of marriage yet aren't completely willing to give up whatever they had in the past.
