Almost half of people cheat because they are not happy on an emotional level

When we think of a bit of sexual intercourse with someone other than our man at home, you quickly think of lust, craving vajayjays, and even more lust.

Because cheating is something you do to have a bit of naughty sex to feel that excitement coursing through your body again. To once again have a drooling gaze from a man on your bare body. To once again know what it feels like when someone tears your clothes off and slams you against the wall. Not so. Because certainly half of the people who cheat do so because they are emotionally and socially not happy in their relationship. They are therefore looking for an emotional connection with someone else.

Here's the thing. But 8 percent of people cheat because they are not sexually happy with their partner. Sex is a foundation of a relationship and very important, but there is of course more. On average, in a typical relationship, you spend more minutes chatting with each other than you do having sex. At least, maybe not the first few months with your flame, but generally that does change after a while. And when you are no longer each other's best friends, people start looking elsewhere and peeing outside. If you can no longer have nice conversations, do fun things together, understand each other, well... Then love is over at some point. Gone. And when love is gone, attention is sought from others.

This applies to both men and women, because men really don't just follow their dick.. Although we think they do. They simply have less to discuss with their partner and therefore look further. So if you want to prevent your man from having someone else: talk. Leave that fling as it is. A good evening of laughter together can prevent a lot of misery.
