Understanding the Causes of Cheating

Many people cheat due to pre-existing psychological issues such as sex addiction or narcissistic personality disorder, which account for about 10% of infidelity cases. However, the overwhelming majority, around 90%, engage in cheating as a result of unmet emotional needs within their current relationships. The subconscious mind drives individuals to seek out fulfillment that they feel is lacking, leading them to external sources of validation, including romantic or sexual interests outside their primary partnership. This disconnect between partners can often result in feelings of bitterness or hurt as individuals attempt to satisfy their needs in less constructive or harmful ways.
