Cheating In A Relationship, 3 Tips For Knowing About It
If you're wondering what causes cheating in a relationship and what can be done to prevent it, this article is for you. The first thing you have to keep in mind, and it may sound dumb, is that for most people cheating isn't just about sex. It's about feeling a connection with someone, feeling desirable, or feeling loved. Once you realize that for most people the cheating is a sign of bigger problems in the relationship, it will make it easier to pinpoint the problem, cure it, or even better, avoid it altogether.
Unfortunately it is very common for people to marry or enter into a relationship with the wrong person. It happens all the time. People get involved with someone and even though there are a lot of warning signs that this person isn't who they thought they'd be and they may not even be someone they want to be with, people will ignore these warning signs, and that's when the trouble starts.
If you're in a new relationship and your partner is cheating and/or the two of you are always fighting it's time to get out. I don't mean to sound rude, but the reality is that if the two of you can't get along during the early stages of a relationship when everything is new and wonderful, there is no way you're going to be able to get along as the relationship cools and everyday problems and issues arise.
Just taking this one simple piece of advice can save untold hours of misery and disappointment.
If, like many couples, the two of you start off strong but then tend to be fighting more and more often, it's time for the two of you to calmly sit down and discuss the situation. If you are both honest with yourselves and each other you can figure out what the problem is and whether or not it can be fixed.
This is very difficult for many couples because, again, it all stems back to what each one of them wants in the relationship. More than likely, even though they may not have been fighting about them, the differences have been there from the start, it's just that it was easier to ignore them with the rush of first love. After a little while some of that love wears off and the problems seem bigger and more unbearable and that's when the fighting, and sometimes the cheating, start.
If you suspect your partner may be cheating here are a few things to be on the lookout for:
1. Does your partner suddenly have a password on their email account or computer? Or, have they just gotten another email account (which of course you may not even know about).
2. Is your partner suddenly overly protective of their cell phone and they go nuts if you pick it up? That could mean that they have added a number to their phone and/ or they have gotten a call from their lover that they don't want you to see.
3. Is your partner suddenly very affectionate with you for no apparent reason? This could be a sign that they are feeling guilty about something and they're trying to make something up to you.
Of course, none of these things are a sure sign your partner is cheating, but one or more of them might make you want to pay a little more attention. While it is possible to overcome cheating in a relationship, it's much better for everyone if cheating never occurs in the first place. Use these tips to keep an eye out for the right person for you and for what that person is doing when you're not around.
