We all know a cheater. Either we’re the unlucky ones who have been cheated on. Or the unfaithful one in the relationship. Whatever the situation may be, neither is favorable. Nobody likes cheaters. However, many of us have cheated before.

People cheat all the time, and they cheat because they can.

Maybe it’s all about seeking the thrill of something new. Maybe it’s about satisfying needs outside the relationship without any strings attached. Others might feel tempted to cheat because they are bored. Maybe it’s the excitement of being intimate with someone outside of an existing relationship that makes affairs so addictive. Whatever the reason, here are some hot takes on cheating that most people can relate to.

Cheating is about the cheater, not the relationship.

This might be counterintuitive, but I believe that it’s not fair to blame one’s shortcomings on the relationship. So, what do I mean by this? I don’t like people who blame their relationship for things they mess up. Therefore, excusing cheating by blaming the current relationship is unfair because it disregards personal responsibility and accountability.
