There are many ways to mess up a romantic relationship, but cheating is arguably the fastest one. It destroys trust and can cause deep emotional pain for those affected. While some couples may be able to work through the issue and salvage their connection, for many, the damage is too great to rebuild.

Recently, online content creator Aliyah's Interlude tweeted a question, asking people: "What's the craziest way you've found out your partner was cheating on you?" and whether it was the desire to normalize their past, shame their (ex) significant other, or simply warn others, many responded with their experiences.

I did the same thing... one morning, after getting back from a trip out of country with my sister, I woke up and just KNEW (in my gut) that my boyfriend (of 8 years) had cheated on me. He admitted it when I confronted him about it. Before that, while I was away, I also suddenly got a gut feeling that he was doing something wrong. I even wrote in my travel journal, "He better not be making a fool out of me." I told myself that I was being silly, and that he would never do that to me. My gut knew better.

Oooh, that’s some insane intuition right there! Once, my ex-BF went to another state for Thanksgiving to visit a friend. I surprised him at the airport to welcome him back home (back when you could meet them at the gate). The moment I saw him walking out of the loading bridge, I just knew.

    According to research, cheating is rarely a simple affair. There are many reasons why people become unfaithful, and the patterns are more complex than common stereotypes suggest. A fascinating study from 2021 sheds some light on these motivations.

    The investigation included 495 people (87.9 percent of whom identified as heterosexual), who were recruited through a participant pool at a large U.S. university and through relationship-related Reddit message boards.

    The participants admitted to cheating in their relationship and answered the question at the root of the mystery: why did you do it? An analysis revealed eight key reasons: anger, self-esteem, lack of love, low commitment, need for variety, neglect, sexual desire, and situation or circumstance. These motivations not only influenced why people cheated but how long they did so, their sexual enjoyment, their emotional investment in the affair, and whether their primary relationship ended because of it.

    It’s really sad, but experienced OB nurses have seen some s**t. Our patients are our #1 priority and we will do everything we can to support them. I am sure the nurse spent a bit of time thinking through what was best for the patient. It likely took some restraint not to kick his out when she caught him. I can only imagine how embarrassing this was for this new mama. :(

    What an IDIOT!! Glad he got caught!

    Though most cheating involves sex, it is rarely just about the act itself. Most participants felt some form of emotional attachment to their affair partner, but it was significantly more common in those who reported suffering from neglect or lack of love in their primary relationship.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Around two-thirds of participants (62.8 percent) admitted they felt affection toward their new partner. About the same proportion (61.2 percent) engaged in sexually explicit dialogue with them. Roughly 4 out of 10 (37.6 percent) had intimate conversations, while 1 in 10 (11.1 percent) said, “I love you.”

    Those who reported feeling less connected to their primary partner experienced greater emotional intimacy in the affair, which might be a way of fulfilling that need. Additionally, when infidelity was linked to a lack of love, individuals found the experience more intellectually and emotionally satisfying.

    My ex was using his car to cheat on me with someone out of state (he said he was visiting his parents). Turns out he got a ton of expensive (Boston) parking tickets which he ripped up and never paid. A few years later, after we broke up, I was driving through Connecticut (which exchanges info with Massachusetts) and I was arrested and thrown in jail for an outstanding warrant due to the unpaid parking tickets. On the 4th of July. The judge who had to approve my bail was at a BBQ getting drunk. I was in jail most of the day. My ex is an asshat.

    Participants' satisfaction with sex differed depending on the reason for their affair. People reported feeling more sexually fulfilled when they cheated because of desire, lack of love, or a need for variety. Much of the sexual activity was limited to kissing (86.7 percent) and cuddling (72.9 percent). Interestingly, the study found that only half of the cheaters reported having vaginal intercourse.

    The reason for the infidelity also had a great impact on its length. In some cases, the relationship was a brief tryst, while others were a longer and deeper attachment. Those who cheated because of anger (such as a wish to “seek revenge”), lack of love, or need for variety had a longer affair, while those motivated by the situation (such as those who were “drunk” or “overwhelmed” and “not thinking clearly”) ended it sooner. Women also had longer affairs, on average, than men.

    Since it's a thread about catching cheaters, I'm going to assume that he showed her pictures of girls he was sleeping with.

    In the end, only a third of participants ultimately admitted to their primary partner that they were cheating on them. Women were more inclined to fess up than men. Also, those who came clean were more likely to have cheated out of anger or neglect rather than sexual desire or variety. This suggests that their confession could have been a form of retribution and a way to exact revenge instead of a way to clear their conscience. The participants who confessed were more likely to form a committed relationship with the affair partner, too.

    She didn't get a sexually-transmitted venereal disease from the aether, that's for sure. If she had no other sexual partners before or after said boyfriend, HE had chlamydia and lied/transmitted it to her.

    I found out my ex-horror was cheating on me because I contracted HPV. Of course he denied it, but I couldn't have gotten it any other way. I went to the gyno and she said I might have what looked like pre-cancerous cells. On two occasions, after a positive pap test, bits of my cervix needed to be snipped out. And yes, it effing hurt, not to mention the fear, stress and cost of a divorce lawyer.

What did you say I have?" - you know YOU'VE been faithful... Even worse - he tries to play it off as if it must have just 'spontaneously occurred' from nowhere.

    So does an affair really end a relationship? Ultimately, the fate of the participants' primary relationship depended less on the act itself and more on what motivated it.

    Cheating was more likely to end a relationship when it arose from anger, lack of love, low commitment, or neglect and it was less likely to do so when the infidelity was circumstantial.

    Surprisingly, only one in five (20.4 percent) of relationships ended because of the affair. The same number of couples (21.8 percent) stayed together despite their primary partner finding out, while slightly more (28.3 percent) stayed together without their partner discovering their infidelity. The remaining relationships broke up for other reasons.

    I haven't ever cheated on my wife and I love her more than anyone. But she's woken me up in the middle of the night at LEAST 4 times to yell at me for cheating on her in a dream lol Intuition isn't ALWAYS right. But, I've had that creeping feeling with several past partners and it was right those times. The first gf I had I tried to ignore it as paranoia and ended up finding out she was sleeping with a LOT of different guys later on.

    This is kind of what happened to me. With this loser for 6 years on and off. Met him at my place after a few drinks with friends for my Birthday. He had been cleaning up, found and read my therapy diary from a few years ago. I had written something about a fling I had when we were broken up for a year. He accused me of cheating - we were on a break! - and broke up with me. On my Birthday. Checked his FB page a few days later to see he's updated his relationship status to 'in a relationship' with someone else since April. My Birthday is at the end of May. Jerk.

    When my wife's phone received an audible message notification at around 11-12pm, and when I picked up the phone (without looking at it - simply to pass it to her) her guilty, slightly panicked reaction gave her away entirely. Turned out she'd been seeing a mutual friend behind my back for some time.
