There are various reasons why romantic relationships may have a negative course. One of these reasons is cheating/being deceived. In such a case, whether the relationship will continue or not depends on whether the cheating partner will be forgiven. Before moving on to the topic of cheating, let's talk a little about what a healthy romantic relationship should be like.
When it comes to romantic relationships, people may feel stuck in some situations. The healthy continuation of the relationship depends on individuals seeing each other's needs, to what extent their expectations are realized, and their own awareness levels. People can achieve happiness when they take into consideration both their own and the other party's wishes. The time the partners spend together will be valuable as their social compatibility with each other and having similar tastes will create a common denominator. Both parties should remember that this is a relationship but they still have their own boundaries and their own lives, and they should respect the other party's ideas and choices.
There are some issues that individuals need in a relationship. Although the needs mentioned here are mostly emotional needs; Closeness, security, care and love are feelings of attachment. If these are met sufficiently, it can be observed that the satisfaction of the relationship increases.
People are in various relationships throughout their lives, and in fact, all this interaction of the individual with the environment forms the basis for the person to have some opinions about life and relationships. If an individual has negative beliefs about romantic relationships, this can cause the relationship to deteriorate. Now let's get to the cheating! Why do people cheat? What is the reason for this behavior? Of course, it is not possible to attribute cheating to a single reason. There are many different perspectives on this subject. When cheating is considered from an evolutionary perspective, some sexist situations may arise. For example, it is said that men are more likely to cheat than women. The reason for this is that men have an intense desire to continue their lineage and therefore have more than one partner. From time to time, such sexist approaches can turn into reasons that undermine the stability of romantic relationships. Like overgeneralization It can cause distortions and lead to labeling any gender.
In addition, there are many broad and complex reasons for cheating, such as childhood traumas and role model parents exhibiting such behavior.
It is possible to divide cheating into two within the relationship: "Emotional" and "Physical/Sexual". In other words, emotional or physical ties that the person in the relationship secretly establishes with someone outside the relationship are within the scope of cheating. It is important to remember this here: Every individual has his or her own definition of cheating. For example, while there may be people who do not see their partner forming an emotional bond with someone outside the relationship as cheating, there are individuals who think that this is cheating that can never be forgiven.
The lack of emotional needs in a healthy romantic relationship mentioned at the beginning may be one of the important reasons for cheating. Individuals inherently want to be understood and feel important. A person who cannot afford this from their current romantic partner may turn to cheating. On the other hand, communication, which is the most important tool in people's agreements, is also of great importance in romantic relationships. It is essential for both parties to be able to express themselves, not to be judged when they express themselves, and to be listened to and taken into account for the healthy progress of the relationship. If individuals cannot share their feelings, thoughts and problems with their partners, there is no healthy communication.
