Two Reasons Men Cheat on a Girlfriend
Men become more likely to cheat when they question their worth as a partner in a current relationship.
Below are two reasons men cheat on a girlfriend.
Low Self Esteem Whether men like to admit it or not, there is a high level of maintenance needed to support their ego.
Every fight, argument and relationship has the power to alter his self image.
If your current relationship is strained resulting in a lack of intimacy it doesn't trigger a need for physical contact.
It does, however, bring into question his view of the current relationship.
"Am I a good partner?", "Did I mess up another relationship?", are common questions men struggle with when relationships begin to fail.
Instead of addressing issues in the current relationship, some men find it easier to seek validation from a second partner.
If you lack a healthy line of communication, and find it difficult to talk without arguing, he may compensate by finding someone he can talk to without fighting.
It's false reasoning, but he can repair his ego by supplementing your relationship with other people.
When he relies too heavily on other women to make his self image feel whole, he becomes more likely to engage in a physical relationship with another woman.
Reunion With An Ex Girlfriend If your boyfriend has past relationships with unresolved issues, the opportunity to rekindle a romance could be too tempting to pass.
If the previous breakup wasn't his choice, it most likely left him with doubts about his worth as a partner.
If he was dumped, or rejected, he might view a new relationship with his ex girlfriend as a way to heal his ego.
Initially you may not feel threatened by a friendship with his ex, but you may not fully understand the impact a past relationship had on him emotionally.
He may not want to disclose the importance of a past relationship fearing it may spark a jealous rift with his current girlfriend.
You don't need to ban all contact with previous partners to maintain a faithful boyfriend.
If he understands his value in his current relationship, there will be little need to seek validation from previous partners.
