I think the need for attention from others. I’ve always enjoyed being the center of attention (don’t know why exactly but it’s obviously not a good thing). So I would micro cheat on my exes. I think also even having slight thoughts of being afraid of commitment or wanting freedom is one of the only “early signs” if you’re asking this then you’re probably already having those thoughts and that is your early sign. Or thinking of your relationship ship as almost a “jail”
I slept with someone less than 12 hours after breaking up, so it felt a lot like cheating, especially after a 3 year relationship
Early signs were I lost attraction, the more I looked at him the more unattracted I felt towards him, he stopped caring about how he looked, greasy hair, gained a ton of weight, would go days without showering and smell bad and when I’d bring these things up he’d go “Heh, deal with it” And that just made me lose interest even faster.
I was in an abusive relationship because of trauma in my childhood I was afraid of breaking up with him. After 6 1/2 years I met a man who I immediately fall in love with- let’s say love at the first sign. I was in an abusive relationship, he was in an abusive relationship. We did all we could to not cheat but if u finally found your „home“ and on the other side have a home with someone abusive it’s an easy choice. The first kiss was like an explosion and we waited very long with first time having sex. We both broke up with our abusive partners and now we are engaged.
The conclusion I see for myself is that- cheating is bad Yes but sometimes it shows how unhappy u are. And no neither I nor my partner was able to „fix“ an abusive relationship.
It helped me to get out of a situation which was dangerous for my life.
I guess there’s always two sides of a story…
Now I finally feel a commitment in my relationship which I always was searching for.
My love life had gone from great, to meh and was headed for awful. I was afraid that my sex drive was dying. I’d been fantasizing about other guys for a while to help that. I was mad about a lot of little thing, cleaning, cooking, shopping and family plan scheduling. I was out of town and could get way with it undetected. I felt like I deserved it. I thought it might breath life into my sex life again.
I was getting tired of him. We’d hang out and I’d be exhausted after seeing him. I also felt lonely because id go over and he was already blackout drunk and asleep so often that I’d spend my time with his brother smoking weed and watching anime. It felt like I was being used for sex and then sent on my way. He had cheated twice already so towards the end of the relationship I decided to sleep with a guy off tinder and a couple of weeks later with a co-worker. I dumped him the week after and have been voluntarily celibate since then.
I became extremely emotionally unstable when they left me for long periods of time. I cried for days and didn’t get out of bed. I had no idea what “depression” was or attachment types were when we got together at 15…..
Sex addiction or something similar.
It’s not so much that I was struggling with commitment, I just thought I could get away with it. I’m fucking stupid and I acknowledge it and deserve the hard left my life took because of my weakness and idiocy. I can’t help but admit I’m turned on by cheating, so I stay away from anything beyond casual relationships.
I didn’t really have any friends at all growing up so I would cling on to any guy that showed interest. I just was happy someone kinda liked me even if we had nothing in common. But one day someone who did share my interests showed up…
