People cheat for a variety of reasons, sometimes the problem lies with the individual and sometimes with their partner.
Some cheat out of immaturity, sometimes cheating is the result of painful relationships from the past, and sometimes it's revenge. Sometimes, as strange as it sounds, people cheat even if they love their partner. The thing that has the greatest influence on whether there will be cheating in a relationship is the relationship itself.
There are things that can influence whether a person will cheat or choose to be faithful. Recent ones research, which dealt with this topic, came up with interesting answers.

Think about it: if you truly love someone and have given yourself completely, your partner will have less desire to drift away to someone else and cheat on you; unless there is some other problem, such as an inability to connect emotionally.
A committed relationship is based on mutual trust, honesty, openness and love. Devotion or commitment also means that a person has a desire for the relationship to develop in the right direction, but of course deception and a strong desire to make the relationship last do not go hand in hand.

10 hidden signs that your partner is cheating
When cheating is mentioned, many people first think of having sex. But there is an even more painful form of cheating for some - emotional cheating.
You will feel how your partner is cooling down, how his emotional world is turned to the phone. There will be many more smiles and happiness for him than for you. And it will leave a deep mark on your relationship.
How do you know this is happening? What are the signs that your partner is cheating on you and can you see them in both emotional and sexual cheating?
1. Their special friend is always more important than you
If there's that other person in your partner's life that you're constantly fighting over, there could be something going on between them. Especially if he pays a lot more attention to her than to you. He seems to care more about her than you do. Bringing it up makes him look jealous and controlling.
2. He doesn't change his plans because of you
If your partner used to take advantage of every opportunity to be with you, now he doesn't want to give up hanging out with friends to spend the evening together. Ask yourself why.
3. He/she is suddenly obsessed with social networks
If until now he was not interested in social networks and technology at all, but now he spends all his time with a mobile phone in his hand, studying Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, maybe there is a reason for this. If it suddenly stops typing when you enter the room, think about it
4. He doesn't want to lend you his phone
Not only do they love being on their phone, but it seems to hide it from your view. If your partner gets scared when you approach him or just wants to move his phone, these are very obvious signs. Did he suddenly set a million new passwords on it?
5. He works more and longer than usual at a time
If he's always claimed to work eight hours and not a minute more, and now suddenly he's staying at work for hours and hours longer, it might be time to question his loyalty. Especially if he often and enthusiastically mentions the name of the person with whom he spends this time.
6. He stops telling you about his feelings
It is possible that he is telling someone else about his feelings. He doesn't show you love anymore. He doesn't confide in his problems and doesn't talk about his day anymore. These are all signs that he is moving away from you a bit.
7. Whenever you mention cheating, he makes you think you're crazy
Whenever you mention a certain person, your partner takes an offensive attack stance. In some cases, he criticizes you and accuses you of being crazy. These are all signs that this person is special to him.
8. You doubt yourself because of your partner
Criticism directed at you can cause your self-esteem to drop.
9. Cancels plans to be with someone else
While you can't wait to have dinner with him at a restaurant you arranged months ago and he knows it well, he suddenly cancels it because he has plans with someone else. You have good reason to doubt him.
10. When he/she is with you, even the smallest details turn him/her on
And even a casual conversation ends in an argument. Imagine yourself and put it before the facts.
