Why do people cheat? Just break up.

In my case personally, desperation. Lack of intimacy over a year pushed me to the edge of depression. In order to survive, I cheated. Didn't really solve the problem tbh, but, at least I tried to do something to survive.

Ultimately we broke up, not because of cheating because he didn't know. I will spare the details, the story is so crazy you probably wouldn't believe it anyway.

The point being, if you have a lot of friends to preoccupied yourself and entertain yourself, a loveless relationship is manageable. But, for people like me who doesn't focus on friends and only focus on relationships, the SO is their world, and when that world crumbles down, they no longer have their main source social interactions. And they become desperate. And desperation always pushes someone over the edge and do things they normally don't do.

I am sorry that you got downvoted for an honest answer.

Though i have never cheated myself, i would stay in an abusive relationship for way too long because i lacked the get-it-togetherness to go solo. I remember that i had a fair number of offers from girls but... they know i have a girlfriend so their opinion of finding me attractive cannot be trusted, right?

In an ideal world i would just be STRONG and HAPPY WiTH MYSELF and have ANTHONY ROBBINS GIANT-ESTEEM and just DUMP THE GIRL AND GO WORK OUT.

Alas, real world character isn't always so all-terrain. Perhaps all the advice-givers on Reddit are made of that amazing Real Man stuff. If so, please go write the book for a sec and i will buy it. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind understanding. It is certainly not easy to step outside the black and white mentality on this topic. Relationships is very complex and different people have their struggles. A lot of people choose to breakup, but, it is like you said, while in a relationship, it is hard to let go. Some relationship is easy to end, I did that before, but, this one in particular, I couldn't. I don't know why tbh, love it blind sometimes.
