How many myths about cheating are there? A huge number.
Some people believe that after this unpleasant incident all couples break up, while others believe that both are equally to blame.
Cheating always becomes a reason for a breakup
In fact, this is not quite true. The only truth is that the relationship will no longer be the same. After all, this event does not leave the partners indifferent. Each one has emotions. The partner who suffered is offended. And the one who cheated feels guilty. But the couple does not necessarily break up.
Psychologists are sure that after this the couple will even get closer, but not by magic. They will have to do some work aimed at restoring the lost trust. The relationship will literally have to be built anew. Although most often the marriage still falls apart.
They usually cheat with people they don't know.
This myth was created by fiction. So the hero drinks at a bar and spends the night with a complete stranger. But in real life, everything is much more complicated, especially for women. They communicate with a person, get to know him, and only then spend the night with him.
There will be no cheating in the new relationship
This is the mistake most often made by those who have previously been part of a love triangle. They naively believe that they can build a relationship with a person without cheating. The truth is that the one who was previously prone to cheating will again find someone on the side.
Men are more likely to cheat than women
This myth has only a small grain of truth. It lies in the fact that the representatives of the stronger sex declare it more actively. In practice, the percentage of betrayals is approximately the same.
A person who cheated is unhappy in the relationship
Women usually believe this. They believe that if a man gets everything at home, he will never look at other women. It is precisely the unloved and uncared for man who is prone to such actions.
The truth is that nothing will affect the fact of cheating or not. It depends on the person themselves, not on how they feel in the marriage.
