Random Reasons Why People Cheated On Their Significant Other (15 items)

• (#10) He Cheated To Be With Someone Who Was Basically His Twin

  From Reddit user RedPantyKnight: 

  "I just met someone so much better for me. I met someone that was basically my female twin and we hit it off instantly. I ended up breaking up with the girl I was with and dating her for 6 months. Turns out there's such a thing as [being] too much alike."
• (#4) She Was An Unknowing Accessory To Cheating

  From Reddit user PeanutPhotography:

  "I was the mistress in a marriage. The guy was an old bf from high school; we dated off and on. When we were off he would date this girl Kelly, and when we broke up for the final time he went and married her. Almost a year after we broke up, I was back in town on summer break from college and ran into him at my summer job.

  He gave me this sob story about how Kelly wanted a divorce and was taking his kid from him. I (stupidly) believed him, we exchanged numbers, started talking daily. He invited me over to 'his' apartment, showed me his divorce paperwork, and ultimately things got sexual for a couple weeks.

  One day I swung by to pick up a pair of earrings I'd forgotten the day before. His best friend from high school answered the door. I asked if guy was around, best friend said no why would he? Turned out Guy was actually house sitting for best friend, it wasn't his apartment. Best friend also informed me that Guy and Kelly were in the process of BUYING A HOUSE, their marriage was fine.

  I was livid and disgusted. I went to work the following day, and in walks Kelly. I ask her what she's doing later that night and if she's available to talk. We meet up after I get off and I lay it all out for her. She teared up a bit, but ultimately she was pissed. She gives me their address and tells me to show up there unannounced the next day.

  I do and Guy is white as a sheet trying to get me to leave. Kelly shows up and they end up in a screaming match. So Guy ended up getting divorced and settled with a chunk of child support because Kelly informed the right people about Guys pot plants. None of us talk anymore. When I think about it, I have to shower at least twice."
• (#2) His Boyfriend Abused Him And Accused Him Of Cheating So He Decided To Do What He Was Accused Of

  From Reddit user Zarbi92 255:

  "He kept accusing me of cheating all the time, beating me for it, would never believe me that I wasn't. For about a year he would do this, accuse me, beat me until he was satisfied with my punishment, and then tell me he forgave me for a week or so. After a year or so of this I started getting emotionally connected to a friend of his sister and sister's wife. We never slept together, kissed, or did anything physical. We didn't even talk about anything physical. But he took me on a few dates. I figured since I'm being punished for it and he won't believe me that I'm not, I might as well just do it. He also informed me that I was being abused and that good men do exist. I still feel awful about it. The fact that I knew what I was doing was wrong but at the same time, those dates were amazing and gave me the confidence to leave my ex...

  Also it turned out he was cheating the whole time."
• (#3) He Cheated Because He Fell In Love At First Sight

  From Reddit user optimaloutcome:

  "I was young, 19. I had been with a girl for a year when my parents decided I needed to pay rent, so I found a roommate and got an apartment. Day one, I go to the office to turn in my walk through paperwork. The girl in the office made my heart skip. She made me a believer in the idea of love at first sight.

  She moved in across from my apartment a couple weeks later and we started to hang out. One night we slept together. The next day I broke up with my girlfriend. Me and new girl talked and we both wanted to be together.

  She moved in with me a month later. That was 17 years ago. She's currently asleep upstairs next to our daughter."
• (#9) Her Cheating Partner Enticed Her With Settlers Of Catan and Mozzarella Sticks

  From Reddit user littlelighteninggirl:

  "My ex-husband and I weren't even sleeping in the same room when I met my affair. Ex just wasn't interested in sex - and it was causing so many fights because I was so unsatisfied.

  I met my affair on WoW, and we knew each other for about a year and had never flirted or anything like that. One day I found out that he had Settlers of Catan and mozzarella sticks... and lived an hour and a half away. I hopped in the car and drove down and we hit it off really well.

  He didn't know I was married at the time. I really needed to get laid... it had been about six months. At least.

  The affair never ended. Or I guess it officially ended when my divorce was finalized. He and I are married now and have been together for six years."
• (#8) She Was Unhappy And She Didn't Respect Her Husband

  From Reddit user The_Two_Trees:

  "I was in a dud of a marriage. I married too young and against my better judgment. My husband was a controlling and sexually repressed man who did not respect me and I did not respect him.

  I found out that my husband was on dating sites and talking to women online attempting to solicit dates. He was actively seeking to cheat and the only thing stopping him from taking it to a physical realm was the fact that none of the women were interested in him.
  We worked on our marriage over the years to try to resolve his online cheating, but he'd always start up again. Eventually I got so emotionally worn out by it that I just didn't have it in me to care much anymore.

  I met a man at work who I was instantly attracted to on a mental and a physical level -something I'd never had with my husband. We started out with harmless conversations and became work friends. We then found excuses to text each other when not at work. We'd grab lunch together here and there...at first with groups and then with just the two of us. I couldn't wait to go to work every day and see him. I thought about him all the time. I knew I was heading toward dangerous ground but I didn't want to stop.

  We started flirting and I began to sneak away from home to meet up with him for hikes, dinner, you name it. I met up with him for hours at a time on evenings and weekends, and my husband never really noticed because his attention was always occupied with his friends or his online chats with women.

  My friend from work and I were always careful not to make physical contact, until one day in his car when he leaned over to help me with my jammed seat belt and he kissed me. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever felt in my life.

  Over the next few weeks meeting up to have dinner turned into meeting up to find a secluded spot and make out in his car. Then that eventually turned into groping, hand jobs, oral sex...you get the idea. I could not get enough of this guy.

  I felt tremendously guilty the entire time because I never thought of myself as the type who would cheat. I came clean with my husband before my affair progressed any deeper. I broke off the affair and agreed to try marriage counseling."
