In my latest YourTango blog, I answer some difficult questions like “Why did my partner cheat? Is it my fault? Did I deserve it or do something wrong? Was it me?”
Sometimes people cheat to experience passion and aliveness – something, for whatever reason, they may not feel in their primary relationship. They want the vitality of an erotic connection, and they seek out a new partner who makes them feel sexy and wanted. Or they have an affair to get the emotional connection that they’re missing at home.
If you are the one being cheated on, it is useless to blame yourself. Take a good look at the part you play in the relationship issues that came before the affair. Clarify for yourself what was happening for both of you prior to this injury. Then move on to some serious self care.
