Cheating is a common thing among couples today. There are several reasons why people cheat including lust and loss of love for their partners.
In this piece, I will take you through the 5 different types of cheating.
1. Opportunistic
This type of cheating is driven by situational circumstances or opportunity. One succumbs to their sexual desire for someone else and uses available opportunities to cheat.
2. Romantic
This happens when one has the efforts to keep his or her marriage work but seeks to satisfy his need for romance with someone else without wanting to destroy the marriage.
3. Emotional
This, in simple terms is having inappropriate friendship with someone of opposite sex. It's like a man being too emotionally attached to a woman who he considers a friend. Same to a woman being emotionally close to a man she sees as a friend.
4. Energetic cheating
This can be invisible to the eye but can sometimes turn into observable actions. This can be inappropriate thoughts about someone and fantasizing about someone else as you get intimate with your partner.
5. Social media
Another form of cheating is through social media. This includes having romantic social partners on various social media apps and dating sites who you flirt with secretly and share intimate photos.
