Why do people cheat on people they love?

There are countless reasons for infidelity. Some may feel their reason is as simple as wanting to be accepted, respected, loved, wanted, or praised (the things they likely feel they aren’t getting in their current relationship). Others feel their reasons are more complex and may have to do with a kink identity or polyamory identity. The reasons vary from person-to-person, sometimes it is helpful to understand the reason and other times it is helpful to focus more on the future.
