Cheating in relationships happen to both men and women, and for many varied reasons. The reasons of cheating on someone may however, change based off the person’s gender. To simply state, the reason a man cheats may be different than the reason a woman cheats in a relationship. There have been facts and as well as myths surrounding the topic of infidelity. Also, one person may have a different view on what is cheating, where on the other hand, another person may think cheating is the complete opposite. With this, there is not a full and official definition of cheating in a relationship, so this can make it difficult to actually know what exactly is or what is not cheating. I have been told what is cheating by one person, and later on would …show more content…
This happens more around so with people who are friends with one another. This does not mean that all close friends will end up doing this emotional infidelity, because that is not the case. Even though some people identify close friendships with cheating, it has been proven that this rarely happens between friends. This article “Types of Cheating in a Relationship” by Melody Causewell, talks about this and refer this to the “gray area”. Causewell says that “talking or sharing personal information” actually helps avoid friends getting into this situation, yet she claimed behaviors like “lying to one’s partner or engaging in flirting behaviors” are explicit and deceptive actions that people do when they are emotionally cheating in a relationship. Now, people always say that cheating is different between men and women, meaning that if a guy does something with another person, it could be considered cheating may not be considered cheating if it was a woman doing this same …show more content…
There are several types of effects that can happen in relationships once someone in the relationship is caught in the act. People define these in different ways. Some focus and feel more of the physical effects on a relationship, others more of the physiological or emotions they feel. With the physical signs, it’s more with how the relationship is afterward, and not as focused around the emotions both feel. For instance, when one is caught cheating, many things change. Yes, breaking up generally takes place, but what happens between the breakup or divorce is possibly living separately, and practically preparing for living by themselves once again. This effect is not the prime factor people think about after cheating takes place in their relationship, it is the physiological, or emotional feelings they receive. An article titled “The Effects of Cheating” by Stacy Lucas, goes in depth into the distinct effects people say they feel after either being caught or catching their loved one cheating. Summing up her article, she goes in depth with the grieving process. The grieving process, Shock, Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, which according to Lucas, is what many people feel after cheating takes place in their relationship. She mainly expresses her opinion on “feeling like you failed”, going on to say “From their actions you feel like a failure,

It is widely believed that men and women respond differently to infidelity in the way they think and act (Buss, Larsen, Westen & Semmelroth, 1992; Takahashi et al., 2006; Walum et al., 2013). Past research has found that women tend to report more
The three alternative explanations suggest that people cheat more at the end because they previous cheating opportunities have made them feel that they have earned the right to cheat, exhausted their self-control, or acclimated them to cheating. However, in this experiment the researchers decided to hold the number of previous cheating opportunities constant and manipulated the number of remaining opportunities, so they exposed two hypothesis:

Infidelity is depicted as an extremely negative thing in the United States, and is often blamed for trust issues, psychologically damaging the spouse and their children, tearing apart marriages and families and more. People who commit adultery are often shamed and told how wrong what they did is and what a terrible person they are for doing it. According to the Journal of Martial and Family by the Associated Press, however, 41% of “marriages where one or both spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional.” Clearly, while infidelity is generally viewed negative by society, many people either decide that it is not as negative as it is portrayed, or do not care and do it anyway. “The Lady with the Pet Dog” and “The Storm” both go against the typical view of adultery being a negative thing in a relationship by showing that it can actually have a beneficial outcome and leave some, if not all people happier.
What causes male infidelity in a marriage? Many can say it’s the ‘mid-life-crisis’ that makes a man want to make life changing decisions. Another reason may be that the man is miserable in his marriage and instead of telling his spouse about what’s wrong, he cheats. For many of these spouses’ “no one cares about [this issue] until it happens to them in their marriage” (Schorr). Ironically, men can have an affair by just simply being bored in their marriage. The fact is just sad that those men in marriages get bored within a few years of being married after their honeymoon. A husband may sleep with another person besides their soul mate to escape frustration in their relationship because, they see no other way out of a marriage except for having
Cheating is a big issue that has reached the most competitive campuses around the United States. It is increasing more and more with the new technology that we have in the 21st century because students have easy access to many sources of information. Cheating is something all students have done at some point in their lives, but as they reach a higher academic level, they are faced with more rigorous consequences that can affect their futures in many different ways. Cheating might be seen as an easy way to obtain a good grade, get into a good college, or maintain scholarships or financial aid, but the consequences could affect the life and the future of the student.
Cheating is defined in the dictionary as, to deceive by trickery; swindle, however the dictionary fails to tell you if it is right or wrong to cheat. People have many different beliefs when it comes to cheating; some think its fine to do while others completely disapprove. I intend to show the different beliefs, from different perspectives of people, and also intend on proving which beliefs have the strongest and weakest arguments.
People say cheating has so many forms, but the worst one would be cheating in a relationship. A cheater is someone who cheats on his partner; someone who systematically betrays his partner either on a physical or emotional level. About a week ago I thought cheating was okay,but now I realize the harm it could cause to their significant other. True love doesn’t hurt, true love protects, and cares. Cheating can cause someone to have a mental break down, and leads to a complete loss of respect. When it comes to relationships, remaining faithful is never an option; loyalty is everything.
The first form of adultery is Accidental Infidelity. This can happen to the more careless person, but at the same time, to the person whose values and commitments are tenuous. They lack self-control and respect for both themselves and their spouse. Any situation where they are left alone with the opposite sex is an opportunity for an “accident” to occur. It was shocking to find out that most cases of infidelity occur with couples who are less than twenty -five years old, one would have thought early marriages where happy and care free (figure one).
Cheating, no matter how innocent it may seem to be, is so destructive to relationships. The credibility of the cheater is shattered, and there may well be a permanent breakdown of trust. Out of fear and human weakness, a person may be tempted to seek refuge by cheating. That is the course of least resistance or mistaken kindness.
Honesty and integrity are very important in the medical field. We as healthcare workers are given such trust and responsibility. We should always strive to do our best and when faced with tough situations. When we don't always know what to do or the proper way to react we should always be honest. Let our superiors know what is going on and ask for advice when we need to. This would show that we are honest. When we come into contact with patients they rely on us to do the right thing and always perform our job with integrity. Often people’s lives are in our hands. We have to care about the patient and care about our job in order to continue to provide quality care. If someone hates their job they are not going to give their best in every way they can. The medical field is not a place for that person.

As humans, we are constantly building relationships with others and meeting new people, but sometimes it 's hard to maintain a relationship with another person, when only one person is engaged in it. All healthy relationships or friendships should be based upon the concepts of caring, supporting, and spending time with each other, and if one person is not able to provide these concepts towards the other person, then the relationship quickly becomes one-sided.
Relationships, to me, are very important to have in your life. Some people may think of one of the most common relationships, which would be romantic. However, when I think of relationships, I personally think of the people around you. Anyone in your life has a relationship with you. These relationships aren’t always good, but they aren’t always bad either. In my life, the relationships I have are shared with family, friends, teachers, etc. However, I am surrounded everyday with “adult” relationships, team relationships, and more.
