1. A Fear of Commitment
Your man could be cheating because he's afraid to settle down with one person. Although men may like having the security of sharing a home with a long-term partner, they sometimes don't like the image of being "tied down" to one person. What they prefer instead is to keep their options open. Sometimes they miss the point that a relationship can be fun and they don't have to seek out a new person. So don't forget to inject some fun into your relationship; do something different together or go somewhere you've never been before.
2. The Ego Boost
Sometimes men can feel insecure abut themselves and will cheat in an attempt to combat these feelings of inadequacy. They may find the thrill of chase invigorating and want to boost their confidence this way. If another woman reacts to his attention, he may take it further to boost his ego even more.
3. You Have Grown Apart
It's a fact of life that some people continue to change and grow throughout their lives while others remain staid in their ways. You may find that the two of you have grown apart and have little common ground anymore other than the fact that you share the same house. He may have met a woman who he now feels shares more of his interests than you do and may want to spend time with her for this reason.
4. More Fighting More Than Fun
Sometimes men cheat to escape a volatile relationship. If you are arguing more than you are enjoying time together, this may be the case. Try to communicate your feelings honestly in a calm manner and don't get upset if you don't like what he has to say about them. Keep the communication channels open, but don't force the issue if he's not ready to discuss it. Be attentive to his thoughts and feelings so that he knows you will be there to listen to him when he does want to talk.
5. Your Sex Life Has Lost Its Passion
If your sex life has become mundane, your partner may look for some sexual excitement elsewhere. Just because you have been in a steady relationship for some time doesn't mean you should stop trying to keep your sex life fresh and passionate. Make the effort to spice it up before it shifts from begin boring to non-existent. Surprise your partner with something new and spontaneous.
