JAKARTA - According to Kelly Campbell, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology and Human Development at the University of California, San Bernardino, there are many reasons people cheat, but she's not saying that it's a bad thing people do.

Kelly Campbell said that "we don't know that humans are meant to be monogamous or not, it's just that some people are more in line with the idea of practicing monogamy and some are not". Wednesday, January 5th.

There is distance in relationship

One of the red flags in a relationship is when there is distance between you and your partner. You can't be free to communicate just to complain to each other. There is an uncomfortable feeling that makes you shut yourself off. This is what can eventually lead to infidelity.

Always feel something is missing

In relationships, your differences are seen as flaws. In fact, this difference should be a balance between you and the him. One of them ends up feeling that he is always at a disadvantage.

Narcissistic behavior

People who have narcissistic behavior are more likely to engage in infidelity. Look at your partner's behavior, whether they have narcissistic tendencies or not.

There are many reasons people have an affair. However, according to Campbell himself, the reasons usually fall into three categories, namely individual, relationship, and situational. For individuals, this relates to the phrase "once a cheater, always a cheater" which comes directly from the person's personality.

For the relationship category, cheating occurs because of dissatisfaction, which triggers a fight and looks for a third person.

Meanwhile, for situational reasons, it occurs because of the urge to have an affair. It could be that his environment does support his decision to cheat.

The next step after knowing bad things from your partner, you need to think carefully about the continuation of your relationship. Can you trust the partner who cheated on you again? Have high self-esteem and realize that you are valuable, that's what Campbell says.
