People reveal exactly why they wanted to cheat on their partners

People cheat for all sorts of reasons – but what makes someone consider cheating in the first place?

Users took to the anonymous confessions website Whisper to share their stories...

Sometimes it’s physical:

• I feel so guilty for even considering cheating, I just don’t know how to get my physical needs taken care of.
• Sex with my bf is awful. It’s the same thing every time. Bad kissing, almost zero foreplay. It makes me want to cheat, but he’s such a good person.
• I’m 23 and stuck in a marriage that is missing what I need most: passion, romance and sex. I’m considering cheating and it scares me.

Sometimes it’s emotional neglect, or being cheated on:

• When my boyfriend doesn’t pay attention to me I feel like cheating on him.
• My husband doesn’t want me. I feel like cheating on him just so he knows that somebody wants me.
• I am seriously considering cheating on my wife. She is a miserable person to be around but I don’t want to leave because of our son.
• My boyfriend has cheated on me so many times that it makes me want to cheat.

Or distance:

• I have a long-distance girlfriend, and sometimes I consider cheating on her because it’s so hard to be physically alone. But then I talk to her on the phone, and it’s like ‘why would I ever risk the best thing to ever happen to me?’

And sometimes, it’s something else entirely:

• Being completely faithful for years and constantly accused of cheating makes me want to cheat but I won’t.
• My wife is worried about me leaving her, and that makes me want to cheat on her. I don’t know why.
• My depression makes me want to cheat with someone who doesn’t already know how broken I am.
• I want a baby so bad I’m considering cheating on my husband to get pregnant.
• Having kids makes me want to cheat on my wife.
