Why Cheat

Culture links societies together, it is our collective way of life. It influences our laws and the boundaries we create. Culture, contrary to what most people think, is dynamic; it changes over time.

Talking about change, one of the things that have really changed is our perception of infidelity. There was a time infidelity was a taboo, a shameful thing to hear about or even think about, people felt guilty for even being in an environment where it was discussed. However, things seem to be different today. Recently, a scandal broke out when hackers made public the database of a website which specialises in connecting married people who want to cheat. It is shocking to know that such a business exists.

What really is cheating? Is it spending time in the chat room or is it about sex? Why do people cheat? We believe cheating is when you share an intimate and romantic expression of love with someone who is not your spouse - emotional or physical.

Are you flirting? Are you staying back late at work to spend more time with someone? Are you discussing something intimate with something who is not your spouse? Are you having an emotional affair? Are you keeping your meetings and conversations with someone secret?

ACTION POINT: Seek help today. Step out of the dark; open up; put boundaries around your life.
