Relationship: How Infidelity Affects Mental Health of Cheating Partner

Most people often ask what to do about the fact they are sleeping next to someone that has the capability to cause them harm, and not care at all they’re doing it. Most of them ask me if the cheater is capable of suffocating them to death in their sleep because the person has already proven they can hurt them with total disregard for their health.

What was just mentioned is a very common question once someone begins to accept the truth. As they grow, as they realize who they are as a person, the thing we hear most “I don’t even recognize them anymore” when they’re talking about the cheater.

People fall in love with the idea of love and all it can be. They sort of just stick the cheater into that role hoping that what’s in their mind, comes to light. With most people who are cheated on, they even somehow romanticize the cheating. They begin to think overcoming cheating has the first thing to do with love because they chose to live in denial.

No matter what the cheater did, even before they cheated, the cheated on always saw things as what they might be, not what they are.

The only way it effects the cheaters’ mental health, is still from a selfish standpoint. It’s why they are capable of cheating. And once that’s done, it’s all about them as usual with how sorry they say they are, the mistake they say they made, the pain it’s going to cause them losing someone, how they didn’t want to hurt the cheated on.

The only effect cheating has on the cheater, is when their fear is triggered because of what they might (and should) lose that benefits them. And because the cheated on wants to be loved so badly, everything the cheater says when they open their lying mouth, it fills a void in the cheated on because they want to believe someone is afraid to lose them when if that was the case, the cheating never would have happened in the first place.
