Let’s just start by saying “everyone knows exactly what they’re doing”. Cheating never really just happens, it comes from a preconceived idea that is nurtured with time till it is acted out.
Read with context…
When we talk about cheating, it comes on different types and forms and they are:
Emotional cheating
Micro cheating and
Physical cheating
For the sake of this conversation we’ll focus on physical cheating (while subtly touching on the other two along the way)
For easier understanding I’ve broken it down to three phases:
CONCEPTION- INCUBATION- MATERIALIZATION
Conception phase where you begin to see or notice something about someone that intrigues and attracts you. It starts as subtle admiration or observation that may be harmless.
If you like someone for their looks, it’s obsession.
If you like someone for their kindness , it’s admiration.
If you like someone for their money, it’s interest.
If you like someone through think and thick, it’s genuine commitment.
If you love someone because they love you, it’s empathy.
If you love someone for the way they make you laugh, it’s humour based affection.
If like someone for their mind and their knowledge, it’s intellectual attraction.
If like someone even when you’re far apart, it’s emotional connection.
But if you’re confused and you don’t understand why you like this person, but you’re certain within you with every fiber of your being that you like this person and would go to the ends of the world
