Here’s why people cheat.
Human heart is a strange vessel to fill – it can have everything yet crave more. When one door closes in a relationship, you will definitely want to try to open other ones…even if the previous one opens. Because you see more behind the second door that opened which you did not see behind the first one.
This is to say, when you do not feel emotionally, physically and psychologically satiated with the efforts one partner makes for you instead craving more out of the relationship, you would normally want to seek those needs in another partner… which we term cheating in today’s world. And believe it or not, it is justified for some people.
They see it as simply a bridge to get closer to more of what they want; let it be love, sex, or just the usual high one gets from being involved with someone else.
Astrology can be used as a great tool to determine the possible reasons men cheat. Although it must be kept in mind that these reasons are genuine ones. Not everyone is the same; they only apply to men with same Zodiacs on a general level. Others might have different reasons for cheating on their partner the way they do.
Cancer
(June 22nd to July 22nd)
The Crab is a loyal partner in any relationship. Betrayal is just not in the cards for them. Because of their ability to hardly let go, they stick to one partner and remain loyal through thick and thin. The chances of them cheating on you, therefore, are quite less but still, it can happen. Cancerians only go for those with whom they can relate to emotionally. That being said, the major reason a Cancer man will cheat on you is because he doesn’t connect with you emotionally, or feels assured you understand his emotional side. And feelings mean everything to Cancerians. It’s very unlikely that they go for another partner because the guilt will just drive them nuts so they mostly tend to steer clear of cheating on their significant other.

Pisces
(February 19th to March 20th)
Huge romantics, Pisces are all about being selfless in love. Their love is unconditional, gentle and they are generous in bed, somewhat. The need to please their partner means a lot to them in a relationship, being selfless and all. So if you so much as make them feel unappreciated in any way, they will see you not pleased enough with the efforts they make, which would make them cheat on you. Going on to a new partner will allow them a new outlet to get the tenderness and appreciation they deserve. The need to be secure in a relationship is like the fuel for a Piscean. If they feel like they are not secure with you, or have doubts whether you will have their back no matter what, they will view their efforts for you not clear enough and giving it all to someone else who might do all that for them becomes the only option for them. Cheating on their partner is probably the last resort for Pisces.

(March 21st to April 19th)

When they fall in love, they fall hard, hence showering their partners with so much love and trust, it starts to rub off on their partner and they develop a false sense of security with the Aries man. It becomes hard to keep your Aries man satisfied due to his want of a new adventure most of the time…and this is the biggest reason they cheat on their significant other. Their intentions are not necessarily to hurt their partner although they cannot stand a dull, monotonous lifestyle and something thrilling must keep their focus on the hum and thrum of life. Finding that in someone else then becomes very likely for an Aries. And despite all of it, they continue to demonstrate such love to their first partner that there seems to be nothing wrong in the relationship. When they do cheat, therefore, it comes off as a huge surprise. You can also read our very famous articles on how to love an Aries and how you should be loved.

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

Everything aside, their need to be independent and successful in basically every sphere of life often builds up their ego, which is too much for some, at time. That being said, Leo men know pretty well how to draw the line between love and sex – which is what makes them good candidates for staying in an unemotional relationship with one person that is purely sexual. And because of their ego and the need to be where they want and get what they want, guilt is a useless emotion to them. If at one point your Leo partner becomes all up and about in love with you but the other needs in the relationship are not being fulfilled and vice versa, do not be surprised when you find him cheating on you. Here are some qualities of Leo women and how you should treat them the right way.
