One might think that a cheater would have a partner who cheats on them too, but that’s not always the case. People who cheat sometimes end up with the most faithful partners. While they are committed to sleeping around, their boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, or husbands remain faithful to them. It makes you wonder why that is.
1. They Are Emotionally Available
A cheater understands how the game works. They know that when they are emotionally available, their partner will be invested in them.
Regardless of gender, as long as your partner is emotionally available and caters to your emotional needs, there’s a high chance you’ll be drawn to them. Cheaters know this. Some people might not be cheating on their partners, but they are emotionally unavailable, and once they become unavailable, their partners get distracted.
They begin to gravitate toward other people who show them emotional care and support. Cheaters, on the other hand, know that what they’re doing is wrong, but they try to make up for it by being emotionally available. They interact with their partners often, show concern for their partner’s well-being, and, by being emotionally available, they are able to hold their partners down.
Emotional support cannot be overstated in a relationship. That’s one of the reasons cheaters are able to have the most faithful partners, even though they aren’t faithful themselves.
2. They Know the Right Things to Say and Do
Relationships are about words and actions. You have to know what to say and do at the right time. People gravitate toward what they see and hear. If your partner says the right things to you, you’ll naturally be drawn to them. It gets even better when your partner does the right things. Action speaks louder than words.
Cheaters understand this very well. Despite cheating, as long as they say and do the right things, their partners will be drawn to them. Because their partners are drawn to them, they don’t want to offend or upset them, so they remain faithful.
It isn’t easy to find someone who always knows the right things to say and do. Cheaters have that under control. They always have the right words and take the right actions, and that’s one of the reasons they have very faithful partners.
3. They Compensate for Their Cheating in Other Areas
A cheater knows what they’re doing isn’t right, so they make an effort to do well in other areas of the relationship. It’s like guilt pushes them to go the extra mile to please their partner. Whether you like it or not, this matters. People will always remember what you do to them, even if they don’t always remember what you say.
A cheater knows this. They think, “I might not be faithful, but I will show up in other areas.” They make up for their cheating in other aspects of the relationship, and their partners get so distracted by these efforts that it becomes difficult to notice the cheating.
Cheaters often go the extra mile in other areas, and as a result of their effort, they tend to have very faithful partners.
4. They Are Not Overbearing
One of the easiest ways to drive someone away in a relationship is to be controlling. Nobody wants to feel suffocated. Cheaters understand this. Because they cheat, they tend to be laid-back. They think they aren’t perfect, so they cut their partner some slack. They don’t trail every move, monitor every action, or be overly judgmental.
Who doesn’t want to be with someone who isn’t overbearing, someone who allows you to be yourself? Everybody wants that. Since cheaters offer this freedom in a relationship, they tend to have very faithful partners.
Cheaters have faithful partners because they do right by those partners, meeting their emotional, financial, and physical needs. These partners feel seen and cared for, so they don’t see the need to look elsewhere. They aren’t bothered that their lovers are cheating on them because they are pleased with their relationships.
