Cheating in a relationship is often seen as something that happens in a moment.
You have one drink too many and make a bad call. Your coworker touches your arm and you fall into a kiss. An old flame calls you to say they’ll be in town before teasing out their hotel room number.
In reality, every act of cheating takes place within a chain of events. It’s a build up by numerous contributing circumstances, including (but not limited to) what you learned about love and self-worth as a child, the state of your current relationship and how much your sex drive factors into your life.
