There are numerous reasons for people to betray someone’s trust or commit an act of infidelity. It depends on the circumstances and needs of the people involved. • In general, the reasons can be divided into two main groups - to save the relationship or to end it.
Sometimes betrayals occur when a person wants a concrete reason to end the relationship. • There may be problems that have slowly escalated leading to a breakdown in the relationship but neither party wants to be the one to end it.
Having an affair or betraying the other party can seem like a simple way to get out of the relationship without having to deal with the real reason for the relationship breakdown.
There are some cases where the perpetrator may carry out an affair or betrayal as a way to seek pleasure, excitement or opportunity. • It may even be to increase their social recognition or to raise their self esteem.
This creates a very unbalanced relationship as that person is putting their need for gratification ahead of the needs of the people around them.
