Cheating in this particular term refers to the ability to develop intimate relations with a different person other than your current spouse. Many may define cheating based on having sexual intimacy with another person other than your current spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend or the person you are engaged to.

It is now defined in a much better complexity as defined to be cheating even when one develops intimate emotions of desiring a deeper connection with another individual aside from your spouse even when you have not engaged in sexual intimacies yet. This is because the thought is there, the feelings already exist and when you are being sexually intimate to your current spouse/partner, you only do it out of convenience to please them, but not to really be with them.

  1. He isolates his emotions and does not want to talk about it at all. They are also seen to become more silent than usual as they do not feel like socializing as much with their social circle of close friends and will deter the jolly mood they had while walking into the office.
  2. They can tend to engage in late night drinking as they avoid going home whether they are still living with the cheating spouse or living alone. This is because if they are living with the cheating spouse they don't want to have to see them and act like everything is ok, they are still hurting upon the realization the one person they trusted actually broke that trust selfishly. If they have moved out and are living alone they are not used having to go home to an empty house and the memory of the cheers in the previous relationship still linger on as a painful memory. Drinking as they report would help not have their minds focused on any of these things and when they get home all they have to do is sleep.
  3. Fear of loosing his family especially if he already has children. He fears he will lose custodial rights to his kids as he will merge a separation with his wife.
