Why do men and women cheat?
A cheating partner is something that every person in a relationship secretly fears. But why do people cheat? Why aren’t we all built to be monogamous? It appears that we may actually not be programmed to stay faithful and research is backing up that theory.
Studies carried out on both men and women have shown that the first flush of love is actually just a chemical reaction that literally fades after about a year.
The euphoria, feelings of dependence, and stomach butterflies that envelop new lovers are apparently the effects of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that floods the blood-stream a the onset of a romantic relationship.
In fact, the University of Pavia in Italy found that bv the time most of the 58 couples they studied had been together for a year, their NGF levels had been returned to normal. Even if they still loved each other, it wasn’t the same as when they’d first fallen in love.
Dr Lance Workman, head of psychology at Bath Spa University, said: “Research has suggested that romantic love fades after a few years and becomes companionate love and it seems certain biological factors play a role. But while we are a pair-bonding species, there is some doubt over whether this is within monogamous relationships or not.”
