14 Prayers for a Cheating Husband or Boyfriend

Cheating is also referred to as infidelity, straying, adultery, being unfaithful or having an affair.It is breaking of trust or violating a contract/rules of emotional or sexual exclusivity.

• What counts as infidelity

It is difficult to define infidelity because people differ on what they feel is cheating. Some people believe it is not acceptable for a partner to:

• Flirt.
• Have a sexual talk with someone else.
• Exchange texts or emails.
• Talk too much to a person of opposite sex.
• Chat with someone else online.
• Share deep intimate information and thoughts with someone else.
• Become emotionally involved with someone else
• Become physically intimate with someone else.

The definition of infidelity depends on each couple and the boundaries they have set in their marriage or relationship.

Most people have the instincts that they are being cheated on but they don't trust this instincts.They are therefore the last to know and they end up devastated once they learn about it.They wish they had paid attention to those signs they had seen.

Below are some signs of infidelity that one should watch out for.

1. The attitude towards you changes.He becomes critical of things and picks fights with you often.He speaks to you sarcastically
2. Becomes distant.This is because he cannot handle to love two people at a go and because he is closer to someone else,he pushes you away.
3. He lacks interest in the relationship
4. He changes and pays attention to his appearance,wears cologne and gets dressed well more often and unnecessarily.
5. Stops wearing his wedding ring.
6. He becomes secretive and discreet.He is afraid to keep his phone out of sight.
7. He is frequently not available and can't be reached on phone.
8. He suddenly becomes busy working longer hours.
9. He prefers to go places alone and not to be seen with you.
10. His telephone manners begin to change.He has to leave when picking a call, ends a call when you enter a room or deletes numbers from the caller ID.

I was careful to say some men cheat because not all men cheat.There are faithful and godly men out there and alot of marriages are awesome and doing great.People betray others in a relationship for many resons but there is no valid reason to actually cheat.One should walk away if they feel compelled to be unfaithful instead of hurting the other person.

Below are common reasons and excuses men give as to why they cheat.

1. Because there is an opportunity.
2. For adventure and thrill.
3. Denial of conjugal rights by his wife.
4. Sexual dissatisfaction.
5. Lack of appreciation.
6. Lack of emotional connection with the girlfriend or wife.
7. Small arguments at home.
8. The wife is not fun and attractive anymore.
9. Anger and resentment towards the wife
10. Peer pressure.His friends are cheating so he joins them so as to look "cool".
11. Greed and lack of self control.
12. To get money ,finacial and material support from an older woman(sugar mama)
13. The classic one " I was drunk".

All the reasons above are vague reasons and excuses.Men who become unfaithful make the decision to do so...no excuses...you can either say yes or no to cheating, all the other reasons are used to justify the betrayal.Just like love is a choice,cheating too is a choice.Once we as human beings forget those vows we took looking each other in the eyes, we forget the foundation of our marriages and invite disaster.Infidelity occurs when the love of self exceeds the sacrifice of the union.

• No woman should blame herself for her man cheating. Men don't cheat because they lack anything in particular. Not that they dont love, not that they are not satisfied at home, etc etc. It's because they want to cheat and make that choice to do so.

Being betrayed is really painful and for most people it takes months if not years to heal.It's not easy because of the trust that was there.Below are some tips on how to heal after being cheated on.

1. Forget the past and don't dwell on it.Stop rehearsing what happen we because it will delay your healing process.
2. Forgive.“Forgiveness is a choice. It doesn’t mean what your partner did is OK. Unforgiveness will always keep you bitter and angry. It will destroy you and not the other person.
3. Don't compare yourself with the person he was cheating you with.
4. Cry it out.Don't bottle up emotions. Release that pain,stay in bed for as long as you want and cry.
5. Get a therapist.He or she will help you direct your energy to so!ethimgelse and can also help you if you have issues such as confidence.
6. Take care of yourself.Workout and dress well.Dressing well will make you feel good about yourself.
