Serial Relationship Cheating

This is defined as the act of having a series of indiscretions regardless if one is in a marriage or in any other kind of committed relationship. This kind of cheating is often referred to as a form of abuse which is also consequently a subject of a lot of debates.
Who cheats?

In a society where it is a generally accepted fact that men are polygamous by nature, you might be surprised to find out that women too can be serial cheaters. Women cheat just as men do and this is a fact that must be explored thoroughly especially by those who are in a relationship with a serial cheater.

Why serial cheating?

This term is coined in order to fully qualify the extent, gravity, and recurrence of the act of cheating. Some people cheat only once in the course of their entire relationship with a person while others do it more than once.
You can be considered a serial cheater if:

 You have cheated on your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner more than once in the course of your relationship
 You have cheated with more than one person.
 You have cheated again after reconciling with your significant other due to the same transgression.
 You cheat every time you are in a relationship with someone.

The effects of serial cheating in a marriage.

Any kind of cheating is destructive to a marriage. Serial cheating however is in a league of its own because it creates a cycle of mistrust and hurt. The most obvious ramification of this situation is the possibility of separation.

Women or men who have been cheated on repeatedly has a breaking point and when they reach it, there is very little that can be done to stop them from taking action which is usually to walk out the door.
Serial cheaters are also at risk because sooner or later they will find themselves all alone because they have ruined all the relationships they had.

What solution is there for serial cheating?

This is among the most difficult problems to address because there is no concrete scientific explanation for cheating repeatedly. One theory is an inability to establish intimacy due to emotional or physical absentee parents.Another is ego gratification often leading to more emptiness. Granted, there are very plausible psychological theories that explain why men and women cheat, there is no absolute cure for it either as it is not categorized as an illness in a strict medical or psychological context.

Some married couples, if one is a serial cheater, the best approach is still for the person (cheater) opt for therapy and counseling, find the roots of the behavior and have the desire to correct the cheating pattern
