Inside the Cheater's Mind

There is a reason why people cheat.
Most people don't cheat to hurt their partner.

However, people demonize cheaters, seeing the behavior as a reflection on their moral character. Then they lump all cheaters into one big 'he's-a-dirt bag' or 'she's-a-slut' category.

Dr. Denise Wood wrote Inside the Cheater's Mind: Why He Wants to Cheat & Why She Wants to Cheat to dispel this myth. While Dr. Wood doesn't condone cheating, she believes that understanding rather than condemnation is more likely to save the relationship.

As a doctor of clinical psychology, Dr. Wood believes cheating should be looked at no differently than any other mental health issue. Cheating flags the marriage that it is a broken system, rather than writing it off as a character flaw that can never be fixed and maintained.

Inside the Cheater's Mind is a compilation of Dr. Wood's brilliant original study into personality cheaters and situational cheaters that highlight the motivation of why someone will cheat on his or her partner. These motivations provide insight into the mindset of a cheater. Do you know these cheaters?
