Infidelity, 5 Key Signs That a Person Is Inclined to Infidelity

For many of us infidelity is the relationship monster that we hope never to encounter. We know that this relationship ogre is out there but we earnestly hope and pray that we never bump into it. But are there ways to identify a person who is prone to infidelity? What are the warning signs that a partner is predisposed to infidelity?

1. Belief that rules are to be broken. This is a person who believes that they can break the rules that normal mortals keep and that they will get away Scot free. This person will often boast of their rule breaking exploits and genuinely see nothing wrong with their behavior. They enjoy breaking rules and believe that there are no consequences to their behavior or that if there are any incidental consequences to their rule breaking they will be well worth the fun they get from the rule breaking. Their disrespect for rules tends to carry on into their relationship and they will also break the rules there.

2. They have a history of infidelity. They truly do not believe that infidelity is a big deal. I know you believe that you will be the one to change them but the stronger likelihood is that they may change for a while but they will slip back to their old ways sooner or later. As you get to know them you will realize that they really don't see what the big deal is with infidelity. And that they have what seem to be plausible reasons why they have cheated in their past but remember that people who don't learn from their past will repeat that past.

3. They never take responsibility for their actions. They always blame others for their failings. If they do something wrong then they will blame the misdeed on something or someone else. They blame their upbringing or their past or the fact that they woke up on the wrong side of the bed etc. whatever it is...it is never their fault. Because they are not to blame then will not make any effort to remain faithful since it's beyond their control. Does your partner blame everyone and everything for their mistakes? Then they are inclined to infidelity.

4. They believe that they just cannot be faithful to a partner, what with all the attractive people around. They simply do not belief in exercising self control as they just want to sample everything that is available to them. You may be really attracted to them but their attitude is a recipe to infidelity and unhappiness for you.

5. They grew up in a home where one or both parents were unfaithful to the other. They may truly resent the behavior that they saw at home but many still tend to repeat that behavior. We tend to repeat the behavior of our parents as the effect of parents on children tends to be very strong. And if a parent was unfaithful then their child is able to give them-self permission to be unfaithful when that moment comes.

A person who does not respect social norms and who has a misplaced attitude to infidelity is an infidelity time bomb that will go off sooner or later. This will bring untold unhappiness to you and to them as they simply do not understand the damage that their cheating ways will rain on you both.
