It's one of the most painful questions people ask after discovering a betrayal. Whether you're trying to make sense of your own experience or better understand relationship dynamics, the answer is rarely as simple as it seems.

In episode 4 of Inside Aromacee, we explore some of the most common reasons infidelity happens, including emotional disconnection, poor communication, unmet needs, low self-esteem, weak boundaries, opportunity, and personal choice.

Understanding why cheating happens does not excuse it. However, it can help individuals and couples make sense of what happened and begin the process of healing and repair.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Common causes of infidelity

• Why emotional disconnection can create vulnerability

• The role of communication in relationships

• How validation, boundaries and personal struggles can contribute

• Why understanding the cause is different from excusing the behaviour.

If you've experienced betrayal, remember that the responsibility for cheating always lies with the person who made that choice.
