It is not easy for a person to admit that he is wrong! As a matter of fact, as a defense mechanism, everyone comes up with an excuse. Even people who cheat in relationships have something to say. Below are some of the statements that they like to give.

“Intimacy died in our relationship”

This is by far the most shameless reason that some cheaters use. Cheating to have sex? That actually explains that they cannot control their sex drive and will take off their pants just about anywhere. Think about Tiger Woods to understand why such an excuse often turns the cheater into a joke.

“My partner does not give me enough time”

This excuse basically tells that the cheater does not only crave for attention, but also is into codependency. He just has to be with someone to make himself feel good. Loyalty actually cannot be expected from him. 

” I was just bored”

No relationship promises everlasting fun and entertainment. Unfortunately, many people just do not realize that. Apparently, when boredom occurs in a relationship the couple should think of ways to get rid of it.

“It just happened”

When no complaint comes to mind about the partner or relationship, a cheater will use this excuse. What to really blame in this situation? The temptation and nothing else. Some people must learn to keep in check their impulsive behavior. 

“I was drunk”

This is actually the most popular excuse right now. Getting drunk and then in the morning finding out that there is a naked body of another person lying in the bed. What exactly happened? Sex! What the cheaters must remember is that if they know that they cannot control their behavior after getting drunk they should simply not touch the alcohol at the social gathering or drink as less as possible.

“There is nothing called cheating. We just give into the situation”

This excuse sounds intellectual and even a bit confusing. The truth is that the statement is used mostly by artists of different fields. If you take an art class in college you will be told that most artists back in the days cheated on their wives because they believed they were in the center of the universe. This happens even now. The notion is that most artists love themselves and they do anything to pleasure up their mind and body. Unfortunately, this includes cheating.

The child who waited and did not grab the marshmallows right away was found to be generally more successful in the business world, he was able to make decisions and had less difficulty surmounting challenges that life brought. The child who could not wait and was rather impulsive when offered the treat was found to be more indecisive in life. He had less success in the business world and was less able to keep a job. Researchers then surmised that the lack of success was due to an impulsiveness and inability to focus on another thing similar to that experienced by the youngster when faced with the opportunity of eating a marshmallow now or later.

In the experiment the youngster would have been rewarded two had he waited an allotted amount of time but would only receive one if he were impatient. Years later researchers tracked down the same people and found that being impulsive then translated into not holding interest in ones labors and lacking focus in later life. They determined that the persons who were patient knew that rewards to be better achieved through patience and perseverance and those were the people more likely to keep their employment and advance in their careers.

One can always think of how it is easy to take a holiday right away when it is offered to you instead of thinking of going at a later date; being able to finish what work there was left to do, so that when you do go on holiday the thought of an incomplete itinerary is not on your mind and you can really enjoy that vacation. Such a person may not fall in the category of being as impulsive as the kid with the marshmallow but the study makes you think about how our minds work when we need to be gratified right away or not.
