Revealed: Two traits that make your man more likely to cheat

Your partner's personality can influence their likelihood to stray

Research has identified two key personality traits that could increase the chances of a man being unfaithful in a relationship.

Narcissism and infidelity

One study found that men who scored highly for narcissism were more likely to engage in infidelity. Narcissism is characterised by an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Narcissists may be more likely to cheat because they believe they deserve to have multiple partners and they lack the empathy to understand the pain their actions would cause their partner.

Avoidant attachment and infidelity

Another study found that men with avoidant attachment styles were also more likely to be unfaithful. Avoidant attachment is characterised by a fear of intimacy and a desire to maintain independence. Men with avoidant attachment styles may be more likely to cheat because they are uncomfortable with the emotional closeness that comes with a committed relationship.

It's important to note that not all men with these personality traits will cheat.

However, if you are in a relationship with a man who exhibits these traits, it is important to be aware of the potential risks. If you are concerned about your partner's fidelity, it is important to talk to them about your concerns. Open and honest communication is essential for any healthy relationship.
