Impulsiveness

This personality trait is built on taking decisions in the heat of the moment and not thinking things through. That’s exactly why impulsive people are likely to cheat – instead of considering the consequences, they give in to the moment and act spontaneously, even though they might hurt someone’s feelings later.

Thrill-seeking

Many people who have failed to experience true love with only one partner find monogamy mundane. They see no excitement in being intimate with only one person. Therefore, as they crave adrenalin and thrill, they might look for it in the act of cheating.

Avoidance

This happens with people being afraid of commitment. When things between them and their partner start to get serious, they are quite likely to be unfaithful just to avoid developing deeper feelings

Self-destructiveness

If a person often falls into unhealthy, self-destructive habits, and makes poor financial decisions, they would probably treat their relationships the same way. As cheating is one of the most severe relationship dealbreakers, such an individual will tend to fall into it as yet another self-destructive habit of theirs. However, this time their unfaithfulness will affect someone else.
