It’s often seen as a problem of temptation or lack of discipline, but in reality, it usually stems from something much deeper: unmet needs and Attachment patterns. Understanding why cheating happens, and how it differs by Attachment Style can help you recognize early warning signs and build healthier, more secure relationships. Episode Summary In this episode, Thais Gibson breaks down the real psychology behind cheating and how it shows up across different Attachment Styles. You’ll learn why Anxious Preoccupied, Dismissive Avoidant, Fearful Avoidant, and Securely Attached individuals experience and approach infidelity differently and how most cheating is driven by unmet emotional needs rather than purely physical desire. Thais also explains how secure relationships are built through open communication, needs fulfillment, and emotional awareness and why trust is something you actively create, not something you passively hope for.
