Tuned to infidelity

[sam675]

I have been reading a number of threads in this forum and one of them stated something along the lines that people's characters or make up is tuned or at least more likely to indulge in infidelity.

What are those characteristics?

selfishness, arrogance - those are my top two

Insecurity - some men like having two women, cos then if one buggers off you have the other

Narcissism - needs multiple sources of 'supply'.

Oh, and sexism. He who sees women as objects doesn't mind using a few of them.

arrogant and self absorbed sums up my soon to be exDH at the moment

controlling

SELFISH. I will be coaching my children in this red flag as soon as they are old enough. That and a sense of entitlement / superiority (does that come under arrogance??)

bad relatioship with mother.
Sense of entitlement

abedelia - yes it does ime

Maybe a lack of empathy - unable to see things from anyone elses point of view?

My serial cheating exp had all the above...talk about making a poor choice! Bloody narcissists!

A lot of anger somewhere inside (maybe related to the mother).

A fondness for Drama.

Chameleons! A natural and extensive ability to be completely duplicitous. That in itself can make them hard to spot

Emotional immaturity.

Fully immersed in 'blame culture' (justification)- inability to cope with responsibility or take responsibility seriously.

Selfishness.

Poor coping mechanisms and communication skills.

Misogynistic tendencies - not necessarily overt.

A tendency to try to get away with things in other areas, like enjoying speeding or doing slap happy repair work at home.
