Girls who have caught their partners cheating – brace yourselves – if he’s done it once, the chances of him doing it again are pretty damn high! Infidelity is everywhere these days – if you aren’t a victim, you know one. Some of us have had bitter experiences that leave us second guessing every situation. It leaves us with trust issues that we sometimes carry into every other relationship we get into, post the one that broke us. Moral of the story? Well, we need to stay a million miles away from fuckboys, who know all the right things to say, but do exactly the opposite of all that they promise. If you feel he’ll change and deserves a second chance, let’s break it to you – that ain’t happening anytime soon. And if you don’t believe us, there’s legit scientific proof!
For all you ladies who have the whole Meenakumari-syndrome and enjoy inflicting pain on yourself, here’s the deal – Science has backed the wisdom of ‘once a cheater, always a cheater’! Yup, you read that correctly… there is now a scientific explanation behind the behavioral pattern of a cheater that will help you understand the psyche behind why your man repeats his actions again and again and again. It’s bound to happen – they’re aadat se majboor!
According to a study that was published in a popular scientific journal called Nature Neuroscience, the more times a person cheats and subsequently lies about it, the degree of guilt lessens with each occurrence. Hence, the person is likely to get comfortable doing so, creating a vicious cycle. To break it down for you, the more your guy cheats, the more he gets comfortable with the process, and eventually he starts believing that he’s not really wronging you.
The study focused on the part of the brain called Amygdala – the supplier of negative responses. It’s the emotion center of the brain, a region that plays an important role in processing, signaling and assessing arousal. It was proven that this part of the brain gives a weaker negative response each time a person is dishonest. Thus, helping him gain immunity to the feeling of remorse and guilt.
When we are deeply involved and invested in a relationship, we tend to look past some faults, living on a prayer and hoping that they aren’t repeated. When it comes to cheating, there are many women who would consider giving their better half another chance. While another opportunity for your partner to rectify their mistakes and turn things around is always human, make sure you decide to close the door on him, if he’s done it multiple times.
Dil pe patthar rakh ke mooh pe makeup karle, Behen – It’s time to move on to better things!
