“I have found that a traumatic upbringing can contribute to women staying in toxic relationships. For example, if one was raised in a household that had an abusive father, they then get into a relationship that has an abusive partner. It becomes a cycle; one stays because of the hope that the partner will change.”

Social media users shared their reasons for being attracted to cheating partners and why they are against it:

@mandykunene779 is grateful for her dad:

"Thank God my self-esteem is intact. My father taught me to value myself and loved me. I will never settle for a man who has another woman, and I'm aware, I love myself too much to come second to anyone."

@Phephile Precious explained:

"Whenever I'm with him, nothing matters. He makes me feel complete. That's home for me."

@vuyiie_tumiiey shared:

"I genuinely think it's within the qualities of a man to have more than one woman. The sooner we understand, the better."
