Most people would list being faithful as one of their top needs in a relationship. People cheat either because of an external desire which they do not get internally or because he/she does not know what they want and cannot seem to choose. What is cheating? Would staring at a girl’s rear be cheating? Everyone has their own definition.
When do a man's emotions come into play beyond sexual desire? What makes the crossover from sexual desire to something more? Many men want to emotionally connect with a woman and to connect with their own children. However, it is also true that many do not know how to be vulnerable, which is what intimacy demands. They are often caught in a bind, wanting more emotional depth to their lives but not knowing how to get it because males are taught from a young age that to be emotional is for girls.
Firstly, when someone is totally devoted to their love interest it may be hard to turn a conscious eye to their imperfections and faults. She will be under the desired illusion that he is loyal, that he love her and would dismiss slightest suspicion of cheating. Idolizing their partner in their minds for long time would lead to a major breakdown when the veil of deception is lifted thus thought of being cheated on is too heavy and the reduction of self-esteem will cause the woman to be in large circle of uncertainty about her own personage. Furthermore, by returning to her abusive partner she is trying to prove to herself that she is able to keep them and resurrect their old bond, but mostly trying to resurrect her own self-assurance that she is still worthy. Forgiveness can also be a reason to stay, some people have big hearts and are easy to forgive due to kindness but that does not mean they will necessarily forget, the old bond will never be the seem and asking about the partners whereabouts will no longer be a matter of manners only but to assure herself.
Another cause of relationship breakdown is a lack of maintenance. In some circumstances, relationships may become strained due to maintenance difficulties as the partners do not see each other often enough and therefore spend much time apart. Boekhout et al. asked undergraduates to rate various sexual and emotional reasons for men and women to be unfaithful in a committed relationship. Participants judged that sexual reasons for infidelity such as boredom and sexual excitement would be more likely to be used by men whereas emotional reasons for infidelity such as lack of attention would be more likely to be used by women.
Ultimately, both characters change their personalities in their relationship and ends with the woman yearning acceptance of her new self with “I am me.” Unfortunately, their new actions are too extreme for each other. The man and woman should be able to explore these new personalities, but through culturally acceptable ways. Society sets high standards for the ideal male and female and affects those who lack self-awareness as seen in the short story. It is unfair for the characters to worry about conforming to the norms of society through a “game” to feel
Lack of stimulation; the social exchange theory suggests that people look for rewards in a relationship of which is ‘stimulation’. Maintenance difficulties is when couples cannot give their relationship the constant support that it needs and this may be because partners cannot see each other often enough e.g. long-distance relationships. Rollie and Duck (2006) have developed a model of termination of close or friendly relationships, which includes six stages. The model starts with breakdown where one partner becomes increasingly dissatisfied with the relationship.

In interpersonal relationships, there are naturally occurring contradictions or dialectics that often take place.
