If you're reading this, then there is a huge likelihood that you've had a relationship (or three) in your life. People come and go for different reasons, mainly a natural progression of growth that leads you in different directions, but sometimes you run into a cheater; one who's cheated on an ex or even you. A subject often up for debate is whether cheaters can ever change.
Does the saying "once a cheater always a cheater" actually hold true?
Unfortunately, it's up to the cheater to decide the answer to that question. They have to make a dedicated decision to change and the only way to do that is to first identify the reasons for their infidelity in the first place. Check out the five most common reasons for cheating. Will your lover be able to change his ways?

Lack of empathy
Occasionally, you might find yourself with an ice king or queen with a heart of stone.

Need for excitement
