For many dismissive avoidants, cheating isn't primarily driven by attraction. It can be an unconscious attempt to create emotional distance, avoid vulnerability, or escape the discomfort that comes with deeper intimacy.
Understanding these underlying patterns doesn't excuse the behavior, but it can completely change how you interpret it—and help you stop personalizing someone else's protective strategies.
When you understand what's really happening beneath the surface, you can make more informed choices about healing, boundaries, and relationships moving forward.
Have you ever blamed yourself for someone else's distancing behavior, only to realize later it wasn't actually about you?
