Impulsive and cheating habbit

2025-10-27 17:59:19
What should I do if I have loving partner and does everything. But I still cheat on her when I know this is wrong and when I don't think of the consequences. Should I get it treated through counselling or take any medicines to control my habit.

It’s good that you’re aware of your behavior and are questioning it — that awareness itself shows you want to change, and that’s the first step forward. Cheating despite having a loving partner often isn’t just about attraction or desire; it usually connects to deeper emotional or psychological patterns. Sometimes this can stem from: • Unresolved emotional needs or a lack of self-worth • A tendency to seek excitement, validation, or escape • Difficulty managing impulses or facing emotional intimacy Medication is usually not required unless there’s an underlying mental health condition, such as an impulse-control or obsessive behavior issue — and that would need assessment by a psychiatrist.
Next Steps
In most cases, counselling or psychotherapy helps more effectively. A therapist can help you understand the root cause, develop self-awareness, and learn how to manage impulses while rebuilding emotional connection. I would suggest you to have counselling with an expert — and I can also help you with this if you’d like to explore it further.

It would be helpful for you to talk to a counsellor or a psychologist for personal counselling. It seems that you may be struggling with impulsive behaviour or some emotional needs that are not fully understood yet. Counselling can help you find out why this is happening, improve your self-control, and learn healthier ways to handle your feelings and stay committed in your relationship.
Next Steps
connect with a psychologist or counsellor.

It sounds like you truly care about your partner and recognize that your actions don’t align with how you want to show up in the relationship, that’s an important first step. Sometimes, even when we know something is wrong, we act out of deeper emotional needs, loneliness, or habits we haven’t yet understood. This doesn’t make you a bad person, but it does show there’s something within that needs healing.
Next Steps
Counselling can really help you explore what’s driving this pattern, manage your impulses, and learn how to reconnect with your values and your partner in a more authentic way.

Hi, It sounds like you’re struggling with impulsive behavior and guilt despite having a loving partner, which can be distressing. This pattern may stem from underlying emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues such as impulsivity, low self-control, or unmet emotional needs. Medication is usually not the first approach unless there’s an associated mental health condition. Seeking help from a psychologist or psychiatrist can provide the right guidance and strategies to rebuild trust and manage your impulses in a proper way.

Hi, If you find yourself cheating on your loving partner despite knowing it’s wrong and feeling conflicted about your actions, it’s important to recognize that this behavior may stem from underlying issues that need to be addressed. Seeking counseling or therapy can be highly beneficial, as a mental health professional can help you understand the root causes of your behavior, develop healthier coping strategies, and work on building self-control and emotional awareness. Medications are generally not the primary solution for behavioral issues like cheating; they might be prescribed if there is an underlying mental health condition such as impulse control problems or certain mood disorders, but therapy is typically more effective for addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors. Taking responsibility for your actions and seeking professional help can lead to personal growth and healthier relationships in the long run.

Hi U r probably not in love with her and looking out for a better deal and keeping her as a stop gap arrangement. If u feel the guilt and still not leaving her this is probably the case. Try looking for another partner and see if u can stick around.
Next Steps
Look for a new partner
Health Tips
Tell her about ur infidelity and ask her if she can keep and open relationship. That way u will hv lesser guilt.

Hi Therapy especially cognitive-behavioral or psychodynamic can help uncover the emotional and psychological triggers behind your actions. Medication isn’t typically used for this unless impulsivity or a coexisting condition like ADHD or mood disorder is involved. Start with counselling to identify the root cause and rebuild self-control and alignment with your values. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Having a loving partner does not guarantee fidelity. Maybe you’re seeking novelty, excitement, adventure or different experiences in life. Yes therapy is highly recommended for you to explore what is your motivation and what parts of yourself you’re trying to explore. You can make an informed decision based on where your exploration leads you. Hope this helps.
