Men with avoidant attachment style are more likely to cheat for reasons relating to how avoidant attachment style develops in infancy and toddlerhood. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to share with you the truth<\/strong><\/em> about why avoidant men<\/strong> cheat. <\/p>\n Pay attention because if you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll waste precious time on an avoidant man who was destined to betray you.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE to LEARN the One Specific Emotional Trigger Within Every Masculine Man That Inspires Him to Want to Take Care of You, Worship You and Deeply Commit to You.<\/strong><\/p>\n I once knew a married man named Bernard in his 40s who was a famous lawyer and very successful in his career. from the outside, he was an admirable character whom a lot of people looked up to.\u00a0<\/p>\n As a baby he had a troubled mother and father who were dismissive of his needs and used to leave him crying in the playpen for hours. This left him with a deep void he learned to ignore.<\/p>\n As a 20-something, he dated a woman whom he assumed he\u2019d marry one day. But this woman ended up leaving him for someone older and more established than him. He was bitter about this early experience, and never fully grieved it.<\/p>\n In his 30s he chose a safe woman to marry who would become the secure base for him so that he could reach soaring heights in his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n By the time Bernard reached his 40s, he had a small army of acquaintances who admired him and wanted to learn from him, but nobody who was close to him or really knew him.\u00a0<\/p>\n He kept everyone at a distance,<\/strong> ensuring that they would always just admire him on the surface, and never really expose him.<\/p>\n Bernard went on many business trips alone and used to sit at airports for hours, feeling strangely detached, forgetting he had a wife and child at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019d feel empty without the constant barrage of admiration and adoration from other people. Some may call it a desperate need for supply.\u00a0<\/p>\n One day, he met a much younger woman who was beautiful, innocent and ready to place him on a pedestal.<\/p>\n He couldn\u2019t resist the opportunity for distraction from the loneliness he felt inside, and started a long affair with this beautiful young woman.<\/p>\n Eventually, his mistress grew tired of being the side piece who only fulfilled one role: to offer him a constant stream of admiration, so she broke off the affair.<\/p>\n Bernard didn\u2019t handle that well, and proceeded to stalk her and extort her, threatening to destroy her reputation and her son\u2019s reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Not being able to stop himself in the midst of this narcissistic rage, he took it so far that police arrested him, he had to serve a jail sentence, and his career and family life were left in shambles.<\/p>\n Related reading: Can An Avoidant Ever Really Love You?<\/strong> <\/p>\n SPECIAL REPORT: How to Become the World\u2019s Most Attractive & Feminine Goddess (Even if you have no self esteem or no man has ever paid you any attention\u2026) CLICK HERE to download it at no cost.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s why Bernard\u2019s story is both a warning and a testament to the reason why avoidant men cheat. <\/p>\n It\u2019s because how avoidant attachment style forms is that in infancy, the avoidant baby cried for closeness to his or her caregivers.<\/p>\n MORE: 4 Types of Attachment Styles In Relationships: Which One\u2019s Yours?<\/strong><\/p>\n This cry was his natural and human way of activating his attachment system. <\/p>\n He activated it repeatedly and was ignored indefinitely, and his emotional needs were dismissed as \u2018manipulation\u2019, he began to bypass his attachment system altogether, as avoidants do.<\/p>\n instead of crying for closeness and nurturing, he became despondent. He\u2019d sometimes still explore, but he\u2019d carry a haunting feeling of loneliness that he wasn\u2019t cognitively aware of.\u00a0<\/p>\n After a while, the avoidant stops noticing their needs. So they seek surface interactions instead of activating their attachment system and seeking intimacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thefemininewoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AlbedoBase_XL_a_tall_handsome_man_in_his_40s_walking_down_a_bu_0-1024x575.jpg.webp\")
