When an anxiously attached person cheats, it’s rarely about chasing excitement or novelty. More often, it’s about feeling unseen, unwanted, or unimportant in their relationship — and finding emotional validation elsewhere.
In this video, I share the common reasons anxiously attached people might become vulnerable to infidelity, including their tendency towards emotional affairs and how cheating can sometimes become a bridge to leaving a relationship they struggle to walk away from.
We’ll cover:
How unmet needs for closeness, reassurance, and feeling chosen create vulnerability to outside attention
Why emotional affairs are common for anxious attachers
How external validation can become a point of comparison to the primary relationship
The “off-ramp/on-ramp” dynamic of mate-switching
Why cheating often comes with deep emotional investment for anxious attachers
