5 Reasons Why He Cheated

1. His insecurities.


He was jealous and always worried about the extent of your relationships with other people. He worried about your male co-workers, old friends and even the male waiter at the restaurant you guys dined in. He simply felt he wasn't good enough for you and you'd eventually find a better catch and dump him!

2. "You" were too clingy.

You constantly called or texted his phone when you guys were away from each other. You required his attention all of the time. You hugged and kissed him every second you guys spent together. He felt smothered because you went absolutely everywhere with him and gave him no space to breathe.

3. "You" got comfortable.

Before you guys got serious, you wouldn't dare let him see you without your makeup or hair done. Now you walk around him completely comfortable with a mud mask and a scarf. You stopped being spontaneous and dressing sexy for him.

4. He felt unappreciated.

He didn't feel needed or appreciated. A man's job is to provide and protect. He needed to feel his contributions and efforts were getting noticed. You didn't realize he needed affirmation and praise for all he does. How could he have known he was pleasing you and making you happy if you didn't tell him?

5. He was just a cheater.

Cheating for him was exciting, sporadic and fun because he simply liked to cheat. He did it before and got away with it. Once a cheater, always a cheater. He will never change because cheating is like basketball for him and when he plays, the ball stays in his court!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
