When someone claims to be with a partner who is perfect.............but at the same time goes on the internet blatantly engaging in behaviour which is seeking attention from members of the opposite sex (sometimes which is not even all that complimentary),but they still carry on............what does all this mean?

That they are lying to themselves or to others about how perfect their partner is?
That no matter how perfect their partner is, for some reason or another they are not satisfied or happy or they have an illness that requires them to look for attention from the opposite sex? That they feel very badly about themselves as an individual and look for ways to make themselves feel better with attention from others? There could be any number of reasons why this individual is doing what they are doing....I'm sure there are many more than what I have come up with.  sabby |

I think any or all of those could be the reasons,Sabby.
Does anyone know of anyone behaving this way and what were the circumstances? What type of "illness" could cause this-depression coupled with low self esteem,something like that? |

Suppose it included posting a partly naked photograph in a provocative pose-not aimed at anyone in particular but in public place on the web ......??

You are doing this or your loved one is? Either way, perhaps talking to a therapist can help.

I tend to analyze behavior from the standpoint that it's always an attempt to get a need met. Not a want, but a need...needs are things we die without, food shelter,and lastly (and most elusively) LOVE! theres a big difference between attention and love, like two cups,one with a bottom and one without, sadly, many people have never really known real love and so are taking what they can get from people, we see the manifestations of this everywhere! Modern psychology tries to convince us to love ourselves but can we really do that? Given what we really are on the inside? I can't... I'm a "mistake maker" and some of them are HUGE! sorry for the rant...it just touched a nerve

I don't believe that someone who was happy in their relationship would feel the need to do this.
