Cheating Spouses: Why Women Cheat



By Brandon Grittini

In any relationship there is one very important underlying rule; No Cheating! It's an unspoken rule for a lot of people who decide to get into a long term commitment. All relationships are based on the foundation of trust. Trust in your partner not to lie, not to cheat and to be very forthright. If you are getting into a long term relation it is only fair on both individuals to be truthful so they can stay committed. In the past we often heard of men cheating, but now women do it too. Why do women cheat? What has changed? Why is the wife or girlfriend not faithful?

Well, let's say that a woman does go astray; is it wrong? Why, men do it so much more! In an American Sexual Behavior study, fourteen percent of the married women have been known to cheat at least once; where as twenty two percent of married men have been found cheating! Let's not compare the two, but try to understand if it's correct to assume that women never cheated earlier. Its wrong, women have cheated in the past; but the numbers today are on the rise.

Men and women both work outside the home. Today a woman has come a long way in her career. She has become self-sufficient and men need to look at her as a productive individual. She can manage home and work, which is a tad difficult for the men. You can debate for hours on this aspect of a woman being able to multi- manage tasks. We are very conscious about our careers today, as we live in a very competitive world.

The maxim, the early bird catches the worm couldn't be more appropriate for all of us today. So men and women both are highly involved in their careers, busy climbing ladders to reach the top! In all this the relationship between two people gets a back seat.
The man and woman grow apart physically. They do not have time for a fulfilling sexual relationship. Very often, a woman reminisces the days when it was fun just enjoying times in bed with your partner.

Children, responsibilities slowly get snared into your relationship and tangle you into a web. Now it's more stressful. All your partner wants to do is sleep! He needs to understand that his woman craves for attention. If she cannot get it from her partner, she experiments and toys with the idea of infidelity. She then may venture out into a world where many individuals today gain happiness with that other man.

If another person makes her feel wanted it increases her feeling of self-worth. When the person who she thought was the man of her dreams starts neglecting her, she needs somebody to love and she too wants to reciprocate these feelings. If your wife cheats on you it need not necessarily mean you are at fault. Some women are born sex kittens!

Behavior such as this gets manifested when there is a change in her life that seems very important to her. An image makeover, where she looks extremely beautiful, or when she loses the much unwanted pounds or if she is going through a mid life crisis; all this contributes to a change in commitment.

A woman wants to feel desired by her partner. She needs sex and also a sense of closeness. She waits for her partner to do something different, which matters to her, as a surprise. She basically wants more intimacy. If she gets it from her partner she does not need to look for it outside.

Another very important aspect in most long term relationships is when your man takes you for granted. He knows you will be around for him. Well, it's not true; this is a very important myth that needs to be busted right away.

A woman is always changing her avatar, from wife to mom to grocery shopper to holiday planner etc. She does all this unaided. The most common reason for a woman to cheat is revenge. Her partner may have cheated on her. She may have even forgiven him, but somewhere in the relationship she realizes he does not appreciate her enough. She then finds the only way to hurt him is to betray him as he did her!

So when we think of why women cheat, we need to scrutinize her relationship with her partner. We will certainly find any one of the above reasons. Who does not want a happy and loving relationship; but when you as a partner go off to a tangent no woman will tolerate it. So wake up and don't just smell the coffee! Make her a special breakfast, pamper her, and let her know she is the most important woman in your life.
