Why do women cheat? That is honestly a great question. We usually turn on the tv or radio and see or hear about a cheating man. But when do we hear alot about women cheating? Sure you can turn on Michael Baisden or even Kane and on the right day you will hear about women cheating. For me it was thinking that the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. That's all i am going to say about my experience with cheating, because that was the last time i ever cheated on any of my boyfriends. Sorry to my ex that i did that too. But why do women cheat? I had to research this topic to find out why other women cheat on their boyfriend/ girlfriend, significant other or even husband/wife.
There are two types of affairs that women have when they are cheating. The first is the sexual or emotional affair. The sexual affair is attributed to many reasons. Upon my research i found that women cheat because of a boring sex life. Women sometimes feel as if their sex lives have become boring or almost non-existent. Either this is attributed to the significant other not putting it down right in the bedroom or the lack of wanting to even be touched by the significant other. Sometimes women feel repulsed by their significant other and even become physically sick. The thrill of being caught also adds to the sexual affair that women carry on. They like the fact of possibly being caught by their significant other or someone they know.
The second type of affair is the emotional affair. This is when women look "for" emotional support for someone outside of their significant other for many reasons. (A) Finances. Women sometimes turn away from a significant other into the hands of a man who can help them feel financial secure. Whether is it be that the significant other; doesn't make alot of money and maybe even have a spending problem putting not only their relationship but their family in economic peril. Or the woman starts to want more and more for the materialistic things in life. So she begins to look else where to help her buy that Prada bag, those Gucci shades, or those Christian Dior thongs. (B) Feeling hurt or taken for granted, some women over time begin to feel as if their significant other isn't paying them enough attention. Or that the significant other is just happy with a hum drum life. Where every night is a stay at home night, compared to the fast paced whirl wind beginning of their relationship where they went out on dates and even took vacations together. (C) Loneliness, just like with feeling hurt and taken for granted, many women start to become lonely in their relationships, especially if communication between them and their significant other has started to decline. No more heart to heart conversations, no more joking around, no more everyday conversations can lead a woman to feel lonely and seek attention from another man or other men. (D) Weight loss. Yes, weight loss can lead a woman to stray. If a woman has lost significant weight, she might start to feel more; how should i say... attractive. When women loss this weight, they usually start to get more attention from men either outside or in the work place, hell even from a family friend. They feel more wanted and that revives a prowling kitten out into the mist of the masses. She begins to question whether she chose the right guy, either based on looks or sometimes materialistic things.(E) Low self-esteem. Low self esteem can cause a woman not to feel wanted by the significant other she is with. It can also start her to begin to doubt the fidelity of her partner. Once she gets that thought into her head that her significant other might be cheating, she decides to turn around and do the same in order to shield herself from some of the hurt and to one up the significant other. (F) Revenge. Yes the great old dish best served cold is revenge against the significant other for cheating on them. They think that they can help block some of the emotional pain of being cheated on by doing it themselves. Finally (G) Mid-life Crisis. Yes women we do go through those too, so don't just think that it is the men. Women often times have a mid-life crisis and start to re-evaluate their lives and those around them. They go out and spend money to look and act young again. Thus we get cougars and cougarettes. Women looking for that younger man to help fulfill their need to feel young again.
Well it seems as if my research has lead me to believe that women cheat for so many reasons. But the better question would be in the end, Why cheat at all? Why not get out of the relationship and live your life freely?
