Seven Reasons Why Women Cheat | Why do Women Cheat? | #relationship #love #datingadvice

The reasons are varied and complex, and can involve everything from emotional dissatisfaction to sexual boredom. Cheating is a complex issue that affects many relationships. While it's often assumed that men are the primary culprits, research shows that women cheat just as frequently.

1. Emotional Nourishment: It's rare to have a sexual relationship without some emotions cropping up. In fact, most affairs begin with a social friendship or workplace friendship. That's how the boundaries get slippery.

2. Anger and Retaliation: Some women may start to resent their partner because of unresolved conflicts or previous infidelity, or from not helping enough with the kids or household. Their own infidelity becomes an act of retribution.

3. Boredom: some women who cheat are missing those thrilling hallmarks of a relationship's beginning stages when passion and intrigue have yet to give way to routine. This is a big reason why men cheat!

4. Sexual Deprivation/Loneliness (Story: That was me!)

5. Opportunity: Few acts of infidelity are premeditated. Usually, an affair is a result of an unexpected opportunity. A woman feels sad or lonely or frustrated, and they happen to meet someone in a similar situation. In fact, these partners usually can't explain why they cheated. They say things like, "It just happened." Social Media is a big issue!

6. Relationship Shopping: Men are more likely to cheat for sex. Women are more likely to cheat because they are looking for an exit door.

7. Attachment Insecurity: People with an anxious or avoidant attachment style are more likely to cheat, seek out reassurance from a third-party partner, or attempt to avoid the intimacy of the primary relationship.

Too much work guys too much work, its like trying to keep a spoiled. 9-year-old happy .Work on yourself. While you're trying to entertain her emotional rollercoaster you're not working on yourself. And you're not bettering yourself, no matter what you do. If she's doesn't have morals she's gonna stray if you're a super good guy or not. It's a day to day struggle. Women run on emotions and they change by the hour. How she "felt" yesterday is different than today.

Because they can.
70% of divorces are initiated by women.
Good enough reason to not marry to start with.

Cheating is a choice,
Being drunk is a choice.

Not taking accountability is a choice.

Boredom is no excuse. People who can't handle boredom often have personality disorders.

It's funny how you say that"Men cheat more often than women."
Sum up those 7 reasons why women cheat and we get the answer women can cheat on any reason and every reason. She gets bored, she finds a new toy (sorry person) to play with, she wants to take revenge blah blah blah.

Every sex worker ever interviewed says men aren't coming to them for sex.

49, engaged once, never married, no kids, no child support, no alimony...
MGTOW 👌

My wife brought forward similar reasons why she cheated on me with a hot Brazilian guy, mainly emotional neglect.
I can still understand her reasons, but I cannot understand why she did not agree to divorce so that I had to file for it unilaterally. It should be decided very soon now.

[smokedawg]

She will cheat with a bad boy who will use and dump her. Yet somehow the good man at home is boring?

[nojizyatax]

No man should go to a therapist whose basic message is that her transgressions are his fault.

When I put together all these reasons for which a woman cheats, only one comes out. I need to work on myself more to have x-ray vision to read her mind and who Superman was to grant her every wish. If a woman can't say what's bothering her so that the problem can be solved, it's not my problem if she can't express herself and say what she wants. Break the stick.

[jeffreyhamilton]

Who cares why. When i caught my second wife cheating I cleaned out the account cancelled the cards and never looked back. Her kids from first marriage lost thier health insurance and Chad found Younger and better asdid I. Peace.

[garden_dork]

It's pathetic when grown women like this refuse to take accountability. For shame!!

[mimimodgemedge]

The moral of the story.. if she cheats, you’re worth better get rid of her no excuses

[NubianX]

Re number 2.. That is so true. I had a coworker, while tearing up told me she wanted to have an affair with me to get back at her cheating husband.

[baltao]

She talks about the deficit theory of affairs towards the end but does not provide other explanations that go against such like happy people having affairs, a recurring theme among the patients of Dr. Esther Perel.

The way this video is worded is very forgiving towards the woman and prejudiced towards the man. Constsntly saying "The Man doesnt meey XYZ need/The Man lacks XYZ communication skill"

[carlmiller]

Funny... Notice the Dr. Never mentioned communication with a woman who heading to disconnection.

Started off wrong..
