why does a woman stay in an unfaithful relationship if their are no kids involved? when the husband cheats.?

Question

i wanted to know why women stay in relationships when their are no kids involved... when she knows her husband is cheating.

Answer 1

Ask them

Answer 2

Even if kids are involved people should not stay in unfaithful relationships. Mostly women stay out of fear. Fear to be alone, low self-esteem, fear of failure, fear of the unknown, co-dependency, sometimes they blame themselves for not being good enough, and alot of times because they still love the man and they can't separate that from the wrong he is doing. No-one deserves to be cheated on, especially in a marriage........that is why u take vows after-all. The best thing to do for these women is support them as friends, be there for them to vent on and try to help them to gain the strength and courage needed to realize they don't deserve this, they deserve much better, and to take the step needed to end this form of abuse.

Answer 3

Honestly, I think that some women are afraid to be alone.. They may also be comfortable and not want the hassle of being on the "dating" market again. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, but if this is an ongoing thing, the only way a woman will truly be happy, is to leave. Even if she is alone, its less hurtful than being cheated on repeatedly. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Probably the same reason men do. Maybe because they think things will change. Sometimes they do, and things work out. Sometimes when the cheating person changes, the other person realizes they no longer feel 'good' about him/her anymore. Having to deal with the pain of knowing someone you care about can't stay faithful makes you numb, like a callous, eventually there is nothing left.

Answer 5

Why I did? Let's see, maybe it was the hope that in the end it really was me he wanted, not some floozy. Maybe it was because he told me he loved me and I wanted to believe in that. Could also be because I seen my 2 siblings divorce and I didn't want to be "one of them". I sure didn't want to be a statistic, but ended up one anyway. I wanted the perfect marriage, and was wrong. We went out 10 years, without any cheating happening, so I thought my heart and soul was safe with him, it was on my 1st year anniversary that he cheated the first time. I shudder to think how many more times he cheated until just after our 5th anniversary when he left me for a woman he met in a bar.

Answer 6

must be something funky going on in the head to make someone stay in a relationship like that. Self esteem issues, etc.

Answer 7

Leaving him or confronting the problem would have to mean that she would have to admit that he doesn't love her. Low self esteem. Women always want to win, we want to be the one he chooses or stays with. You'd be surprised how we see what we want the way we want to see them.

Answer 8

maybe because she loves him and think he would change. Once a cheater, always a cheater, however, some people, even men, not just women, are too naive and believe that the partner will not do it anymore.

Answer 9

Low self esteem. She thinks she cant make it alone, she thinks she cant make it financially with out him....that is the yucky thing...most of the time, its not love...its low self esteem

Answer 10

because she wants to 'fix' things. women dont like giving up , they cling on to hope where as men they fall at 1st hurdle

Answer 11

Forgiveness could be the reason, or naiivety.
