Will a married woman in an affair with a married man leave their spouses?

Answer 1

Typically, but not always, when women have affairs, they are already emotionally done with their marriage.

Emotionally, they have already left, given up, and from what I've seen, both in my life, and from watching others for almost 42 years, women are less likely to return once they leave.

That doesn't mean they did a good job of communicating their needs, or even had realistic needs. (Such as if my husband really loved me, he would just know what I needed. Since he didn't know, he must not have loved me. That's pure garbage, BTW)

In America, 2/3rds of all divorces are initiated by women, and not all are for unfaithful spouses.

So, I believe that when a woman has an affair, she is already done with her marriage.

Right or wrong, she has given up and is unwilling to do the work necessary to make the marriage better.

It's not this way in all cases, but I believe in most, this is how it goes down.

Answer 2

No....They are only involved with each other because their can't possibly be anything other than the affair. No strings come attached. They will be each others secret. However, that doesn't mean that they can't catch feelings. When and if they do, its a life altering decision that must be made. In most cases, once the partner sees that there are feelings, they usually walk away from what they have with their secret partner, to avoid all the drama and problems that will and can be caused.

A cheating spouse will always be a cheating spouse, however, a cheating spouse would prefer a married spouse anyday over a single one, just to avoid all the drama that the single one will cause.

Answer 3

Hard to tell. Affairs for both men and women usually come from not having an emotional need satisfied at home. In many cases this is not the cheaters "spouses" fault. It's a combination of things. If the cheating spouse can manage to help themselves to better fill their emotional needs at home with the help of their spouse, then they logically will not leave. If they never are able to fill their emotional needs then they will leave thinking the grass is greener. Then they will find out that the grass is the same as their old yard. The cycle will continue until the cheating spouse either meets someone that can completely fill their needs for them (not likely) or they themselves seek counseling to learn how to fill their own emotional needs from who is around them.

Answer 4

My answer is yes. I have been seeing a married man for two years. We have both been married 20 yrs+ and both grew apart from our spouses. We met online and see each other when we can, as he is 3,000 miles away from me. We have a cell phone plan together, we talk day and night and plan to divorce and settle in one of our towns. It's harder to stay in a suffocating marriage then it is to make a break of it and start new with perhaps the soul mate you were supposed to be.. Hope that helps you.

Answer 5

Many men are content cheating behind their wife's back and most women yearn for a Real, emotionally stable relationship. Thus, I think a man would stay with his wife until he gets caught cheating and a woman will just leave whether she gets caught or not.
many men especially wont leave their wife if he has kids with her...due to not wanting to pay child support. the woman usually gets the kids in a divorce so they don't care.

Answer 6

I JUST ASKED THIS QUESTION YESTERDAY AND 5 OUT OF THE 6 PEOPLE THAT ANSWERED, ANSWERED POSITIVELY. SO IT EVIDENTALLY HAPPENS ALOT MORE THAN WE REALIZE.

I WOULD THINK THAT IT'D BE A VERY SCARY THING TO DO. FOR BOTH THE GUY AND THE GIRL. YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU STAYED MARRIED, WONDER IF YOU CAN MAKE THE NEXT MARRIAGE WORK, ETC....

THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION KIDS. DO BOTH OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN? AND IF SO, HOW ARE THE CHILDREN GOING TO MIX TOGETHER.

VERY TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE.

PERSONALLY I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE THE GUTS TO DO IT. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I HAVEN'T FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THAT OTHER PERSON. IT JUST MEANS I'M TOO CHICKEN **** TO LEAVE MY CURRENT SITUATION.

Answer 7

You know what The first question I ever posted, "Should I file for support before my Husband's Mistress?" I made statements against my husband and his mistress and almost everyone's reply was that "She did not destroy your marraigae" and "Why are you mad at her?" Everyone indeed entitled to their own opinion. That being said,my opinion is that ANYONE who knowingly and willingly participates in the destruction (to ruin, demonish, tear apart or separate in a destructive manner). Home represents, a family unit which usually consist of several parts: mom,dad, children. They are both responsible. In my case my husband AND the ow are both homewreckers. To others who believe only one party is resposible for the actions of both parties.....your entitled. I invite you to revisit the forum AFTER you have experience the devastation and destruction that "homewreckers" commit to your family and children, intentinally For some the "lable" of the damaged that homewreckers cause may "go away". But for my two little children.......I don't think so. I am sure they will let them both know when they are old enough to stand up to these too "adults" and tell them exactly what they think.

Answer 8

My experience is that given the circumstances, the female is more likely to leave theirs, than a male is to leave his. Neither is good, and it usually takes a toll on both the old and new marriages to accomplish the feat!

Answer 9

No I would not marry a woman like that. I feel that a person like that can't be trusted

Answer 10

Its very difficult for both parties to leave their families. They will be hurting a lot of people just to make two people happy!! In this situation there are no winners!!
