Married women only...?

Question

Why do married women cheat?

Answer 1

maybe because their husbands have a tiny wanger

Answer 2

I don't condone cheating under any circumstances. I think you should leave someone before you cheat. Anyway, a lot of married women think they are unattractive to their husbands. This could be just the wife thinking that or maybe the husband does stuff like saying she's fat or something. I know a lot of men who do that, unfortunately. Some think their husbands neglect the romantic aspect of the relationship. Again, that could be real or imaginary. Unfortunately, alot of people who cheat (men and women) don't realize how they've neglected their relationship as well. Maybe their spouse's lack of attention is caused by, say, their constant nagging or spending too many hours at the office or out with drinking buddies. Anyway, I think a lot of women who cheat do so because they want to feel desired and youthful again.

Answer 3

I did it because I was so unhappy and thought it would make me feel better. It did, for a bit, but I just ended up hating myself even more than I already did. I made excuses to let myself think it was ok, like the fact that my husband has a much lower sex drive, but really, I never initiated anything. It really was a self esteem thing. The other guy made me feel sexy, wanted, special, while my husband was boring, the same old thing, and he wasn't very attentive. I'm not a bad person, I'm not a slut, I didn't go out to find someone to cheat with, I just happened to meet someone in a similar position as mine and we got to know each other and fill what was missing in each other's lives. It didn't last long, we're both stilll married, him maybe happier than I am, but I think he was feeling the same way I was.

Answer 4

I haven't cheated.

I know that a lot has to do with the way your husband treats you.

There are times when I'm sitting all alone at home, while my husband is out playing soccer with his friends. Then and only then he suggest that I should call my sister or go out an visit a friend. I need to be home, by the time he comes home.

I can't go out by myself cause he starts making all this excuses and is then that he wants to cuddle, etc... in the mean time he is tired or is busy doing homework.

So you tell me, when you don't get any attention at home and are treated more like a piece of furniture. What happens when a stranger comes along and pays attention, flirts with you etc...

Like I said before I haven't cheated and would file for divorce before I do that.

Answer 5

Both men and women cheat. Biggest thing is women are more mental and emotional by nature. Men are more physical and visual, scientific facts. Men can't control themselves. Men and women in marriages however are at equal blame for cheating, men just get caught more often then women because we have very long memories and can keep a story straight for longer then 2 days.

Answer 6

There could be a million different reasons. But there's always a need that isn't being met by the husband, even if it's not necesarily his job to meet that particular need.
For that matter, why do married MEN cheat? Same thing.

Answer 7

I really do not think it is an obvious reason, like needing sex, not being satasfied, not loving her husband, things like that.

I think it has to do with filling a void. Maybe she wants to feel more needed, more loved, special, sexy.

It is usually nothing basic, there are obviously issues in the relationship though.

However I have friends that are totally happily married and still feel the need to cheat. Makes no sense to me, usually though women have a reason behind it.

It might just be as basic as her self esteem, within herself.

Answer 8

I really don’t know why although I’m guessing same reason why men would cheat

In my opinion though, I can’t never hurt my husband like that. I value and respect too much to even think about another man touching my body.
God forbid, but if the time would come that I know- I would not be in love with him anymore. I would rather divorce/break up with him. It would probably hurt him, but not that kind of hurt that he would get from a cheating person and eventually he would move on.

BOTTOM LINE: My opinion, I don’t think you truly love your husband/wife if you have the nerve to cheat on him/her.

Answer 9

I've been married to my husband for 13 1/2 years and I've never cheated on him.

I would imagine that if a woman does cheat, it's because she feels (rightly or wrongly) unfulfilled.

Answer 10

Well, don't married man cheat too? The temptation is big in every marriage, and whether you love your spouse deeply doesn't mean you are not going to be tempted. The key part is that infidelity doesn't take over your life and break your marriage apart. And don't get feelings mixed up.

Answer 11

The same reason married men cheat. Lack of respect, no conscience, selfishness, to satisfy there own needs.
