The numbers of cheating are quite alarming if you look at modern statistics. One of the most alarming facts of all, for many men, is that the amount of women who cheat almost equals the number of men who cheat. This is the first time that’s happened in the history of humanity. The thing to keep in mind is that the reasons women cheat are often very different from the reasons men cheat. These are a few of among the most commonly stated reasons women cheat on their men.
She Needs Something Her Husband/Boyfriend Isn’t Giving Her
We all have needs. It’s humanity. Successful relationships are all about both parties having their needs met. This requires a major level of effective communication about your individual needs, what they are, and how those needs are best met. And that’s a challenge for many couples. A big one.
The other challenge is that she doesn’t always know what that need is until someone comes along and leaves her completely gobsmacked by meeting it. It’s hard to take on that. However, that doesn’t excuse her cheating either. It just makes her vulnerable to the person who is meeting this need she’s had that’s left her unfulfilled for such a long time.
He Pays Attention
Women who cheat often feel lonely despite being married. You may not be the best conversationalist, but when you stop paying attention to your wife and what she needs to say, it leaves her feeling lonely, alone, and isolated.
It makes her the perfect fodder for a man interested in a “string free” relationship with a married woman or for a man who really has his eye on the prize your wife really is. All he needs to do to make her putty in his hands is pay attention to her, hear what she needs to say, and respond in a positive manner.
She Feels Like She’s Being Taken for Granted at Home
Many women feel unappreciated in the home. She believes that her efforts aren’t noticed or appreciated by her family and her husband. She feels like it’s always taken for granted that she’ll be there and also nobody really cares that she is.
Then a stranger comes along and shows appreciation, makes her feel like the center of the universe, and really notices the little things. She’s no more feeling taken for granted. In fact, she’s feeling a wide variety of emotions she hasn’t felt in a long period of time, one of the most important of which is excitement.
Women are less likely to cheat simply because the opportunity happens. Most of the time, it isn’t a spur of the moment decisions and it isn’t often casual. That’s why women’s affairs are often more devastating to the state of the marriage than a man’s affair. Actively work to avoid this from happening by caring about your wife, noticing the details, showing your appreciation, and dedicating yourself to discovering and meeting her essential needs. You’ll be amazed at what a difference these steps make in your marriage and your relationship.
