Reasons Why Women Cheat

Women who betray their men are usually driven by forces within themselves, and will do so regardless of their man's actions. For whatever reason, once a woman decides that there's something missing in your relationship, she's stepped over the line and at that point, her man's pretty much helpless to stop her. Because she's already determined that the reason for her cheating is something you've neglected to do, she'll easily be able to blame her cheating on you.

Emotional distance, the first of these reasons, is cited as the reason for many breakups.  The complaint? "He doesn't pay enough attention to me, we don't communicate enough." Women in relationships need to feel needed, admired, beautiful - and they expect their men to satisfy those needs.  They expect men to be alert to, and receptive to, their feelings, and to talk about themselves and their feelings as well.  If these things aren't happening, they'll feel their man is "drifting away," a harbinger of more serious problems. A woman who feels her man isn't doing his part is a woman who'll look for a man who'll stay emotionally close to her.

Women will cheat on their men if they feel neglected.  Now, "neglect" is difficult to define generally, because what's neglect for one woman is personal space to another.  Women must be free to grow, and a man who's always there actually prevents that.  It's something that'll only be figured out over time as the relationship grows, but if a woman feels ignored, she's likely to seek a man who'll pay more attention to her.

Self-esteem isn't just something we want to instill in our children - we all need it.  Women in a relationship need to have their self-esteem fortified by their men.  The conclusion here is plain - if a man won't say and do the things necessary to bolster his woman's self-esteem, she's going to find someone who will, even if by all criteria her man's actions were adequate. Her self-esteem will be get the reinforcement it needs from another man, she'll think, because she feels she's no longer getting that in her relationship - regardless of what her man's actually doing. While most men understand a woman's need for self-esteem and try to reinforce it, if a woman feels she's not getting enough attention in this area, chances are good she's going to cheat.

Finally, a woman is likely to cheat on her man if she simply feels bored and needs a change of scene. The woman who does this is particularly immature, because she needs the constant sense of being in a relationship as opposed to being on her own, strong, independent and in charge of her own life. The fact that she's loath to end her relationship before attempting to form a new one suggests that her new man and her new relationship will probably suffer just as much from her lack of consideration and her immaturity.

No matter why your woman cheats on you, the chances for a long and enduring relationship together were dim. The trust and respect that absolutely must exist if a relationship's going to be successful are destroyed when the woman cheats on her man. Any woman who comes to the conclusion that she's not getting what she needs from you, and that she's therefore justified in cheating on you, doesn't deserve to be with you in the first place.
