Why Do Women Cheat?

• Women cheat for the same reason that men cheat. It is simply because they are in love with two people. They can't control these feelings, love is just a natural occurring emotion.
   
• Being in a loveless marriage.
   
• The fantasy has fizzled. A corollary to fizzling passion occurs when the romance fades and she realizes her man  is not the fantasy man she fell in love with. Instead, he’s a mass of irksome habits that are starting to get under their skin.
  
   
• Their interests with their spouses have diverged. He wants to shoot pool with his buddies or watch football during his free time; you’d rather go shopping or watch Soap Operas.
   
• When a woman feels like little more than a household drudge, attention from someone else becomes extremely seductive.
  
  
   

• Familiarity has bred indifference. The most common justification for infidelity heard from women is that they feel taken for granted.
   
• Women are less likely to cheat than men. While estimates of infidelity are difficult to establish, surveys consistently reveal that wives tend to be more faithful than husbands.
   
• When a wife does cheat on her husband, she is more likely to have an emotional affair. Women are less likely than men to have a one night stand.

• Because women are more likely to have an emotional affair, cheating wives tend to cheat with someone who is part of their social group – a friend, a co-worker, someone from school, church, etc.
   
• A cheating wife is also more likely to swap up when she cheats. Cheating wives tend to have affairs with men who have more status and resources than their husbands. Or women cheat with men who are better relational partners – someone who is more attentive, appreciative and understanding.

• A cheating wife is also more likely to consider leaving her husband when she is having an affair. Because female infidelity tends to be based on emotional intimacy, women often attach more significance to an affair.

• When women cheat, they are also more likely to view their infidelity as a symptom of the problems in their relationship. By comparison, men have an easier time separating infidelity from the problems they face at home.

• Women are also more likely to draw positive inferences about their physical appearance when they are cheating (e.g., I'm still attractive, I'm still desirable, etc.).

• Her Lover Gave Her The Attention She Believed She Needed
   
• She longs for affection, but with none coming from her husband, she gets it from a lover. The false belief that women are less sexual than men, is just that, FALSE! Women crave sex just as much as men do, if not more. When she is not getting it at home, the cheating wife often times seeks sexual satisfaction outside the home.
   
• When a husband doesn’t ignite her passions by being affectionate and romantic, a woman can quickly spiral into the “I don’t feel loved anymore,” doldrums. When she gets to that stage, she is a prime candidate for an affair. When the right man starts paying attention to her by complimenting her and making her feel beautiful, watch out; she’s subject to become a cheating wife!
   
• She Married For All The Wrong Reasons.
   
• She Switched Teams. It should go without saying that there are more and more women engaging in lesbianism.
   
• When a woman does have a one night stand, it tends to be with someone who is more attractive and physically fit than her husband.
   
• She Wants To Get Revenge. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"

• Women are also more likely than men to use cheating as a means of getting revenge. While using infidelity to "get even" is rare, "revenge cheating" is more common among women.
