REASONS WHY WOMEN CHEAT AND HOW TO MOVE ON

 20% to 50% of women cheat in their marriages. There are reasons why they do. A woman treated better by her partner finds it hard to cheat. People find it difficult to admit that they cheat.

Women value emotional affairs more than physical ones. People find it challenging to move on after being cheated on. Relationships fail due to cheating, leading to emotional strain. Cheating leads to reduced feelings among couples and loss of trust. Kissing, sending naughty texts and pictures or flirting with a different partner is cheating. Men believe there is a development of sexual feelings when that happens.

Why Women Cheat

People consider sexual contact as the only form of cheating. It is the root course of cheating. People take it as a mistake and not cheating if it happened once. Women feel insecure and worried about the relationship’s stability if the man cheats.

Below are the reasons that lead women to cheat.

Demographics

Women of different ages cheat. Research shows that a certain population of women is more likely to cheat than others. Upper-class and unhappy women are likely to cheat. Adolescents focus on sexual acts. Male adolescents focus on sexual behavior with genital contact, while female adolescents include non-physical affairs such as cheating.

Based on the student population in college, personal factors take a larger fraction in cheating than situation factors. Personal factors include selfish behavior. 60% of college students have experienced a sexual form of cheating.

Having a college degree does not prevent cheating. Being religious lowers the chances of cheating.

Emotional Negligence

A lack of emotional interest from a lover pushes a woman to disloyalty. The emotional unavailability may not be from the man’s side. A woman may have grown up in a background where she was undergoing the same thing, making her cheat on her husband. Women in this state prefer getting someone different to give them attention and care.

Online Affair Gone Overboard

There is a rising issue of online sites that matches married with singles. Women fall into this trap and find themselves cheating. Once a woman feels like she is not satisfied with her relationship, she ditches into the online pool where men are willing to do what she wants. It leads to losing your partner. 

Loneliness

A man giving attention to either his work or friends leads to the woman cheating. Leavin a family unattended to or failing to appreciate the woman’s effort leads to cheating. Isolation and loneliness take control, fueling an affair outside the relationship.

Sexual Curiosity

A new relationship is perfect. Keeping the sexual sparks becomes challenging as time goes by. Some take it lightly, but others explore due to an irresistible sexual drive. Watching adult movies leads to a woman desiring a different feeling. Failure to do so psyches her to look for someone better.

Self-Medication and Depression

People are happy in a new relationship because the brain quickly pumps out dopamine and serotonin-producing chemicals when attracted to someone. A depressed person takes antidepressants to induce the chemical. However, if they find someone who understands them, they get attracted and cheat on their husbands.

How to Move on If You’ve Cheated

Some people ask if it is possible to prevent women from cheating. Not all women cheating for the first time cheat again. Some are prone to cheating, no matter how you treat them.

Move on from such people by doing the following;

It is difficult to move when cheated on with your wife. It depends on their relationship and personal views on whether they want it to work. 

• Put effort into the healing processes to strengthen the relationship.
• Participate in couple and individual counseling.
• End the relationship if making up won’t work. 

Ending the relationship does not have to make you enemies. You can still keep checking on each other with no strings attached.

The Bottom Line

Women who cheat have reasons. Some look for a perfect lover or maybe do it to punish. These relationships don’t last. Seek guiding counseling or end the relationship.
