You have a hot girlfriend, a solid relationship and she would never cheat on you… right? Wrong. You should never underestimate a woman’s willingness to stray because women can be just as unfaithful as men in relationships–especially if you’re not taking care of your business at home. Here are some reasons why women cheat.
1. Lack of intimacy
The one thing women want most in a relationship is intimacy. It’s not just sex that makes women feel connected in a relationship–it’s things like touching, kissing and communicating. Women crave intimacy it, and they could seek it elsewhere if they’re not getting it at home. To achieve better intimacy and give your woman a sense of closeness, spend quality time with her and do special things like massaging her feet, preparing a romantic dinner for two, etc… Routine sex in the same position and the same setting can become very boring, but an affair could add adventure and get her adrenalin flowing. Doing unexpected things like surprising her with a weekend getaway and having date nights can add that same kind of excitement to your relationship.
2. She feels neglected and ignored
Women want to feel wanted; however, if they feel more like servants instead of your girlfriend, they could stray. Also, spending all your time at work or out with the fellas when you are off gives her even more reason to seek attention elsewhere. Women are emotional beings and they need their men to be present in the relationship and provide emotional support to them. Once you start neglecting and ignoring your relationship– cheating is inevitable.
3. Revenge for your cheating
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Because you cheated, you broke her trust (and, possibly her heart) and she wants to hurt you the same way you hurt her. You can’t undo your indiscretions, but you can ask for her forgiveness, assure her it will never happen again and suggest relationship counseling to help the two of you. To regain her trust, it’s not enough just to tell her you’re sorry–you’ll have to show her with your actions.
4. She senses the relationship ending
Women are emotional beings. Not only do they need physical support, but they also need emotional support. When a woman feels that uneasy sense that the relationship is ending, by either her doing or his, she will often look to fill the void externally to soften the blow. So, in her mind, she’s not really cheating–she’s moving on. To avoid this, be present in the relationship. That means sharing your feelings and not being an emotionally unavailable man.
