It is all over the internet that Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert
Pattinson. Pictures have surfaced of Kristen having intimate moments with
her "Snow White and The Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders. Who
is a married man. Now, who would have thought that this couple would break
apart when it seems that they are perfect for each other. Or that Kristen
would do such infidelity to her partner? But my real question is why do
some women cheat? It seems to be easy and everywhere nowadays. I'm
a woman so I don't mean to point at my own kind. But a relationship's
supposed to be a two-way street so there should be reason for such act. I
made my research and found these common reasons why women cheat in a
relationship.
Although
in ranking, men has not yet been surpassed by women on the cheating scale who
aren't really far behind. Studies showed that 14% of married women have cheated
at least once compared to 22% of married men. But for my men readers, it would
still be nice to hear a feedback from you about this matter.
Sexless
or Inadequate Relationship Some women get
involved with other relationships plainly for sex. And the reasons for
majority of women who cheat on their partners are those who aren't getting
enough sex. Women are needy and they always feel wanted. If she
isn't given the proper attention she deserves in a relationship she may be
tempted to seek it elsewhere and become involved in an affair. That is
why it is very important, especially for married couples, to keep the fire
going by going out on dates and do things that were usually done on the start
of the relationship. Kissing and cuddling means a lot to us women.
Self-esteem Issues Having
self-esteem issues don't mean that a woman automatically cheats. But it's
when she feels insecure because she's not getting the right amount of attention
and admiration that she expects from her partner that would lead her to look
for someone to tell her that she's beautiful and desirable. Sex can be
self-esteem booster to make a woman feel sexier but even a little flattery
could go a long way. Remember that men.
Revenge When a woman feels wounded and
betrayed because her husband or partner cheated on her then she'll think of
hurting him back. Many women see a cheating partner as a justification to
have an affair of their own. It is hard to undo discretion but asking for
forgiveness and giving assurance that it will never happen again might need a
heavy work up in the relationship. A couple’s therapy could also help to
get through that rough time.
Feeling of Being
Lonely You could have
this huge house with a big bedroom but there's something or should I say
someone is lacking and that is the man of the house. He could be working
abroad or always on a business tour or severely workaholic. Women don't
need material things alone. She needs intimacy and the feel to be
connected in a relationship. This could be done be spending quality time
together like a romantic dinner or going to spa together or even just giving
her a foot massage.
Where
is the Love? A woman is versatile in many ways. She plays
the role of a cook, grocery-shopper, housekeeper, babysitter, etc. But
when she's starting to feel like a maid than a girlfriend or a wife, that's
when she could stray. A woman should feel loved and complimented by her
selfless deeds and not being taken for granted. A man doing his share around
the house is such a warm in the heart really.
Lack of Excitement Boredom is also
one factor into why women cheat. Even in the bedroom. Sex can be
monotonous if you let it and monotony makes some women find solution in
somebody else's arm. To avoid routine, avoid repetition.
Break Up Solution There are women
who don't like to deal with a broken relationship and opts for an
"easier" exit strategy and that is cheating. Or that's how she
sees it.
Power and Money Men
who are rich and those who holds powerful positions in the society are easy target
baits for women who seeks someone that will provide her with the material goods
that she thinks are far more important in her life.
Genuine Attraction Working
women who manages both home and work efficiently comes across many males.
It is not impossible that they may find someone more attractive than
their partner and fall in love.
Personally, I don't think there's any religion that would support
cheating. Sad as it may seem, but it is what's happening in our society. I just feel bad for broken homes and families as a result of infidelity. Now, If we are to summarize the common reasons pointed above, it only proves that women are
emotional being and those who cheat has her heart that needs healing and not
her libido. Whereas man cheat because it is his in his natural being (I still don't accept this for the record). But with a problem like this, both man and woman has to work out a resolution. To her partner, he just have to be supportive not only
physically but emotionally as well. Most of all, communication is very important in a relationship - cheating or not cheating. :-)
