LIke men, they enjoy the thrill of the chase. Once they've attained their prize, they lose interest and ditch the person, often going back to their original situation or chasing after another.

I think that cheating is never something someone WANTS to do - it has to deal with trust and love. People make mistakes, but if someone in a relationship is cheating, they are not being honest with themselves and their partners.

People usually cheat because they feel that there is something lacking in their relationships. Even though they may still want to be in the relationship because of love, convenience, or another reason, they also want their wants (like attention and pleasure) met, which is why people look elsewhere.

It's important to remember that it's not just women who do this, both males and females do this and not all of them. Unfortunately, some people just don't do the right thing and there are many reasons for this. It's better to respect your own morals and know that you wouldn't do that to another person. I'm sorry if this has happened to you and I hope you can find the respect you deserve from another human being who treats people better.

Not all women cheat, just like not all men cheat. Some women cheat because they have feelings for another person but they also have feelings for the person they are currently with, and do not want to let go. Other reasons could depend on the situation. For example, if there was alcohol involved, the woman could not have been in control, which is not an excuse. Another reason is that she may not have feelings for the person she is currently with and is too afraid to break up with the person because she does not want to fee like a bad person. All of these are reasons that a woman may cheat, but it does not mean that they are excusable.

Because sometimes it is easier to find solace out of a dying relationship than go through the pain of actually breaking up. Sometimes, they also want to identify it intimacy is the reason behind why their current relationship is not working out. And cheating is just being closer to someone else instead of your partner. Women get closer to another person while they drift apart from their partner and end up making the mistake of cheating and then they break up realising a. They either cheated, b. They are happier with the other person or c. They need to take a break

Some women or men want more than one person's attention. This isn't in every case, but some people don't see the error in what they're doing, and sometimes just see too many perks in not leaving and "having their cake, eating it too", as they say. Sometimes the other party needs to assert that that's definitely not okay and leave the cheater. It can be very hard, but a love with no trust isn't a love at all. I've been cheated on because i was the primary breadwinner in my relationship and I was used and they didn't want to leave because i had a lot of disposable income that i used on them and that relationship was very toxic. My life improved almost instantly after the grief of the break-up.

Not all women cheat instead of breaking up, and the same can be said about men. It's generally thought that women cheat instead of breaking up, because they feel as though they don't know how to break up with out hurting the other, or feel weak about what to do.

The reason women cheat instead of breaking up is because they feel stuck. They may still like the person they are in a relationship with but they may feel like they are forgotten about. Now this is only one reason why but just try to ask them why they cheated and don’t feel bad it wasn’t your fault they cheated.

The use of the phrase "cheat instead of breaking up" shows a general misunderstanding of why people cheat. Cheating doesn't always mean the person doesn't want to be in a relationship with their partner. It's a hurtful thing to do but the people who do it aren't doing it to hurt anyone. Women do not cheat instead of breaking up: people cheat because they want to experience something different than they're used to in a sexual/romantic way.
