Firstly, every woman is different, so this doesn't apply to everyone, but in my experience, women cheat because they're unsatisfied in only a part of their relationship, so they want to find that part in another person.

Anyone can cheat, men and woman. I believe people cheat instead of breaking up because they still want there partner or they are using their partner for somthing or scared to be without their partner but they also may feel the need for attention else where, self esteem boost, they are selfish, they like the risk etc etc the list could go on forever.

Sometimes people, not just women, are very afraid of being alone. Most people have trouble to admit this. Often times, people do not act badly out of malicious intent, but rather out of fear and self-preservation. This is instinctual for human beings and it can be difficult to recognize and change our behaviour to face our fears and do the right thing - talk about our feelings.

low self esteem and lack of communication. needs validation by being in control that way. selfishness is a big part. sad thing is they feel so bad about themselves that being used for sex makes them feel like a somebody

They cheat because maybe there partners doing the same thing, it there loves fade away or maybe you do something that is hurtful

Speaking from the perspective of a woman, I feel this question is very generalized. Though, I believe women get to cheat because they are not fulfilled in their current relationship, but they tend to have faith, and hope that somehow things will eventually get better. So they cheat, but don't leave the relationship, because maybe one day he will grant all their wishes and they will be happy.

Because they, unlike men, have much stronger emotional connections than men do. They may seek that sort of attention from someone else, yet still want their original person. That said, men can be that way too.
