Why do women cheat instead of breaking up?

That's not always true. People who cheat, men or women, usually are just confused about what they actually want. Maybe they just can't find a way to ask for a break up decently and got frustrated from that.

Not all do. Women as well as men may have different reasons for not wanting to break up, for example fear of conflict or violence, fear of lonliness, or just because they aren't sure about their feelings.

Some women are comfortable with the men they are with even though they aren’t happy. They want to maintain the happy relationship image than breakup and deal with all the emotions after a breakup. By cheating women feel a sence of power & a sence of independence to do what they want, but they can come back to their significant other who knows them like no other.

women are sensitive than male. most of the time when they want to get over someone they talk to someone close leading to get emotionally attached most of the time (Not judging). leading them to cheat than break up and then they have no choice.

That's not true, not all women cheat instead of breaking up. And if that happens, it the communication that lacks in the relationship.

Well now, you can say the same thing about mens as well. But there are many reasons depending on each individual. So someone might cheat firstly cause they just aren't committed to you. Or they might not take this relationship seriously. Also someone might cheat because they feel like your not giving them attention or care and they try to get that from other people. Some other people cheat cause they can't lose their partner, their scared because at the same time they may not love you exactly the way you love them but they do care about you and don't want you hurt. The thing is, there are many reasons why people would cheat and not break up, but you got to ask them why, because you could be equally faulted as well, maybe you don't care as much or pay attention to your partner and neglect them which could lead them to cheat even when they might still love you?

women are light hearted,and thus too afraid to break someone's heart directly,thus they might avoid it by not letting it out

It depends on the woman. Some still have emotions tied to the person but don’t know how to leave. So they rather get the partner to break up with them so it will remove the guilt

Sometimes people cheat. Men and women. It's best to try and understand 'why' people cheat. There are many reasons and some are easier to understand than others. Talking through 'cheating' can help you both to see 'why' and sometimes help resolve the issues.

Cheating is neither a female nor male issue, they both do it. People cheat for many reasons but most of them fall in one or both of two categories: something lacking in their relationship or something lacking in themselves. No matter the reason cheating is never okay. If it has already happened there is still hope but only if each party is willing to be very honest and do a lot of work.
