Why do women cheat instead of breaking up?

Many women cheat (instead of breaking up) when their husbands don't treat them right. For example: if the husband is too busy with his job and is ignorant to his wife, she might find a friend or someone who's actually there for her and listens to her and so women would want to be with them. But they would also not want to leave their husband because they still love them and want to be with them. And so they cheat on them, but only because they want to be loved and cared for. This doesn't justify why they'd do such a thing, I'm just saying that this could be ONE of the many reasons

I think this a very general statement that simply isn't true for all cases. Yes, some women cheat - and some men cheat. And some women break up, and some men break up. It's really a case by case situation, each person has their own reasons for doing whatever it is they do. When it comes to cheating, I think there's two general reasons why people do it - one is that they're fearful of ending a relationship in case they lose something without having something else to replace it. The other reason is that some people like to have their cake and eat it too - essentially, they want a partner, but also the freedom to do whatever they want. But even those two reasons are broad generalisations that give a very simplistic explanation for these situations, and again, probably don't cover the specifics of each individual case. The only way you'll ever understand why a particular person cheated is to ask that person their reasons, and maybe they might tell you.

When we speak of cheating instead of breaking up in the terms of women I believe it is through a few different reasons. For one I must say this isn’t every women, not every lady you date will cheat instead of break up if they feel things are not right. When a woman cheats I believe a major factor to be is fear. If communication is an issue in the relationship or they have suffered abuse in the past they may be scared to tell you that they have found someone else they care about or love. This could be because a previous lover was abusive if they talked to other people or they just don’t know how to communicate the issue. Communication is a big part of every relationship

Love between two people is very strong, and so are connections. If a woman doesn’t feel loved, she might seek it elsewhere, even if she may still be attached to whomever she is currently with. Going through a breakup is extremely hard and a lot of ordeal, so it’s easier to cheat and deal with the consequences rather than leave. Sexual compatibility also plays a big factor, it’s very possible to love and be in love with someone, but not be compatible sexually which can be incredibly frustrating. Even though a woman is in love with that person doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have needs. It can be very hard to not be compatible with someone you love and seek validation elsewhere.

Cheating regardless of gender happens for many reasons. Often times it can be a problem in the relationship, but it can also have to do with problems with the individual. People get stuck sometimes and the novelty of new experience can give people an invigorating rush. Especially during challenging life moments that cause a person to question their identity. If there are relationship problems; it can be a lack of communication, compassion, attraction, or any other number of problems. While it's difficult you have to ask yourself; is this person worth it. Is it worth trying to work through it? If you can, engage them in an honest conversation. Try to remain calm and understanding. Only you can decide if you can bridge the gap that has formed between you two.

Breaking up with a partner can be scary. Especially if we haven’t been so open about what we want in that relationship. We often hide our emotions and avoid expressing them to our partner. And by doing that, we lose a bond that we could potentially have with that person, and our connection is no longer that strong. Also, there could be other negative things and issues that can weaken relationships, such as trust issues or abusive behavior. Women often cannot leave their partners because they’re afraid of the unpredictability of their actions. They’re simply stuck. And although cheating is a very bad act, sometimes women do it because they simply do not see another option. That’s why we shouldn’t be so quick to judge them, but should rather listen to their stories first.

First of all, I personally think its not about being a woman or man but rather the way that person is, as in their personality and attitude. :) There can be a couple of reasons why people cheat on their partners and not break up. Firstly, it could be the fact that they don't want to hurt their partner by dumping them, but they assume it's fine to cheat on their partners which obviously is more painful than getting dumped. Secondly, some would need more and more attention, as they might find getting attention from just a single person inadequate. Additionally, some even does it for fame, as they might want to be known as the "player", as this gives more attention as well.

Because they feel bad for their partner, they feel as though they cannot voice their own opinion on the relationship and because they don’t want to hurt their partners feelings. They feel like they need a break or a separation of the reality that they have with their partner so they seek that in other people and other partners. It is also because they might feel trapped in a relationship and/or they want more control and a break from the mundane routine of everyday life. It might be to encounter lust and sensuality again or because they are truly confused with the current relationship. Whatever it is, it happens for a reason.

We have to think in both ways.Maybe they like you but dont want to lose you. There are cases where men cheat too.They all like you for some reason but,they think we are lacking somewhere.So,they try to compensate it by going to others to fill the void.This doesnt actually mean that we are lacking.It means that,they are not the one,if you find such person,then keep your distance.You will know when the right person comes. It saves time,energy,resources and heart break .Your partner should be someone who you can satisfy and you are more than satisfied with.Dont settle for less!!

I believe that women cheat because they are afraid of hurting the person that they are with. The loss of feelings for someone or new feelings for someone else can be a lot to take in emotionally for a lot of women. Women who do cheat may feel afraid of your reaction, as well as hurting you. In order to abstain from hurting you they may turn to secretly carrying on a relationship with someone else. This is to prevent emotional harm to you or to the person they are with. Some women feel as if they have no other choice but to cheat. This is definitely not the case for all women, but this is the case for some.
