Women can be as hyper-sexual as men are sometimes. But we also love hard. Sometimes this can get us into tough situations if not being satisfied properly/regularly by our lover. It's a cruel thing to cheat on anyone, it shows irresponsibility, desperation, and lack of communication. I can't say that I have never cheated, but I can say that seeing the person I love hurt over someone who may be less important is painful. Personally, I've been loyal since I became an adult. It takes a person to really look inside themselves to see what the really want or need, so that their partner will know how to keep you satisfied or book it if it's too much pressure.

People cheat because they don't want to lose what they already have while being unhappy enough to try something else. Sometimes it's just like an insurance policy. Sometimes they really prefer to stay in the relationship, just that they like the excitement of something new. It isn't just women, it's anyone in any relationship.

When a man is seriously in love but never gives acceptance to his lady love and impose things on her just because he loves her then the women wants to seek for some other person who accepts her. So rather than breaking up she choses to cheat as she's afraid of the reaction of the man too. As sometimes man may take things on their ego. So with this assumption ,they do so.

Saying that women cheat instead of breaking up is like saying that all guys beat up their girlfriends. It doesn't work like that. 1) I think certain women might cheat because they are just like that. It's their personality, they don't know how to commit to relationship. 2) Some women might want to find something new. 3) Some woman might not have the guts to break up with her boyfriend. There are a million other reasons. Don't assume that everyone woman is bad because of bad experiences.

Maybe they are afraid of losing their value if they are single. Your worth never depend on anything or anyone. Cheating is a mistake but you can learn a lot about yourself and your point of vue about yourself based on why you cheated.

Some women cheat instead of breaking up because they can't actually watch their partner go. Despite the fact that they are unhappy and find comfort with the person they are cheating with, they still have strong feelings for their partner. They also know their partner is better than the person they are cheating with and most other guys out there so would prefer cheating and still have the 'one' still around them

Probably the same reason as to why men cheat instead of breaking up. They dont want to lose their lover but wish to find someone else that they feel can complete whatever their lover is lacking

The feeling of being wanted is something everyone craves for in a relationship,and If they don't get it from their partner,they look for other people who do.

in my experience we feel as though the relationship isn't as fun as it was and we needing for attention something that makes our heart skip a beat but at the same time we don't want to let go just yet so we go for the option of cheating although its not right both sexes do it.

I think women cheat instead of breaking up because they may feel like their partner has forgotten about them. Instead of talking to their partner about how they feel, they cheat so they can get some attention. They might think that "maybe if i do this, then 'so and so' will realize that they need to put in some more work, and maybe they will get jealous".
I also think that sometimes people just don't think about what they're doing. Maybe they miss that feeling of the first kiss. Or maybe they are just unhappy in their relationship and need a reason to end things.
