From my experience in talking with other women I learned that women cheat because of;
1.Emotional Starvation
While studies suggest that men who cheat are primarily motivated by sex, women who cheat tend to do so to fill an emotional need.3 And in the case of an emotional affair, sex isn’t part of the equation at all. Whether the affair is physical or emotional in nature, a woman may cheat because they crave conversation, empathy, respect, devotion, adoration, support, or some other connection that’s lacking in their current relationship.
“Some people convince themselves emotional is not a real affair. However, most sexual ones start emotional,” says Naked truth In The Dark “I find it pretty rare to have an only sexual affair without some emotions because they usually start as friends. That’s how you start crossing boundaries and justify the behavior.”
2. Sexual inconsistency
Sex holds as much importance for women as it does for men. Thus, lacking the sexual ‘thrill’ that might have been the norm early in your relationship can intrigue women to search for it elsewhere.
One way to make your sex life more pleasurable and meaningful is to practice sexual mindfulness. A recent study published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy describes how the principles of awareness, curiosity, and presence of mind when incorporated into your sex life, work wonders for couples who might perceive their spark to be fading.
3. In some cases the he issue of money makes women to cheat on their partners when he cannot meet their needs financially, she falls for a man who showers her with money.
4.In my studies on women’s infidelity, I found women were outsourcing the sexual pleasure in their relationships in an effort to remain in their primary partnerships.”They believed that if they continued to go without their sexual needs being met, they would have to break up their families and break their partner’s heart. None of the women made the decision to cheat lightly. After years and sometimes decades of trying to improve things in their marriages, they decided to look elsewhere.”
5.research shows that women are much more likely than men to initiate divorce, or break up with a lover,and are happier after divorce/ breakup than men. But, for women who struggle with guilt over leaving a partner, feel like he needs her, and don’t feel their own happiness is enough justification to reach escape velocity in their relationship, cheating gives them a way to cope / stay within a unfulfilled relationship.
