Okay, we spilled the beans on why men cheat, so let’s take a closer look at why wives and girlfriends cheat. First of all, women are far more emotional beings, so their reasoning is clearly different in many respects, but not all.

The definitive Top 10 reasons why wives and girlfriends  cheat

1) Yes, it is going to sound corny, but most women cheat to fulfill an unmet need for emotional intimacy or a desired close emotional bond. For those men battling to understand, the time she asked you for a cuddle and you said later, well, someone else got the later…
2) She no longer is happy with you. Sounds dumb, but if you are not working at it, she will find someone who satisfies her, and this is on a more emotional than sexual level. But bad sex does not help.

3) Unhappy with her marriage or relationship.
4) You have ignored her for so long that she has a desire for any male attention.
5) This one is very similar to what some men go through when they cheat. The woman needs to know she is still desirable as a woman. The man who shows her that gets her in the sack.
6) Remember when you used to send her flowers and have date nights? Well, she does and she will do anything  to re-capture the feelings of romance and passion.
7) A lot of women cheat because their partners no longer make them feel ‘special’.
8) A lot of women stray because they are bored or lonely.
9) When a woman has feelings of neglect or feel they are being taken for granted…
10) About the only one men can relate to, the need for sexual excitement. That spark between a man and a woman can kill an existing relationship.

And a special bonus answer:

11) Closeness. Yes, women may cheat just because they feel close to someone.

So there you have it, why the woman you love may leave you for another man… And if you have noticed a trend, it is simple, women need an emotional connection, while men need a sexual connection.
