Women Who Betray Their Men – Why Do They Do It?

Men have little control over whether or not their women step out on them – it’s their perception of the state of the relationship, and not the reality, that motivates them. For whatever reason, once a woman decides that there’s something missing in your relationship, she’s stepped over the line and at that point, her man’s pretty much helpless to stop her. Her cheating will be blamed on you, of course, because you’re the one she’ll hold liable for the failures in the relationship.

Women in relationships want to be reminded that they’re in a relationship. They want to feel cherished all the time, and they want their men to talk with them. When this need isn’t met, they’ll claim that an emotional distance has grown and that the relationship is suffering as a result. What do women want? It’s a question that’s been asked for eons, and whatever answers have been given always seem to fall short. In a relationship, a woman wants to have her sense of worth fortified by her man. If, at the end of the day, she doesn’t feel that sense of worth, she’ll blame her man no matter what he’s actually done. Without the emotional closeness, the relationship’s on rocky ground, and a woman is often likely to step out in search of a new man.

The second reason women will cheat on their men is neglect. That’s reasonable, but it’s still fraught with pitfalls. The man who’s always underfoot, always in his woman’s face, will soon be considered to be clingy: too dependent, too needy, too immature – and too replaceable. She’ll feel confined. On the other hand, however, when a man understands that he’s got to give his woman time on her own to grow, and enhance those things he loves about her, she might decide he doesn’t really care. She might decide he’s neglecting her, and she’ll use that space to find another man.

Most women place great importance on their appearance. Right or wrong, it’s the root of much of their self-esteem, and a man who fails to compliment her on her beauty, especially after she’s spent much time on it, is a man who’s risking his woman stepping out on him. Her self-esteem will be get the reinforcement it needs from another man, she’ll think, because she feels she’s no longer getting that in her relationship – no matter what her man’s actually doing. While most men understand a woman’s need for self-esteem and try to reinforce it, if a woman feels she’s not getting enough attention in this area, chances are good she’s going to step out.

Finally, a woman is likely to cheat on her man if she simply feels bored and needs a change of scene. Like a monkey swinging in the trees who won’t let go of one branch until there’s another to grab, she’s content to go about the motions of staying in a relationship when in reality, she’s already written it off and is looking for a new man. The fact that she’s loath to end her relationship before attempting to form a new one suggests that her new man and her new relationship will probably suffer just as much from her lack of consideration and her immaturity.

No matter why your woman cheats on you, the prospects for a long and enduring relationship together were dim. How can a man continue to love a woman who respects him so little she’ll cheat on him?Any man wants to spend his life with a woman who loves and respects him – certainly not traits of a woman who cheats on her man.
