Why women cheat
Women want to be desired. Being wanted is a feeling that women never shun.
A lack of it from their supposedly the most intimate partner, women find it elsewhere.
It’s called cheating.
Loneliness triggers cheating, according to a recent study from the U.K. Undercover Lovers, a UK-based extramarital dating site.
Cheating women, it found, are much more likely to want and/or need an intimate emotional bond with their affair partner.
Women measure themselves more by their partner’s opinion than men do, according to the report.
Their self-worth and sense of security came more from the partner’s comment and attitude, added the report.
They also dealt with people with intimacy issues. Some of the female relationship addicts kept being promiscuous.
They avoided being in a relationship. The hurt from the past reminded them to be aware of the same thing happening again.
To them, being genuine or intimate with someone was the warning signs. They might get hurt again.
They defined themselves by feeling control over someone wanting them.
Women wanted appreciation for who she is rather than what she does.
They valued non-sexual meaningful interaction: touching, kissing, cuddling, gift-giving, being remembered were included.
Women who were not met with those needs had it compensated in other forms of disorder. The emptiness inside had to be dealt with.
The symptoms were alcohol or drug abuse, compulsive spending, binge or consistent overeating, etc.
Some women have unrealistic expectations. A spouse should satisfy them perfectly, in their opinion.
Narcissistic and immature women may expect a significant other to meet their every single need.
They want their partners to be mind-reader, knowing exactly what those needs are.
When their human and imperfect partner inevitably fails them, they feel justified in seeking attention elsewhere, the report analyzed.
Early childhood trauma or sexual abuse might result in addictive sex or serial cheating.
Such women seek repeated intensity rather than relational intimacy.
Those women are with unresolved childhood trauma as well as emotional instability.
They might carry an uneven and disjointed sense of self, according to the report.
Compulsive relationship disorder, however, was exhibited by men as well, the report added.
