It was not so long ago, another celebrity by the name of Leann Rimes cheated on her husband and then eventually married the man she had the affair with. So it is not just the husbands who will cheat on their wives, because wives do cheat on their husbands just as well. This cheating phenomenal therefore is not limited to just the rich and famous, as it can happen to any plain Jane or John Doe in this world.
Why do wives cheat in general?
There are many reasons why wives cheat on their husbands. In most cases, wives cheat on their husbands as a result of something that the husbands did (or did not do in some cases). Many husbands cheat because they are not satisfied with having just one women in their lives. These men just want to sleep around with many women at different times. You will rarely find too many wives cheating on their husbands because they want to be sleeping around with different men at the same time. Most wives ended up cheating as a result of what had happened with their husbands. Some of the situations that can cause the wives to cheat include:
Scorned wives can cheat on their husbands partly for the sake of revenge
Most wives tried everything to keep their men happy. They will keep a clean household for their men to come home to, they will cook to keep their husbands stomach happy, and one quite important "chore", to be a good wife and always give in to the sexual needs of their husbands. Then when these wives find out that their husbands still cheated on them, even when they have done everything by the textbook and yet it still was not enough for their husbands. This is when some of these wives will feel very betrayed and then will seek the comfort of another man other than their husbands. It is almost like a revenge for these women because they want their husbands to feel the type of betrayal that they have been feeling.
Women who are ignored throughout the years might look to have an affair
Some husbands just lose "interest" in their wives as the years go by in the marriage. The husbands' needs can shift after many years of marriage and not require that emotional and sexual intimacy with their wives. Since these wives are very fragile and emotional creatures, they need all the love and attention even 5, 10, 20 years after the marriage just as much as the day or month after the marriage. Some wives who are not getting enough attention from their husbands might turn to another man for the attention that they craved for.
So it should be noted that men and women are created equal nowadays. Just as much as the husband cheat on their wives, wives nowadays have the same power in their hands to cheat on their husbands if they chooses to do so. So if you are looking to avoid such rift in the relationship, make sure that you keep an open line of communication. Talk to one another constantly and if something bothers your spouse, make sure you resolve the issue right away and not the problem linger. The longer the problem lingers, the lonelier the spouse will feel, and the chances that he or she will look to have an extramarital affair will become greater.
Whether you should have an affair or not is a big decision, therefore you should take the time to weigh out the advantages versus the disadvantages. Even though the act of cheating on your spouse or significant other can be exhilarating and exciting, you should still think twice before engaging in any kind of discreet affair with someone else. Once you have decided that having an affair is worth it, you should definitely make sure that you take all the necessary steps to make sure no one will ever find out about it.
