Unfortunately, women cheat on men for many reasons. Whoever assumes that men are the biggest cheats in a relationship are sadly mistaken. Women cheat just as much as men, if not more. I know that this may be a bit of a sweeping generalisation but women cheat on men for very different reason than why men cheat on women. Most men cheat for sex, and as an ego boost whereas most women cheat for emotional reasons. If a woman feels truly loved and cared for by her partner then she will rarely cheat. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.

Women need to feel wanted sexually and emotionally. It is also important for a woman to feel that she is truly loved and understood by her partner. A woman likes to talk about everything, often a lot more than men. She wants to feel that her partner is fully engaged in her conversation. She will soon start to feel disheartened and unheard by her partner if he only half listens to her. This will slowly start to build resentment within her.

Women like to be made a fuss of. Anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day and other special occasions are important dates to her. A man who remembers these days and makes a fuss of his partner on these special days will make a woman feel loved and special. However, if her husband or boyfriend treats these days as just another day, she will slowly start to feel that she is not very special to him.

It is important to compliment your wife or girlfriend. Women love when their partner compliments their appearance and notices litte changes they may have made. If her partner continuously ignores her then she will begin to feel insignificant to him.

Generally, it takes quite a long catalogue of events and hurts before a woman will seek solace elsewhere and cheat on her man. Often she will cheat with someone who has been showing her the love and affection that she has been lacking at home. She will feel guilty about cheating on her husband or boyfriend but will find it difficult to resist the attentions of another man if she is being treated like a piece of furniture at home.

We are all the same, men and women, all we want is to feel truly loved, understood, wanted and appreciated by our partners and if we don't receive the love and attention that we need from our partners then it is often difficult to resist the admirations and attentions elsewhere.
