Can a husband's behavior force a woman to be unfaithful

Every person is in control of their own thoughts and actions. However, the actions of another can have deep impacts on which road a person will choose to take. This is true in the case of marriage.

A woman may ultimately choose to be unfaithful, but most do not set out, from the beginning, with the intention of doing so. A woman doesn't marry with thought in mind that one day, she'd like to cheat on her husband, and in turn wreak havoc on her marriage, any children that are involved, and her personal life in general. Rather, most women marry because they believe they are in love, that they have found someone who will love them forever, and that that person will put their needs first, taking care of them physically, spiritually and emotionally.

These are big shoes to fill. And sadly, few husbands are able to live up to the picture perfect image women have ingrained in their minds that they should be. Not that being a good, successful husband is an impossibility, but it takes more sacrifice for a man than most realize when they say, "I do.". In today's world, many women are unfaithful to their men. Some cheat simply because they are the "cheating kind". Others, though, are driven to it.

A very common reason why a wife may be driven to cheat is simply because she has been cheated on herself. Perhaps the husband has come clean about an affair, and the couple has decided to try to work things out. Or, maybe, he doesn't even know she knows. Either way, over time, the infidelity eats away at the wife. She wants revenge. She wants him to feel the pain he has forced upon her. So, she in turn, cheats on her husband, adding to the misery of their already failing marriage.

Feelings of neglect, loneliness, and even abandonment are prevalent among women with regard to their husbands today. These husbands do not lack the capacity to care for their wives as they should. Rather, they lack the self-sacrificing spirit it takes to do so. They want to do what they want, when they want, and how they want. They are selfish. This selfishness can make itself manifest in multiple ways.

1) Spending time with his friends without her.
2) Playing video games or computer games
3) Playing sports or watching sports
4) Spending time at work
5) Watching TV

Now, bear with me for a moment. I know right now you are probably enraged (especially if you are a man) that any of these things could be thought of as issues that could lead a woman into acts of adultery. And you are right. None of these things,
