However, our focus will be on the women for now. If your woman has ever cheated on you and you didn’t know why she did that then you need to take your time to read this article to the end.
Here are the 10 most pressing reasons why a woman will cheat in an intimate relationship:

When Communication Breakdown In The Relationship
When A Woman Has Unmet Expectations
Women Cheat To Escape From Stress
Opportunity And Temptation

When There Are Unresolved Issues

Now the details:
Neglecting A woman Emotionally
Naturally, women tend to be more emotional as compared to men. They love to be cared for, pampered, and treated like babies.
When a woman says she loves her man, it means he is performing these functions well.
The moment a woman looks outside the relationship for emotional satisfaction, it means her man is not doing the needful concerning her emotions or her man has undervalued her.
Depriving A Woman Of Intimacy
This is one most dangerous and quickest means to push your woman into cheating on you.
If you think you can not satisfy her sexually then there is no need to enter into a relationship with her.
An unfulfilling sexual relationship can lead most women to seek satisfaction outside the relationship.
When Communication Breakdown In The Relationship
Most women want their partners to be their friends and everything. Someone they can play with, joke with, fool with, and confide in them.
When there is ineffective communication in an intimate relationship, some women may find companionship and understanding elsewhere.
When A Woman Has Unmet Expectations
Most women have what they expect before entering a relationship.
However, after entering, if their expectations are not met, they tend to look for fulfilment from another person. Most of their expectations are unrealistic.
Women Cheat To Escape From Stress
When there is a high level of stress in an intimate relationship some women can naturally endure stress so what they can do best at that time is to look for external refuge as a coping mechanism.
Opportunity And Temptation
Some women are never contented with what they have especially when it comes to what they expect from their men.
If the man does not prove that he is capable of how he appears, then the availability of attractive options and temptations can lead some women to make impulsive decisions outside their committed affairs.
Women With Serial Infidelity
Women with a history of unfaithfulness may somehow struggle with commitment, hence repeating the pattern across different relationships.
Influence Of Peers
This factor is very crucial. When a lady associates with women of infidelity, it is very easy to get influenced.
External influences from social circles or friends tend to normalize or encourage infidelity and this might encourage unfaithful behaviour.
When There Are Unresolved Issues
Lingering conflicts in a relationship that are not addressed might end up pushing women away to seek resolution outside the intimate relationship. Hanging problems in a relationship destroys it.
Revenge Or Retaliation
Women are some way when they find out that their partner has wronged or cheated them, they may pay back by cheating on their man.
Can A Loving Woman Still Cheat In A Happy Relationship?
This is a question that knocks heads together. If we say women tend to cheat because they don’t find happiness in a relationship, then why will a woman in love still cheat?
Most women find it difficult to remain faithful in a relationship so whether they are happy or not, they can still cheat.
We see happy wives and girlfriends cheating on their men all the time.
Frequently Asked Questions

If you as a man does not find out what makes your woman glued to you, you may end up pushing her into infidelity.
Cheating is not a good thing in a relationship and no good reason should be given for cheating.
As a woman talk to your man about what you like and what you don’t like and try to help him do what you love in a more humbled way.
