WOMEN ONLY PLEASE: Why do women have affairs?

I just seperated from a woman that I have been with for more than a year. But, I have known her for more than 3 years now. 6 Months ago she told me she was married but we would always be together either on the phone or physically. So I never questioned if she was or not.

Her husband found out about me because her phone rang and I picked up the phone a few months back. He didn't say anything to me, he wasn't upset nor shocked. But, now he is trying to win her back.

She told me the scary thing about their marriage is that she just stopped loving him and she doesn't know the reason why. It just stopped! Luckily there are no kids involved and they have been married for 3 years. She stopped loving him a year after that but they have known each other for so many years.

before all this, I send her flowers every week, write her letters, and talk to her about anything. But, now she needed some time to think and I decided to back away for a very long time!

Women like men have needs and wants. Some people reach for the forbidden apple and some people do not. When a need such as affection is not being met and along comes coworker "dave" and promises to treat you like a queen for the rest of your life some people "not all" will jump to that ship. However in about 6 months to three years that ship will start to develop some leaks and another ship will look better. Finally people learn that happiness is something within and don't lean so much on a partner for it.

Men and women both have affairs.

Everyone's different, but in my opinion she either got bored with her relationship or she felt she was not being treated properly at the time, and thus turned to you for either attention or for your charm, it's hard to say. Also alot depends on age and past, she could be immature to settling down or perhaps in her past she could have also been taught bad examples of dedication or just forgot the meaning of "til death do us part"

Women have affairs for the same reasons men have them. There is something they lack at home that they feel they have found elsewhere.


kim
Women have affairs because they need to know that they're still attractive.
I think that from this situation you will only get hurt. Let her come to you.


lovelylinda
Your better off without her anyway, she will probably end up doing the same thing to you. I would say she has a problem and needs therapy

THEY DONT HAVE NO MORALS AND THEY DONT FEEL LOVED AT HOME OR APPRECIATED ! NO ATTENTION AT HOME

Women have affairs because they aren't getting what they need from their man. I had an affair on my first husband because he was boring, and never there for me and very selffish, only cared about what he wanted and needed.
You stop loving your spouse also because you aren't getting what you need. Sounds like that is what she is going through. I would stay away until she decides to divorce him and be with you, don't be her mistress on the side unless you want to get hurt.


lady
She is immature. Move on with your life. Do not get involved in this mess. You deserve more respect. She does not respect herself let alone men.

girls sometimes fall in love with who they want to love. They see the person for who they wish they were. When all the glitz and glamour of love fades and you realize, "hey, thats not who i married...." then you're in deep ****. Also, the girl may be insecure and not know about herself. People (like me) find themselves through different relationships.....
and, no offense but how can ur morals allow u to screw with a married woman??
wutever rox ur boat, i guess......

you already know what caused her to cheat- she said she stopped loving him- let her have her time to think , that way when she comes back she will be ready for whatever you have to offer her, i wish you the very best . keep your head up, ifs its meant to be- its gonna be..

they are missing something from there current relationship and think having an affair will give them back that spice or whatever it is they are lacking, but in actuallity it just screws everything up on all 3 sides.


baby_love_marybeth
u dont just stop loving someone...there was a reason and she isnt telling u and if she said she needs time to think....she isnt over her hubby...some love is still there...sry about ur luck....their are a few of us good woman still around. i think u should forget her and get involved with someone who most def. doesnt have another man in her life. ps her hubby is trying to win her back because he is jelous of u

You did the right thing. Women cheat because their not in love - You should look for someone who will respect and honor you - and doesn't have hangups about an ex.

Not all women have affairs. Men have them too. There is no excuse for it. Cheating is totally unacceptable and women/men should not stand for it.


Mom madness
You are just as guilty as she is. If you knew she was married and stayed with her that also makes you a cheater. If she is undecided chances are you arent the last. She will move on to the next one willing to play her games

to hone in on my skills...

Same reason men do.

1) Lack of actual commitment to their relationship.
2) Lack of willpower to remain committed.
3) Sheer maliciousness.
4) Childish reaction to boredom.

Good thing you backed off. For your own good, stay away from her because you will not win. If she does not love him, why is she still with him?


The Chesire Cat
its hard to predict why anyone will have an afair..women or men..

for each individual who has an affair, they all have their own, different reasons as to why they do it..


sunflower
Women have affairs the same reason why men do. They are not satisfied with their current relationship, would like to try something new or just wanted to have a lot of lovers.
