Male Menopause And Infidelity

Why Would Your Wife Cheat on You? Here are the 6 Top Reasons

Infidelity is a crushing blow to many relationships. When there is a marriage involved, the pain and sense of betrayal can be overwhelming. Today there are more married women cheating on their husbands than ever, and the number is growing. In the past, it was usually thought that it was the males who were having affairs. Women were thought to be more faithful in a marriage. There was also a double standard imposed which gave a tacit approval to unfaithful husbands while women who cheated were judged much more harshly. Now through research and studies, it appears that women have not had a sudden change of morals in the last 10 years; it is just that they are being more open about infidelity.

 In most relationships, a man who has been unfaithful will expect to be forgiven for their marital transgressions. There are millions of women who will forgive their wayward mate, or at least pay mouth service to the words. The pain of an affair seems to be deeper when the straying spouse is the female. Many men will find it very difficult to forgive what they think is the ultimate betrayal. The reasons that women cheat are as varied and unique as the women are. If you think that your wife will never cheat on you, you might be living in a dream world. Here are the top 6 reasons why wives cheat on their husbands.

 •        Bad Relationship-Many women have confessed that they often have felt trapped in marriages and cheated out of frustration. They look at an affair as a chance to feel “loved”. Reasons for bad relationships include lack of compatibility, drifted apart, separate lives, and marrying too young.

 •        Feelings of Loneliness- With some men having jobs that take them away from home for weeks or months at a time, many women are left feeling depressed and lonely. They have time on their hands and want attention. Some women can deal with long separations if the husband is attentive and lets her know he is thinking about her. Without this feedback, the nights can be long.

 •        Lack of attraction for spouse-Many men will make outrageous comments about trading the “old lady” in when she gains a few pounds, or her hair is beginning to turn grey. These are the same men who sport beer bellies, earwax and take a bath once a week. Their idea of sport may be clipping their toenails while sitting in the kitchen. Women can still feel love for someone and not be attracted to him physically. If a woman has little sexual attraction for her mate she may well look elsewhere for affection.

 •        Taken for Granted- These women say that they received no attention and no thanks for anything they did. Their husbands began to assume meals would always be ready, clothing washed and pressed, the house would be clean, and the wife would be happy doing her housekeeping. This sets the stage for a woman to enjoy the friendly attention of other men, especially when they are complimenting her and telling her how wonderful she is. If your husband does not tell you how great you are temptation can be strong.

 •        Money Worries-Some women will cheat when finances have begun to create problems and arguments in the relationship. After weeks and months of yelling and casting blame, some women are ready to seek comfort with someone else.

 •        Mid-Life Crisis-This happens more often than people think, and many of these instances of infidelity are never admitted or discovered. As women get older, they begin to fear losing their youth and their sex appeal. As menopause gets closer, they sometimes decide to go for one final fling before they are too old to be attractive to men. This has nothing to do with love, and there is usually a lot of guilt involved.

Hopefully these pointers provide you with some valuable insights that you can use as a start.
