Women Who Step Out on Their Man – The Four Main Causes
Men have little control over whether or not their women step out on them – it's their perception of the state of the relationship, and not the reality, that motivates them. Women are constantly examining their relationships, and if they get the idea that there's a serious flaw – even if that's an inaccurate assessment – she'll start seeking alternate companions to spend time with. Because she's already determined that the reason for her cheating is something you've failed to do, she'll easily be able to blame her cheating on you.
"Emotional distance" is the term given to the first of these causes. Women have a desire for emotional engagement. They want to feel loved and they want their man to pay attention to them. What do women want? It's a question that's been asked for centuries, and whatever responses have been given always seem to fall short. In a relationship, a woman wants to have her sense of worth reinforced by her man. If, at the end of the day, she doesn't feel that sense of worth, she'll blame her man no matter what he's actually done. The actual cause notwithstanding, when the emotional distance between a man and a woman grows, she's likely to start shopping around.
The second reason women will cheat on their men is neglect. That's reasonable, but it's still fraught with pitfalls. The man who's always underfoot, always in his woman's face, will soon be considered to be clingy: too dependent, too needy, too immature – and too replaceable. She'll feel confined. On the other hand, however, when a man understands that he's got to give his woman time on her own to grow, and enhance those things he loves about her, she might decide he doesn't really care. She might decide he's neglecting her, and she'll use that space to find another man.
Self-esteem isn't just something we want to instill in our children – we all need it. Women in a relationship need to have their self-esteem strengthened by their men. The conclusion here is starkly simple – if a man won't say and do the things necessary to bolster his woman's self-esteem, she's going to find someone who will, even if by all criteria her man's actions were adequate. From her viewpoint, another man will say and do the things necessary to boost her self-esteem. While most men understand a woman's need for self-esteem and try to reinforce it, if a woman feels she's not getting enough attention in this area, chances are good she's going to cheat.
The last reason a woman is likely to cheat is that the relationship's really over, she just hasn't told him. In one sense, the woman who steps out under these circumstances isn't really cheating because in her mind, there's no relationship, but that doesn't make the man feel any happier about it. The woman who does this is particularly immature, because she needs the uninterrupted sense of being in a relationship as opposed to being on her own, strong, independent and in charge of her own life. The fact that she's loath to end her relationship before attempting to form a new one suggests that her new man and her new relationship will probably suffer just as much from her lack of consideration and her immaturity.
Regardless of the reason a woman gives for cheating on her man, the awkward truth is that they probably weren't suited to each other. True love requires honesty and communication, and a woman who cheats on her man destroys any trust there may have been. If a woman can't tell you that her needs aren't being met, as we discussed above, then she's probably not the right woman for you to be considering spending the rest of your life with.
