Today’s married women are having affairs more than ever before, with a record number of 1 in 5 women seeking sexual pleasure outside of their current relationship. This statistic is now comparable to that of married men. Unlike men who cheat though, who have rate the top reason for an affair as purely sexual, married women are more likely to cheat on their husbands for emotional reasons.

Here are some of the reasons why housewives cheat on their husbands.

Boredom
- sex is no longer interesting, their husband is unwilling to try new things, they rarely climax, encounters are more routine than exciting. The husband is often needing Viagara or other stimulations just to get aroused.

Loneliness
- their husband works alot, often away on business, not attentive to their needs or desires.

Emotional
- a desire for closeness outside of the bedroom, craving more attention, a need to feel more valued or respected, to reaffirm their desirability.

Revenge
- their husband or past boyfriends have cheated on them and they feel the need to show them the pain they caused.

Loss of Love
- they no longer have the same feelings for their partner, they cheat as a way to try out freedom before ending a relationship.

It is quite common for married men to be unsuspecting of their wife’s infidelity. Unfortunately women tend to attach more significance to an affair and use this as a testing ground before dissolving a relationship. Feeling neglect, they seek companionship elsewhere and if successful use this to confirm the relationship had ended long before the affair began, thereby, alleviating any guilt on their part.

So husbands beware! Be involved and keep communication open to avoid circumstances such as these.
