8 reasons women cheat instead of breaking up with their partner

Whenever you get cheated on, it can be absolutely devastating. Betrayal in itself is such a hurtful experience to take part in already.

But when you get betrayed by the one person who you thought would always have your back, then it adds an extra layer of pain and anguish to the entire situation.

When you get into a relationship with someone, you are practically entrusting your heart and soul to that person. You believe that your love binds you and that nothing could ever come between the two of you… but then infidelity happens.

But why would she cheat on you? If she were unhappy, why wouldn’t she just break up with you instead so that she would be free to date other men? Why would she be so willing to engage in infidelity knowing that it would hurt you?

Well, these are some questions that we’re going to try to get to the bottom of in this article.

1. She wants to have a rebound guy who is ready to go
She might be thinking about ending the relationship but she wants to be sure that there’s going to be a man out there who will wait for her once she decides to actually end things in the relationship. She wants to have a guy who is waiting in the wings for her once she becomes available.

2. She does it to force him to break up with her
Sometimes, a woman is going to want to break up with a guy but she might also be too scared of confrontation. So, instead of facing the problem by actively breaking up with him to his face, she’s just going to cheat on him in an effort to force him to break up with her instead.

3. She is afraid of commitment
She might be a woman who is just deathly afraid of commitment. She might have started off really well in the relationship. She was so nice, bubbly, and engaging. But when things actually got serious, then she started to freak out. And so she decides to engage in a kind of self-sabotage by cheating on him.

4. She does it as a form of revenge for something
There will be times wherein a man will do something wrong in the relationship and a woman will not know what to do with it. She will not be able to find a way to forgive him. And instead of just ending the relationship, he would rather exact vengeance on him.

5. She was never really in love with him, to begin with
And sometimes, a woman just doesn’t really love a man enough to stay loyal to him. She might not have really been in love with him at all. And that’s why it’s so easy for her to just cheat and be unfaithful towards him. She might have been emotionally needy and that’s the only reason she got together with him.
