You’ve probably heard that men cheat for physical reasons, women for emotional reasons. Sure, there’s some truth to that, but when we asked real women around the country to share why they strayed from their boyfriends, we learned they had a whole host of explanations — from bad kissing to sheer revenge. Read on for the truth about why women have given in to temptation.
Reason #1: There’s no passion
“I had been with John for about three years — he was a really nice guy, and I enjoyed being with him, but there wasn’t a ton of passion. Most everyone we knew had gotten engaged, and though John would have proposed in a second, whenever he brought it up, I’d change the subject. I took a trip to Australia for work and while I was gone, I got together with a coworker to whom I’d always been insanely attracted. I had a fantastic trip, probably because for the first time in a long time I experienced that excitement I’d been missing. I broke up with John soon after I returned home and began dating the guy from the trip. Even though I’m not super-proud of my actions, things ended up for the best: after dating for a few years, the guy from the trip and I got married and we’re incredibly happy together.”

Reason #2: To delay a breakup “Right before I was going to break up with my ex, Sean, he found out that he had to put his beloved dog to sleep. He was so broken up about it that I didn’t have the heart to end things, so I waited a month or so until he was in better shape. When things seemed to be better and I was ready, he lost his job, so I felt like I was back to square one! By that time I had met someone else that I really wanted to start seeing, so I went ahead and did it. I eventually ended things, never telling Sean about my extracurricular

Good one there!thanx.
thanks
Hmmmmm I wish couples would become more faithful to each other, and not allow that burning love that joined them together to burn out.
Aisha- agreed!
Seems like some couples get into a relationship with things moving too fast. Cheating usually ensues..
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
yea its sad really...
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Good
thank you :-)
Nice post Jenny.
thanks :-)
very nice post,also both will cheat if they think they wont get caught, but i believe .. why be in a relationship if you dont want to be faithful, just stay single
I agree Lisa! If it comes to the point that you feel you are going to be unfaithful, then you need to either choose to fix the relationship or move on. No need to stay in it and cheat and not care about the other person.
Right on. Companionship is what I think we need without being smother. I love this post, lol, it's great!
hi :)
Jenny, I've lived my entire adult life "without" cheating. Currently I'm in misery because what has happened with my significant, or should I say how many times can a guy recover. I'm stupid for staying but care very much. As stated, 100% LOYALTY but now do I leave just because I've made a decision to seek affection? I'm trying to continue to be a part of her life, share together...but right now I feel more negatives than positives AND I'm not sure what to do. I'm not trying to cheat, but really need hugs and kisses too. 15 year - non marriage - and why should I "have to" wait any longer when I'm in need. Confused but like your post Jenny + Nicole.
Hi Jenny I like ur post. Am faithful each time am in a relationship but find out that men find it easy to cheat than women, the reasons that women cheat are mostly because of the men attitude (lack of concern towards them), in the case of men, they cheat naturally ( its in their blood). @MJAY am surprise at ur comment really.
MJAY- Yes I believe you should leave why stay in a relationship where you aren't the choice but just an option.
Caroline- I agree I think men tend to cheat more then women... but I do know a lot of women that do cheat also that I think it happens to be in their blood too!
good post .....
wow great post jenny
great post ^^
thanks :-)
Jhon- I don't believe it is a natural process, I get everyone wants to be desired but there is a thing called self control. Everyone has it its whether they choose to use it or not..
good post
i love all your passion,needs,requirements as well as hope.
I do not know true love and have never been loved by a woman before. I really wish i could love a single alone and do not cheat on her. I believe love is commitment and sincererity. I love your post. but i am looking for a true love and if i found that person, i will love that person till God calls me.
very great job
cheating is now a practicing norm in most societies........... so partners requires proximity and network accessibility throughout the relationship where possible. physical explosion do vary and to mitigate temptations, partners needs to be dynamic and romantically innovative in their quest for love and continuity.
very intersting post....

I AGREE WITH YOU AISHA AHMADU.
Friend, I know you're
going through a difficult time,
but I hope you'll take heart
in knowing that grief
doesn't last forever.
It may not seem like it now,
but you will stand
on firm ground
and embrace hope
for tomorrow again.
You will be
happy again.
And though I can't
fix your troubles,
I'll always
be here to listen,
to hold your hand,
and to lend you strength.
very nice

AGOOD IDEA
I thinks it is true...
Cheating may be reasonable. But it is still cheating. Be careful when you engage into it.
That was great post...very interesting...thanks for shaing!
