The Unfiltered Voices of Women: Understanding the Dynamics of Extramarital Affairs

Why Do Women Have Extramarital Affairs? Listen to Their Truth!

Understanding the Reasons Behind Women’s Infidelity in Marriage

Marriage is the union of love and intimacy. If a woman marries a man she loves and leads a happy life, she won’t want to betray him. When a woman has an affair, it’s often because she feels neglected by her husband, thinks he no longer loves her, or is disappointed in the marriage.

Of course, having a happy marriage doesn’t guarantee faithfulness. Sometimes it’s due to personality differences. Many people want to know why their partner cheated, so let’s hear their perspectives.

A, 27 years old, single

I think when a woman has an extramarital affair, it’s because there’s no longer affection between the couple. She feels neglected and lacks love, making life dull. At this point, if a man appears who loves and cares for her, filling the void, she can’t resist the affair.

Women are emotional creatures. They need to be loved. Regardless of marriage, if she’s happy and content, her heart will belong to one person. Women cheat because they don’t feel loved, and it’s all because of men.

B, 26 years old, in a relationship

I knew a friend who had an affair after 4 years of marriage, even though their relationship was good. Due to family conflicts, their life was affected, leading to many disagreements and a long cold war.

During this time, a man who had pursued her before came back and passionately pursued her. Impulsively, she couldn’t resist and had an affair. As her relationship with her husband faded, she continued to contact the other man.

Later, the man left without explanation, and she didn’t care. She had willingly entered the affair. She lost hope in her marriage, and just went with the flow.

C, 30 years old, married for 3 years

I believe marriage must fulfill a woman’s psychological and physical needs. If either is lacking, a woman may have an affair. If a woman doesn’t feel loved and cared for by her husband, she’ll see her marriage as unhappy. Physically, she can’t be without her husband, or she may easily develop a wandering eye.

When facing marital issues, effective communication between spouses is crucial. Women need to have this mindset for the marriage to thrive instead of resorting to betrayal at the first sign of trouble, leading to a broken marriage.

D, 33 years old, married for 6 years

I think women who have affairs have a change in mindset. Some women feel they’re outstanding, believe their husbands are not worthy, and seek a more suitable partner. When they find such a man, they can’t help but fall.

It’s also possible that they believe their marriage was unhappy from the start and want a fresh start. If they meet the right man, they’ll cheat and then divorce to pursue the life they desire. These women are selfish, disregarding their husbands’ feelings and their marriage, focusing only on themselves.

E, 36 years old, recently divorced

I had an affair, which led to my divorce, but my ex-husband had already been unfaithful before my affair was discovered. We had an arranged marriage and thought we could gradually develop feelings after marriage.

Without a foundation of love before marriage, it’s hard to get along after marriage. When conflicts arose, neither of us backed down, leading to frequent arguments and ultimately, the loss of affection.

Later, he had an affair, and I hardly cared. Maybe out of resentment or to get back at him for not valuing our marriage, I had an affair too, but he didn’t care. Soon after, we divorced.

So, women must carefully consider marriage. It should be based on love, where spouses learn to respect, accommodate, and understand each other. Otherwise, it’s a waste of time and will likely end in divorce.
