5 reasons why women cheat

It may be less common to hear of women cheating but read on to discover real reasons on why some women stray.
1. Long absences

1. Long absences

Busy professions make demands of any working couple. But jobs, such as acting, which require partners to be away from home can create a vacuum in a relationship. Long absences don’t make the heart grow fonder. After a while a woman may start looking for someone to fill in the space.
2. Revenge is sweet

2. Revenge is sweet

Sometimes when one partner has cheated first, the other one lashes out to give the cheater a taste of their own medicine. It may feel good in the short term to act out but this is often a sign of a damaged relationship.
3. Forbidden fruit

3. Forbidden fruit

It could be someone she's working with - an older man who is off-limits. Sometimes, a forbidden fruit makes for an exciting change from a reliable partner.
4. Sex - but not just for fun

5. Crying out for attention

5. Crying out for attention

Relationships are different for each couple, famous or otherwise. However, when you and your partner make the effort to support and understand each other, you create an unique bond. So you’d be crazy to cheat.
