How More Women Are Being Unfaithful: A blog about the statistics of women and infidelity.

Introduction

There are many questions a woman will ask herself when she's in a relationship, such as: "Is my partner the right man for me?" "Do we have enough in common?" And, of course, "Where do I go from here?" These last two questions can be answered by looking at the statistics of infidelity. Women are having more affairs than ever before, and it could have something to do with their changing sexual attitudes. Infidelity doesn't necessarily mean that your partner no longer loves you. In fact, there may be some very good reasons why he or she strayed from your side...

What is infidelity?

Infidelity is the act of being unfaithful. It can be physical, emotional and/or sexual; it can involve a person or an object. Infidelity can also be described as a betrayal of trust.

Why cheating women are on the rise.

Women have always been unfaithful, but the numbers have been increasing at a rapid pace. Why?

It's not just that women are more independent and have more opportunities to cheat, but also because they are more confident in their sexuality. As we see from the statistics below, women who are in relationships with men who aren't their ideal partner are more likely to be unfaithful than those who aren't.

Infidelity statistics.

The statistics of infidelity are staggering. It's estimated that 20-30% of all people will cheat on their partner at some point in their lives, which means that roughly one in three marriages ends with an affair.

In addition, the number of women who cheat has increased by 15% over the last decade and now accounts for 47% of all affairs (compared with 45% for men).

The most common reasons cited for cheating include: boredom; lack of emotional connection; feeling neglected or treated unfairly by their spouse; not being able to talk about problems openly with their partner; having an addiction problem (drugs/alcohol); wanting more excitement in life than they can get from one person alone.

What do women want?

Women want to feel loved, respected and appreciated. Women want a relationship that is equal. Women are tired of being taken for granted by their partners, who seem more interested in sex than anything else.

Women are also just as capable of cheating as men, but the reasons behind the infidelity differ between genders. For example: while men may cheat because they're bored or unhappy with their relationships; women tend to do so due to emotional issues (for example: feeling unloved).

Women who cheat more than once.

If you are looking for statistics on the likelihood of a woman cheating more than once, you've come to the right place.

According to research conducted by Dr. Darrel Regier and Dr. David Kuhl, women who cheat on their partners are more likely to do so again in future relationships than men who cheat on their partners (Regier & Kuhl). This may seem like common sense at first glance but this is actually an important finding because it helps us understand why women tend to be unfaithful more often than men: they're unhappy with their current relationship and want something better! That's not necessarily a bad thing though; if you're currently happy in your relationship then there's no reason why things should change anytime soon but if there are problems within your marriage then maybe try talking about them instead of running off with someone else altogether?

Infidelity doesn't necessarily mean that your partner no longer loves you.

It's important to note that infidelity doesn't necessarily mean that your partner no longer loves you. It can be a sign of a deeper problem, or simply a symptom of an unhappy marriage. However, if you're dealing with infidelity, don't let this be the end of your relationship--it's never too late to rebuild trust and love!

If you suspect (or know) that your partner has been unfaithful but wish to save your marriage:

  • Notice how much time they spend online after work hours or during weekends when they could be spending quality time together as a couple. This will help determine whether or not there are other issues at play besides just being bored with their current relationship status.

  • Talk about what makes each person happy in life so that both parties feel satisfied in their partnership going forward into adulthood together as well as raising children someday down the road if they decide against getting divorced now due to religious beliefs/family pressure etcetera...

Conclusion

If you're feeling suspicious about your partner's behavior and think they might be cheating on you, it's important to confront them. Don't let yourself get caught up in the idea of what your relationship should look like or how happy you are supposed to be. If something feels off, then it probably is off--even if this means leaving the relationship altogether! Remember: cheating doesn't have to mean that your partner no longer loves or cares about you; sometimes, it just means that they need some time away from each other so that both parties can reflect on what went wrong (or right).
