Women Infidelity: More Damaging Than Men?

     It has always started as the old adage that “boys will be boys,” If somebody’s cheating in a committed relationship, it’s usually quickly assumed to be the man who’s doing the deed. However, this age, although I’m a woman too, I do not deny the fact that… “Hey! Women cheat too! and beware!! When they do, it’s often far more damaging to the relationship.

     While men in the other hand may simply cheat because they’re put in a situation where they can get easy sex and may have lowered inhibitions, women cheat for a new chance of love, to feel emotionally cherished, or because they’re convinced the relationship is finally over. They cheat with their heart, and because of that, female infidelity is far harder to recover from. Beware of that 'Cheating Heart'...

CNN Health reports:

In a committed relationship nothing hurts more, or is harder to recover from, than infidelity, and this is even truer when it’s the female partner who’s been doing the cheating.  In recent years I’ve noticed a precipitous rise in the number of men who have been betrayed by adultery, and while there’s an overall consensus among professionals that female infidelity is on the rise, the trend doesn’t garner nearly as much attention as male infidelity  That’s surprising, because female infidelity is often much more damaging to a marriage. Don’t get me wrong: Male cheating is definitely harmful. But when a woman fools around, it’s often the death knell to a couple’s relationship.

It’s often said that men cheat for sex, while women cheat for love, the theory being that men can more easily compartmentalize sex and emotion, while women typically need to experience an emotional connection to a person before feeling sexual desire. Without those pesky emotions to stand in the way of a potential mistake, a guy is much more likely to get himself into trouble (especially if alcohol is involved and inhibitions are down) or to get involved with someone for whom he has no feelings.

My Tips a.k.a. Cassie’s Tips: For any couple especially those who has been together for quite a period of time, either you’ve been dating for couple of years, engage to be married or has been married for years… Always communicate with your partner. Have crystal clear conversations; make sure your partner understood you at the end of the conversation.

There are so many things that people can do together to strengthen the bond. Men, please take care of your woman’s hearts. Always know that we are in need for emotional cares. Husbands, ask yourself, when was the last time you said something really nice to your wives (something about her) that makes her smile from her heart?

Most of the time, all that a woman wants is just for you to know that she’s there, she cares and she will always be there for you. It’s not hard to cherish our emotion needs. Back to basic, sometimes smallest gestures means abundance.
