Do women cheat because they feel its not fair that they plan more of the social events?

Read an article about the myth of female fidelity and the increase of acknowledged cheating by women. Its not that more women are cheating, but more are willing to admit to cheating. It seems that many women are very upset with how much work they put into their relationship, regardless of how much work their partner puts into the relationship. In short women cheat because their relationship aren't easy enough?

    No. Women cheat because they want to.

    Women are much smarter than men, which is why they come up with so many clever excuses. When men get busted, they always say "it didn't mean anything" and that's it, because it's true. Men have no problem with meaningless sex. But women, they'll think up stuff to justify it when they get busted. They'll make it anyone's fault but theirs, and they come up with explanations that almost make sense. It's like if they say it enough times, it must be true or something.

    My personal favourite is "it was a mistake", because that one is just funny. How is it even possible to accidentally have sex with someone? When have you ever stopped in the middle of sex and said "wait a minute, how did this happen" or "oops, sorry, didn't see you there"? Stepping on someone's foot is an accident. Dropping your keys down a sewer grate is an accident. Having sex with someone can only be done on purpose.

    Women cheat for the same reasons men do either they are not happy cause hey are being neglected ,l , all because it is part of their personality and which in that case it is best to move on , and the last one they could be messing around because they have developed a bond with somebody else but are still being treated good and being fulfilled in the marriage with their significant other .

    The reasons for cheating on someone regardless of gender should never matter, because quite simply if you're unhappy in a relationship, bring it up with your partner and try work out a compromise which will benefit the relationship and satisfy each other needs or you should end it with them, it's not the ultimate revenge that some women think they're doing, because they don't seem to think that they could also, many months down the road, when they enter a new relationship, get cheated on themselves and often times that's what tends to happen then suddenly they ask "why me?" Men and women who cheat on each other are no better than each other when the simple solution is in front of them. What's worse, dealing with the fact you're not with someone, because it may hurt for a bit, but eventually you'll get over it or emotionally developing a mistrust in future partners and have an unhealthy outlook on relationships because you're convinced that you're going to be cheated on and left? I'd say it's better to of been loved and left than cheated on and abandoned, but that's just my opinion.

    I don't know any women who have cheated on their husbands/partners. I do know women whose husbands cheated on them. Yes, it's true that women do most of the work in maintaining a relationship, in making friends, planning activities, taking care of their husbands.

    Cheating is the same whether its for men or women, its because people are willing to lie, to hide their behavior, are not ethical, etc.

    That's basically the same reason men cheat too. But cheating is for cowards who are too weak to admit the relationship is over and to end it before moving on the to next person.

    From what I gather, the article is pointing to the fact that women cheat because no one is willing to commit in a relationship anymore. It's like saying 'why should one party be the only one doing all the work?' Relationships take the commitment of both parties to work. So if men are cheating, sooner than later women will also join them. You can't eat your cake and have it, which means that men cannot continue to cheat and expect women to remain faithful. Sooner or later our deeds catch up with us. It's usual to find that men cheat more than women because men crave freedom by nature, while women crave security. But nowadays more and more men are being cheated on by their women, in time there will be an equilibrium state where there are as many men who cheat as there are women who cheat in relationships. Things will reach a boiling point and spill over, and perhaps after this chaos order will return and monogamy will be in vogue again.
