Women Who Cheat - Faithful Souls?

Women and faithful? Think again!

Anyone who believes it is always only the men who cheat is probably not up to date. Women, too, regularly look for fun in other people's beds. Monogamy is so yesterday. Free love and experimentation are more current than ever. Even if it is often no longer shown so openly on the outside.

Many people pretend to be faithful but have one or several casual lovers on the side. Sometimes completely without remorse and without guilt. You only live once, after all, and you should savor it with all its perks.

The cliché that only the man regularly needs the thrill of the chase to feel the spark and boost his ego is so yesterday. Women now do the same. But why? For all kinds of reasons. Boredom, a relationship stuck in a rut, boosting the personal ego, curiosity, one glass too many, sexual frustration and many other reasons.

On top of that, everyone has different priorities. Many take a more relaxed view of fidelity and fun, and even have open relationships and the like. Others, on the other hand, place special value on faithfulness and could never forgive a fling or an affair. This topic varies a great deal from person to person.

There are very jealous women and men alike. The most important thing is probably that the "rules" in the relationship are clearly settled: what can you live with, and what is out of the question. Fidelity is only one position among many topics.

Are women generally more faithful than men?

Statistically speaking, probably yes. Men admit much more often to having cheated at some point. What it actually looks like in practice is another matter. Most women struggle with harsher pangs of conscience, since by nature they tend to be more emotional than men. They analyze their social surroundings differently, usually show more feelings and voice their wishes and needs more clearly. They often think something through ten times over, whereas men usually "tick off" a problem and then let it be.

Of course, that does not apply to everyone. Lumping everyone together is always easy and serves statistics. Everyone has their own story. You cannot really generalize. Too many factors are involved. The fact is: neither men nor women are reliably faithful. It all comes down to personal outlook, priorities, worldview and openness. What will still give a relationship the green light in the long run is: honesty, openness and a certain tolerance threshold!
