In a perfect world, it would be nice if women didn’t cheat on their men, but it does happen for a variety of reasons. Good men, bad men, and men who are doing their best get cheated on by women. But why? Why would a woman cheat on her man? Following are a few very real reasons.
She Has Low Self-Esteem
If someone wants them in “that way,” they feel worthwhile, desirable, wanted, needed, and loveable. – Psychology Today
Having low self-esteem sucks.
- You walk around feeling shitty about yourself
- You talk negatively to yourself
- You pretty much think the worst about yourself
It’s not a healthy state to feel shitty about yourself most of the time, and most of us naturally want to feel good about ourselves.
Let’s face it – being hit on by someone makes you feel good about yourself. A woman who has low self-confidence, and looks for validation outside of herself, will naturally be drawn towards a man who gives her that validation.
The catch is that a woman doesn’t have to be unhappy in her relationship to cheat if she has low self-esteem. Even if you are a great guy, and tell her that she is beautiful, she won’t actually feel beautiful until her confidence goes up and she sees her beauty for herself.
If he’s telling her that she’s beautiful, smart, funny, and sexy, then he can make her feel good about herself – even if it’s only for the time that she is with him, and she may want as much as that as she can get.

They love the person they are with, but they feel some sort of void, and feel as though sleeping with another man will help fill that void. Following is a video that explains why women will seek out sex when they feel bad about themselves.
