I believe there a large number of women that do this now let's see if they will fess up as much as men say they do.
Well, my hubby makes a great living as a divorce attorney and from what he tells me, quite a few cheat. But men cheat a lot more and for different reasons. For men it's sexual; for women it's emotional. Either way, it pays well enough that I haven't had to work outside the home in 11 years.
In the UK women mainly divorce men on the grounds of "unreasonable behaviour"
Most men divorce women on the grounds of Adultery
I have no idea as they, generally, are better at keeping it under the radar than men are.
I had known a few and the reasons was they don't get much attention from their hubby as compared to their lover.
Ain't that the truth.....
It really doesn't matter which country you are in, men and women will cheat if that's their desire. Sometimes, getting caught is that challenging part they love. Both will also lie about cheating. I've been there, done that... And have been on both sides of the fence. I have been with a woman who was also cheating on her husband. Later in that relationship, our spouses met at a party. They eventually got together too. What goes around does in fact come back around.
I'm 26yrs young and married to myself.
I think most of us when we reach our late thirties and early forties seem to experience a sexual overdrive and need more. Thus, if we don't get it at home we are likely to look elsewhere
