8 Things Women Develop When They Are Cheating

6. She becomes more independent

No. 6 on our list of the things cheating women develop is more independence. Part of trying to distance herself from you and having a romance with her new fling is that she wants to be more independent.

The sooner she starts doing this, the less of a burden it will be for her when the time comes to tell you she wants to call it quits (if and when she decides to do it). Basically, she’s paving the way to end what you two have together.

According to experts, it’s interesting to analyze the things cheating women develop, as some of them can be very subtle. For instance, they may start to drop their vocabulary from “we” to phrases that favor “I.” However, couple therapists recommend paying attention to whether she stops speaking with you about her future plans or not.

In other words, if your partner starts acting in a manner that suggests she no longer needs you to hold her hand, she may be having an affair. The reason she does this is because she doesn’t have the guts to tell you that it’s over and that she wants to maybe start over with someone new.

    Yep. My wife did every thing in this article. When I realized what was going on I told her I knew and if she was leaving I would help her pack and help her find a new place of her own so I could start my life over with someone that wanted me. This shocked her because like a lot of women she expected me to beg her to stop and we’d work it out. She started to cry and telling me how she wanted to make our marriage work. I set some parameters for making it work. That included counseling and some other conditions for both of us to abide by. We survived it and are still together, but she did tell me a few years later that she did not expect the reaction I had to her cheating and how it changed her mind about the guy she was cheating with. Don’t get me wrong. That thrill a man has about loving the woman he married is gone forever. He still loves her but is always willing to walk away from her if she ever does it again. Cheating, even if a couple can work through it always has permanent consequences.

    I’m 53 have 3 children with the same woman, not together after 22,5 years however the sting of the first betrayal led me not to marry, after I left a few months down the line I met someone funny thing is she did it too… Blamed me burnt my belongings, wait met someone else and spent 13 yrs but signs were all over and no did not marry, truly a shame but I feel woman cannot be trusted after all. Good thing I never married not a one… I can do all bad by myself, besides I can do it all cook,clean,sew, and work… The only one I trust is solely me. I feel women are just not faithful anymore period.

    The reason for the change is the spirit of the man goes into the woman & vice versa , psychology can’t explain it , & one reason may be they don’t want to receive that light , it’s not professional oh it’s not presidential , like duh what’s that got to do with anything.
