Mark Travers, Ph.D., is an American psychologist with degrees from Cornell University and the University of Colorado Boulder. He is the lead psychologist at Awake Therapy, a telehealth company that provides video and telephone psychotherapy, counseling, and coaching to individuals in over 40 countries worldwide.

When it comes to understanding infidelity, the motivations behind men’s unfaithfulness have been extensively studied. Academics and the public alike are well aware of the potential reasons as to why men cheat—from psychological and evolutionary perspectives, as well as personal ones. But, what’s relatively understudied are the dynamics in which women are inclined to cheat. Their motivations have long been debated, with a clear consensus seemingly out of reach.

The second most common motivation for women’s infidelity—nominated by 22.41% of participants—is the feeling that their partner is no longer interested in them or invested in their relationship. When women feel alone in their relationships—whether it be emotionally, in terms of childcare or in domestic labor—the desire for attention and care can lead them to form connections outside their primary relationship. This may be in search of the validation and support they miss at home.Intriguingly, 15.52% of women admitted that they cheated purely because they knew their partner was already cheating.

One participant shared how this dissatisfaction drove her to explore other options: “I wanted to know I was still desirable and that other men wanted me if my partner ever cheated on me with another woman. Plus, I wanted to be experienced in sex.”
