Women rarely feel guilt about infidelity 3,440

posted Tue, 11/03/09

Salvador Escobar opinion

"Cheating Wives Feel Little Guilt Over Sexual Affairs"

A more accurate statement is that women rarely feel guilt about infidelity, period.

Women, in fact, feel entitled to do it when they decide to take that route. Usually the reasons are emotional, irrational, and petty in origin. Common excuses for such horseshit are unavailability (usually because the partner is working to support the woman in question, not to mention kids), to prove a point, upgrading, and just plain nastiness. It nevers ceases to amaze me to profound amount of arrogance, immaturity and false entitlement that abounds in the actions of women when they chose to do this. Women may have the larger brains, but they also have the tiniest of integrity, logic, and class when it comes to being faithful, among other things.

Rather than clearly voice concerns as an adult would, women will often resort to hints, signals, and mindgames to justify cheating. Then when the secret's out, any woman will act like a child that's been told no at a toy store. Of course, we can't forget the insanity label that women are good for placing on others when they've been outed and their shit causes pain on the other party or parties. It's just sickening that women profess to be so much more ahead of men and yet are the equals of a toddler with Down Syndrome when it comes to dealing with any sort of personal responsibility.

Somebody who doesn't feel guilt, regret or remorse over hurting/betraying somebody they supposedly love...in fact doesn't love that person at all. If they did their conscience wouldn't let them rest easy with what they did.

I believe that all, except for a few women, seek entitlement and not love.

I know that this is extremely rare, but I've heard of cases where some women felt so guilt-ridden about their infidelity that they have endured depression, nervous breakdowns, and even physical pain. Not surprisingly, this is extremely rare.

As one woman told me today, men are replaceable. Maybe they feel that way when they cheat(they do).


5. Ali left...

But Tommy did they confess to their husband or boyfriend what they did? Or did they suffer thru the depression and nervous breakdowns because they hid the infidelity?

If it doesn't bother you enough to make you want to right the wrong you caused, then it's not bothering you enough. More like fear of getting found out and thinking about what will people say rather than trying to do the right thing.

It's just funny (and hypocritical) to me that the same people that can be so loveless and heartless towards their significant other are the main ones claiming they deserve somebody who truly loves and cares for them.

There's some #%'$ in this house....If you see em point em out....

They did not confess for a long while. In the meantime, they started to deteriorate because they had kept their affairs secret.

sometimes if it aint broke in most ways and a little broke only in one way, you need a spanner to fix it, take the heat off it or unlock it all together! If a man is working hard and his wife feels neglected, then the man's 50% at fault for not keeping his eye on the ball, no matter how hard he works - basically he needs a gameplan! If he's not asking the right q's it s a communication problem both ways - stop blaming others for taking the wife! It's 50% your own problem!!!!!

Does that mean that you deserve 50% of the blame if your girlfriend cheats on you?

I have worked with quite a few men who were unfaithful but blamed their partner for the infidelity. I don't know if I could put it into percentages, but when people say 'mostly her own fault' and 'almost completely her fault' sounds higher than 50% to me.

The current thought in marriage and family therapy is that an affair is a symptom of a damaged relationship. People can come back together stronger after an affair, but both partners have to be willing to move forward. You have to get to the heart of why the affair happened to know how to fix the primary relationship.

The relationship was lacking in some way or the affair would not have happened; still, the cheater is the one who made the choices and committed infidelity.

I hate to tell you buddy, but the nonsense that you posted above is exactly the same reasons given by men when they cheat. Get real. Cheaters, male or female, often take leave of their senses/morals and enter the so-called "fog of infidelity" wherein they come up with justifications for behavior that they know to be unjustifiable.

A woman I once knew who cheated during her marriage. Was a huge proponent of arranged marriage's. She was from Russia and I think an arranged marriage frees the people involved of any guilt over an affair. The marriage is a set up, they don't love each other and reap the benefits of being married. She got divorced of course, but blamed her husband for being lazy. She felt no remorse over her affairs and felt her husband not making enough money had more value in the marriage then monogamy. It makes no sense, but I think that's how people rationalize cheating. It's not my fault, it's my partners.

honestly, i caught my wife cheating on me with a coworker. she was being very cautious with her phone, and I did a google search and bought a Sim Spy from a website called proofpronto.com for like $130. i found all kinds of stuff, but the worst was the constant text messages she was sending back and fourth from this guy while they were at work together. they were having sex in the bathroom, going to lunch together, you name it.

John if you hire a PI maybe you can get some solid evidence that will hold up in court as proof of the infidelity. Otherwise I have a sinking feeling she will still feel entitled to clean you out. Protect your neck.


15. Tommy left...
Mon, 05/05/08 1:11 pm

I agree with Ali. Hiring a private investigator is a great way to protect yourself in any relationship. If the judge strongly considers the info, you might have a chance in court, hopefully.

You have to have that paperwork and proof in order, otherwise some simp of a judge (or worse, a female judge) is going to take it easy on her and still hold you legally and financially responsible for her in some way going forward.

Even though she cheated she will most likely still try to part with all of her assets and income and still take half of yours. Knowing this, you have to find out how you can fight this. Get a good laywer now, don't put it off, talk to one before you confront her about her infidelity. Find out what you should and shouldn't say/do. You will not be able to trust your wife's word on anything, her motives are obviously against you. Again, good legal counsel and sound decision making are your best friends right now.

Although there is no excuse for cheating, it occurs for a reason--that may be just lacking morals and adventurousness, or more likely it is due to something lacking in the primary relationship. Unfortunately, those that suggest that the marriage should always be saved are unrealistically optimistic. I am an optimist most of the time, but there are times when one has to realize that it just ain't gonna work. Coming from a family with no divorce (yes, not one), this is an extremely hard journey, but one I know I have to take. The marital relationship is not always the best course for everyone. Cheating is hard and hurts everyone, but a loveless marriage hurts, too.

My heart got broken pretty badly some time ago.. I thought my world had come to an end when my husband told he was leaving me. I found great help from one book, which described ways to get over bad feelings created by problems in a relationship / ending of relationship. The idea was that we can "teach" our brain to think in a different, more constructive way during times of crisis, in similar fashion as we can teach our bodies to move in new ways, for example when learning to dance... So instead of being "slave" to my brain and emotions, I can learn to block negative, unwanted feelings related for example to cheating etc before those feelings crush me. I can say that this new attitude literally saved my life..! In the end of that book there was a "Survival package"- section, with tips and instructions of how to live on day-to-day basis first few weeks after emotional crisis like cheating or breakup.... That really helped me, since I was a total wreck after I learned about my husbands affair.... I just could not function.

If you are interested in these things (biological basis of emotions etc), check out this page:

http://www.searchforbalance.org/

That is a pretty nice website, with all sorts of information on related topics, which can be of interest and helpful for everyone struggling with broken heart and other relationship issues... Lots of warm hugs to everyone!!!!! :)

Women think of love differently then men. Women will stay with men who cheat for years thinking "He loves me best". These women spend the best part of there life in these relationships never learning. You can talk to them and try and get them to think about the situation, but they only get angry at you. Your ruining their fantasy. What is just as sad is that many men try and help the woman in the situation only to get hurt by the woman. It's best for men to leave these women alone or try and exploit them for something. Women like this are emotional wrecks and will fall for any gimmick a guy can come up with. Some women just want to be used and abused.

My FWW, after ending a 5-month sexual affair, said she was sorry she hurt me. She never has said she was sorry for cheating on me. If I had never found out, she'd still likely be in the affair, happy as a clam with both her hubby and her lover.

After some more research into why women cheat or date married men. I have found that most, as in 99% of the women had no father, step father or their own father cheated on her mother. Now my theory is that a little girl adores her father and imprints on him how a man should be. She wants his love more then anything in the world. When the father leaves her mother for another woman the girl feels that he does not lover her or her mother. When the father has affairs the little girl thinks her father loves those women more then herself or her mother. Being that a girl wants her fathers love she will (over time) become the type of woman she feels her father would want. The girl will have affairs with married men because her dad was a cheater and she wants to be like those women. Most women cheat because they want the love of their cheating father. Women would have no guilt over this because they have rationalized the reasons for cheating. "My dad loves me now" What is sad about all this is that men have affairs out of a need for sex. Love has very little to do with it. This is a mistake many women make when having sex with men. A man does not need to feel love to have sex. Woman can to, but a future with that man is always at the back of her mind. It explains why women get so blind during an affair. Tend to get angry at the other woman rather then the man. Men who cheat manipulate a woman's feeling for wanting love from their father. Do they know they are doing this? I'd say no, they just accidentally trigger this in women.

My wife left me for a married millionaire. She does not know guilt. She has never said she was sorry. She is a sociopath. I got closure on that portion of my life when I read "The Sociopath Nextdoor". The only problem with that book is it is written by a woman who seemingly thinks all sociopaths are men. In fact, the affliction crosses both sexes. Most of us live the good life so when we die we go to heaven. When a sociopath is in complete control of their life and the lives of those around them, they are in heaven.

Women really don't feel guilty about cheating. Some do but those are usually the ones that love their man but is just not satisfied. I guess they think they can have fun too.

I cheated during a marriage and ended the marriage because of it. I am more depreesed now then i have ever been and i deserve it. what i did was awful and there is no excuse for it. My feelings of guilt will always be with me and at the same time I wish i would have listened to them and NEVER had an affair. it ruined a marriage a family and I am sure has permanatly damaged my children. I HATE myself for what I did and what it caused that is all

The mind has all sorts of self-protective mechanisms. If a woman's done something unpleasant and feels uncomfortable about it she will manufacture some self-exculpatory justification for her own behaviour, usually along the lines of :- "If he'd treated me as he should have done it would never have happened" etc. That will make her feel better. That's what it's all about. Feeling not thinking. Shift the blame. Lie to yourself. Feel good. Nothing else is as important as you - certainly not that bastard who forced you into that affair (etc., etc., etc.).

I want to read a excerpt from my journal that I wrote after I found out of my wife of 6 months was having a affair. Corrie we both know what happened with your first husband Mitch and how you needed me. Now we are in this mess and you needed lucas to deal with me. I can only say to you dont wimp out on fear of seemingly being to needyin the moment. Break this caustic cycle. As I wake up in a pool of my own sweat screaming I have to say to you " A needy person does not know how to love, they take prisoners of love. I am your prisoner " :(
