Why Do So Many Women Stay Even After Their Husband Has infɪdᴇlɪty
1. To avoid being blamed for failure of the marriage
Some women would rather endure a man’s infidelity or wait for the marriage to crash on its own rather than opt out of the marriage, simply because they don’t want all fingers pointing to them as the reason the marriage failed.
2. For the sake of the children
Many women will stay in a relationship with a cheating man if children are involved. Divorce can be a stressful and traumatic experience for children. Children may blame themselves for their parents’ divorce.
Divorce may have longterm psychological effects on children. For these reasons mothers will consider the negative effect a divorce will have on their children. Especially if they have minor children who need a father figure in their lives. Divorce is not ideal for couples with children under age 8.
3. Financial reasons
Some women have no choice but to stay with a cheating man for financial reasons. If the man is the main breadwinner, his wife may feel powerless to leave because she can’t afford living expenses on her own. Sometimes cheating husbands use finances to control their wives and keep them totally dependent on them.
4. Societal discrimination
In a bid to avoid being the subject of gossip and unpleasant reference among friends, colleagues, family members, neighbours and even siblings, some women have had to put up with cheating husbands. Such women would rather stay with the man than allow people see them as jumping from one man to another or for people to count how many men they have dated.
