Why Do Women Take Back Cheating Men?

November 29th, 2010 - By Anthony Jerrod

If your husband cheated on you, would you take him back?  Or, would you kick him to the curb with the force and accuracy of a NFL placekicker?

It is relatively safe to state that adultery has become a commonplace component of our society even though cheating should not be the norm. To be sure, forgiveness of such transgressions is essential to overcoming the spiritual and emotional hurt and pain.  But, how many times should you forgive?

Although the following list is not all-inclusive, it does represent some of the reasons why certain wives willingly take their cheating spouses back:

    Taking a cheating husband back is a hard decesion. My hubby cheated on me and it will be a year of marriage next month. I was devestated, hurt, and felt insecure when I found out. I left for a few weeks then came back to "changed man " promises. I still dont trust him and dont think I ever will.. Marriage therpy hasnt helped me at all so…… Even if you do take him back the love will never be the same. therfore Im contemplating on leaving for good cause anger is still there. The trust barrier is broken.

      GET A LIFE LADIES. LIFE CAN BE GOOD WITH A MAN OR WITHOUT. ONCE YOU LET A MAN KNOW YOU ARE LOST WITHOUT HIM YOU HAVE GIVEN THAT PERSON YOUR POWER, SELF-ESTEEM AND SPIRIT. MEN ARE ATTRACTED TO INDEPENDENT, SELF-LOVING, STRONG SPIRITED WOMEN. WOMEN THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO BRING A LOT TO THE TABLE TO KEEP HER OR SHE WILL MOVE ON.

    I grew up knowing my dad was cheating on my mom. My grandfather was cheating on my grandmother and most of the men I know cheat on their wives or girlfriends. Sadly, as a girl growing up I learned not to trust boys, as a women I trust men even less than I should. When a women stays with a man that has cheated, in my opinion, it says alot about the woman. Ladies, men would not put up with half the stuff from us as we put up with from them. We have been put in the "needy" place by society, as if we "need" a man. Let's get real, they need us too! We have given too much of ourselves to men who give very little, and in the end we are left wiping away tears, changing diapers and praying to keep our sanity. WTF!!!!! My grandmother raised 3 kids that my grandfather had outside their marriage……. Why do we allow men to put us in this "needy" place? It saddens me because we no longer understand and value the true meaning of love.

    I agree G.M, I thought for a long time..oh mayber theirs a man out there that wont cheat and be faithful.. but women lie, men lie.. so fu** it … gotta take the good with the bad.. Dont think I believe in the unity of marriage… its just a piece of paper sad.. but its came to be so true for me..

    Self-esteem is the issue. Strong women will not allow men to cheat on them repeatedly. And, what is this nonsense that women cheat on men more. A fact…seriously???? Really…LMBO. Nice article.

    I agree with this article. Very, very good. @Kimmy – I’ve been there too and I think that children, fear and feeling like the marriage failed were the issues. Love yourself first.

    My white ex husband cheated on me with a white woman in my home. I beat both of them in the head with a golf club and divorced his sorry azz. I had 3 boys and made it on my own without him. Paid the mortgage, car payments and everything else without him. If you let someone get away with cheating on you just once, they will do it again. Life is too short to be with someone who is not faithful.

    I have the best of both worlds. My husband had an affair, and he promised he wouldn't do it again. I don't really care if he does or doesn't because I started dating a younger model with a 9 inch d*ck. Now, I have a fabulous lover(3 years), and I get to keep my family in tact. Whoever said that women are better at cheating is correct because my husband thinks he got over, but his wife is cheating right under his nose, and he doesn't even know it. Let this be a lesson to all of you men that think you're so special that you can run around and think that your wife won't…THEY WILL!

      you’re stupid to wrongs don’t make a right

  • G.M.

    why do women take them back? probably becuz those women have figured out it comes with the territory of a relationship, men cheat women cheat so what, no point of b1tching about it anymore…for women its do i leave this cheating man that i love for the next man who is gonna do the same sh1t who lacks the attributes that she finds attractive in her current relationship or has little to nothing in common

    Women cheat more than men. I think there were only 2 or 3 women (of 18) where I used to worked who hadn't been with someone else, and I think thats because they were in their 50's. All the rest have at sometime slept with other colleagues or picked up someone on a night out. I slept with 4 in 13 months. I was single at the time ;-) and a little braver then! Never go back after the trust is lost.

    Because women cheat too, and they know it. Most relationships nowadays is not about who is or isn't cheating, it is about who gets caught first. Women are much better at not getting caught. It wouldn't surprise me if women cheated more.
