How to detect cheating wifes or girlfriend

Women often follow a common pattern in relationships that leads to cheating wives.

She meets a man and falls in love.
She marries or moves in with the man and gets, or tries to get, a commitment.
Normal problems occur.
She becomes angry and resentful, blaming her partner for all problems.
She loses interest in sex.
She is attracted to someone else.
She begins to cheat or commit adultery.
She requests time away from the marital relationship.
After a period of time, she ends the marriage or relationship.

Most men never suspect their wife of cheating or committing marital infidelity because of the woman’s disinterest in sex and the fact that he believes her to be “moral” (i.e.; faithful).  For many men discovering a cheating wife shocks them to the core.  This pattern is likely to continue as research shows that nearly as many women as men cheat or commit adultery.  Over 70% of women are instigators in divorce.  Why does this pattern occur?

According to research, many beliefs about women’s sexuality are wrong.  Apparently, neither women nor men understand why women cheat or how to avoid it.  Why, then, does marital infidelity happen?  One reason may be that women, who have been in a relationship for a few years, experience a pre-midlife crisis, a crisis of boredom and unfulfilled expectations of marriage that often leads to a search for a solution.  Unfortunately, many women blame their husbands for the crisis and think that another man is the solution.  An affair ensues, often leading to divorce.  This is not the only reason why wives cheat, but it is a major one, along with marrying too young, marrying someone the opposite in personality and life goals, and men’s midlife crises.  Research continues on ways for women to avoid the pre-midlife crisis and the cheating that may follow.
