WHILE MEN ON THE OTHER HAND...

Will or in many cases do/can return to the OW or another A even if they are getting their needs met because they MISS that conquest.

Can any of you women confirm or deny this from your perspective?


I don't think that's true. I've had female friends and relatives cheat repeatedly in R's. Mainly because they thought they could get away with it, they lost respect for their H's, they didn't really think they'd leave them (but of course, they did). I think a cheater will only not cheat again if he/she is afraid to lose something irreplaceable (ie a good marriage, lifestyle, income, etc). That's why boundaries are so important.
