4 Reasons Women Cheat—and Are Less Guilty About It

It's more common for women to step out on their marriage, a new book says, and they're feeling less tortured about it than men.

Susan Shapiro Barash has spent thirty years studying women, most specifically on the subject of infidelity. Theirs. Yes, remember when those who dared to cheat on their male partners felt embarrassed, shamed, guilty? Now, according to Barash, they feel very different things. “We were raised on fairy tales,” she says, “so there is always a price in expecting perfection with one person. Well, many women are now asking why not go for more?”

It’s not that the women want to leave the marriage, but to find a piece of themselves that’s been long gone.

Her new book called A Passion For More: Affairs That Make or Break Us, dives deep into why many women are choosing to cheat. She places these in four categories: Empowering Affairs (they are now an option); Sex-Driven Affairs (a key component); Love Affairs (they happen when women least expect); and Self-Esteem Affairs (they make the women feel alive). Readers can consume and follow the stories of women of all ages (from 20 to 80), races, and living conditions.
