Quoting the Brides page, Marriage and Sex Therapist Angela Skurtu, one of the reasons for a woman having an affair with her husband was because she was dissatisfied with the marriage she was married to. This dissatisfaction includes various things in marriage.

"Right now, we expect more from marriage. Previously, marriage was a means to raise families and take care of finances. Now, we expect happiness, good sex, friends, and more from our partners. A lot of pressure on marriage, even though it wasn't originally designed to meet all your needs, "said Angela Skurtu.

When a woman feels unappreciated and cared for, they will try to find a source from outside to give it. They have an affair to get attention and appreciation for themselves, which is not obtained from their partner.

Research shows that what makes many women have an affair is an effort to meet their emotional needs. They have an affair because they long for conversations, empathy, respect, worship, and others that are lacking in their marriage.
