I think women can sometimes be narcissistic about their infedelity

I'm not trying to bash women here, but I have noticed that many women tend to justify their actions and blame the man for their fidelity. I keep hearing justifications from women like "he was always at work" or "he doesn't try to understand my feelings" and bs like that. When men cheat, they lie like he'll at first, but when they realise they are caught, they own up and blame themselves.

So often in my life, I see women do this. Women, at least in the USA, are more likely to cheat than men, albeit by a small margin, but they all seem to have some lame excuse that makes it sound like the man's fault.

My own mother cheated on my dad when I was an adolescent. It caused a divorce and he lost custody of his three children other than 2 weeks each summer. To this day she claims it was his fault, for not paying enough attention to her and always being away. She didn't complain a bit, however, about us living in a home she could never afford without him, or the fact that her kids wore nice clothes and we never had to worry about bills being paid, or a car breaking down with no way to fix it. I knew families in school that did. Their dads were home all the time.

Again, I'm not trying to bash, but this is what I've seen in my life. Many, but not all women are taught to believe they are entitled and believe that they have a right to justify their adulterous actions. People who commit adultery are scrum no,matter what their sex. No justification can justify.

My first love did this. I'm working around the country and come home to find she was seeing a schoolmate of mine. She blamed it on the fact that I was never there. She wasn't complaining when I bought her two daughters Christmas presents and kept a roof over her head while her deadbeat 38 year old ex ( she and I were 23) was serving time for tax evasion.

    I was in a relationship with a verbally and emotionally abusive person who always claimed that all of his previous ex girlfriends cheated on him. In the beginning of the relationship he used to brag about me, and make a big deal about telling people that I was a "virtuous woman", but that was probably just a lie that he told to fuck with my head. When the nice mask he wore fell off, and he showed me what an a massive asshole he could be I began to understand why his exes may have cheated on him, if indeed they did. For all I know he may have been lying about them to fuck with my head and manipulate me. Regardless, I'm happy to say that even under extreme duress I am not a cheater, because that's how I roll muthafuckas!

    • Rose, im not saying that cheaters of my sex aren't liars, im just saying that women tend to blame infidelity on the man. A cheater is a lowlife no matter what their sex, not just men.

        Well, I don't blame anyone, because I'm not the cheating type. I'm also not a fan of the sort of females you describe. Bitches be triflin.

    men do the EXACT same thing. i think these type of people, men or women are absolutely DISGUSTING and SELFISH af.

    if you arent happy in a relationship, then leave. and yes it really is that fucking simple. if you cant be an ADULT n talk about shit or leave when you arent happy, but your stupid ass can go out n fuck someone else other than your partner n tear up your home, then you need to grow tf up.

    (no i havent been cheated on personally, but i have watched it tear apart my own parents n other familiy members)

    Attention is necessary. If you're supposed to be my man, and I hardly ever see you/talk to you/have affectionate times/etc. Then we're obviously not in healthy relationship,especially once I've expressed my needs multiple times. If the guy is still just not present, then I must be a single woman and can live my life as one. I'd let him know my plans though beforehand, so Im still not a cheater. But IDK why people think they can just neglect their partner's emotional needs.

    • Be honest. Does your man bring in more money to the household than you? Can you live to the same standard by yourself? Ask yourself the question, if he were around more often, would I be able to provide for my children and teach them what they need to know?

      I don't know why so,many women can sit back and take and never produce anything toward their families security and blame the provider of the family for neglecting their emotional needs. A mother puts her emotional needs behind the financial needs of her children. Its called being a good mother. Just like a father who would rather be at home with his wife and kids puts his needs aside to provide for his children.

      I'm just saying women should stop being selfish and entitled and think about their children's needs ahead of their childish emotional needs.

        No. My man doesn't bring money into the household. I'm not married to him. I'm in America and I work. And even if he did, that doesn't excuse not providing for the partner's emotional needs. It doesn't take that much. It's called a date. It's called a few texts. It's called a massage or ANY KIND of quality time. Being around more often should NOT have any bearing with whether he can be a husband and a father. If he can't do both, then he shouldn't sign up to be both!
        I don't have children, but if I did it wouldn't be in a situation where the man has to spend ALL his time working to cover the kid's needs. If so, then we're obviously too poor to have children.
        The fact that you call emotional needs childish, shows that you have serious problems.

        • To say that emotional needs aren't childish says that you need to grow up. Your children are what you need to put first, not childish emotional needs.

          Not that you have kids, but I'm just generalizing.

          Also, you are in a different situation than I am speaking about. If your s/o doesn't bring money in, then I'm not talking about you. Just women with families that are narcissistic and blame the man for not being there but enjoying the fruits of his labour.

    • Do you think other men are in a much different situation? I see this behaviour from women across the board.

        I think about 50% of people cheat maybe slightly more, and 50% dont. I never cheated on anyone. My boyfriend of 15 years never has. Its kind of a gamble tbh.

        • I think when it comes to relationships we all gamble. Hopefully it turns out well for those of us who believe in fidelity.
