Ashley Affair Information Playground Ashley has developed the Affair Information Playground to provide our current members and potential new members with the information to make their Ashley madison experience the best possible. The information playground was initially implemented in April, 2010 but new information will be added continuously over time. Later, through my own research, I discovered that what I was experiencing was quite normal. It may seem a little awkward to talk about it but these things happen --- more and more married women cheat on their husbands. It's not something new and it's definitely not something you haven't heard before. Though it does sound alarming, have you even ever wondered why women get tempted to the path of infidelity? Why isn't marriage something that's supposed to get you settled and happy at last? Well, we've dug up the secrets on why married women cheat on their husbands and finally come up with the following conclusion: * Escapism. The marriage is definitely on the rocks --- couple it up with the bills, kids and never ending arguments and eternal fights about issues they've been battling since the beginning of time. Although we can't really question if she's still in love with her husband (and most married women would attest that cheating doesn't mean they don't love their spouse anymore), they're definitely yearning for some sort of escapism for even a short period of time. * Excitement. Their life is boring --- period. Although this reason is a bit vague and all-out I'm-so-self-centered, women use this excuse to cheat on their husbands. Romance is a very important part of a relationship and it's one of the strongest foundations of marriage. That's why when the excitement is lost (that includes sex) women might seek it from someone else. * Satisfaction. But what most married women would agree on is that they cheat because they're dissatisfied --- with everything. They're unhappy, they're looking for something new, someone that will make them feel alive and inspired once again. Satisfaction usually follows happiness and when it's not there, then she'd definitely find it somewhere else. In fact, women are the most likely to divorce in their late twenties and thirties after an average of 4 years of marriage. During this time, it's quite common for women to experience a pre-midlife crisis, which is similar to the male midlife crisis, only with an important difference - a difference that can actually make women more likely to cheat than men. If you’re a female, like most other females, prior to cheating on your partner you always proclaimed yourself to be "not the type" who would ever cheat. However, also like most other females, after they have cheated, you're shocked and appalled by your behavior; but at the same time you can't stop cheating. Women's relationships and marriages will continue to follow this same pattern unless we develop an accurate understanding of females ─ particularly in regard to their sexuality. In fact, after researching women's sexuality for more than ten years, I can honestly say that most of our societal beliefs about females are grossly distorted and many are completely erroneous. The media has finally begun to acknowledge, albeit to a small degree, the widespread problem of female infidelity. Recently, several books and articles have attempted to explain why women are now cheating as much as men. However, none were successful in their attempt. All of them left out very important pieces to this extremely complicated puzzle. I believe the majority were simply unable to find all of the information necessary to figure out the problem. Although, I'm certain that some were just afraid to disclose certain key pieces of information because the truth, quite frankly, is so contrary to our current beliefs. Unfortunately, without these missing pieces, it's impossible to understand, and to subsequently fix, the real problem occurring in relationships today. My story:Many will try to overcome feelings of guilt by becoming more attentive toward and appreciative of their husbands. However, over time many women will move from appreciation to justification. In order to justify their continued desire for other men, women will begin to attribute these desires to needs that are not being met in their marriage, or to their husband’s past behavior. Many women will become negative and sarcastic when speaking of their husbands and their marriages and it is not uncommon for an extramarital affair to follow. Shortly after my 27th birthday, I began to feel very different. I had been happily married for 4 years and then, suddenly out of nowhere, I began feeling bored and unhappy. In an attempt to figure out what was causing my unhappiness, I looked for answers in books, tried to talk to my Mother and eventually went to see a psychologist. All of the information I received attributed the way I was feeling to my husband, and similar to the majority of women, I began to view my husband as the culprit too. Currently, women are initiating 70 - 75% of all divorces * Sex. Sex is a gift to a couple after getting married. Although lack of sex doesn't follow that there's lack of love, some married women would confess to the fact that they're lack of satisfaction in sex with their partner may lead for them to cheat. Usually married women only seek sexual relationship outside marriage. And that would follow that they can be a little emotionally linked too. The "stages" that women often experience during the course of their long-term relationships Several years into my research I was able to identify distinctive patterns and behaviors in the women I interviewed. I categorized these into four separate “stages” that women often experience during the course of their long-term relationships. The stages begin with a loss of sexual desire. Stage 1 Women at Stage 1 feel as though something is missing in their lives. They have all the things that they wanted—a home, a family, a great husband—but they feel they should be happier. Over time, many women in this stage begin to lose interest in sex. It is not uncommon for them to spend a great deal of energy trying to avoid physical contact with their husbands because they fear it might lead to a sexual encounter. They frequently complain of physical ailments to avoid having sex and often try to avoid going to bed at the same time as their husbands. They view sex as a job, not unlike doing the dishes or going to the grocery store. Some women in Stage 1 claim they feel violated when their husbands touch them. Their bodies freeze up and they feel tightness in their chest and/or a sick feeling in their stomach. The majority of women in Stage 1 feel as though there is something wrong with them, that they are in some way defective. They are also fearful that their disinterest in sex will cause their husbands to cheat, or worse yet, leave them. Stage 2 Women at Stage 2 experience reawakened desire stimulated by an encounter outside the marital relationship. Whether these encounters with a "new" man involves sex or remain platonic, women will typically give a tremendous amount of emotional significance to these encounters. Many women in this stage haven't felt any sexual desire for a long time. Many experience tremendous guilt and regret, regardless of whether their new relationships are sexual, merely emotional, or both. Most begin to experience what could be termed an identity crisis—even those who try to put the experience behind them. Constant reminders are everywhere. They feel guilt when the topic of infidelity arises, whether in the media, in conversations with family and friends, or at home with their husbands. * Experience. This usually happens to women who married at an early age. There will come a point in their life that they would want to seek their other options and get a little bit too curious to other people --- and even marriage wouldn't stop that. Of course, that's if they're totally unhappy with their partner. They would seek experience outside their marriage --- usually, just sexual. Women in this stage can no longer express their prior disdain for infidelity without feeling like a hypocrite. They feel as though they have lost a part of themselves. Reflecting society’s belief that women are either “good” or “bad,” women will question their “good girl” status and feel that they might not be deserving of their husbands. Stage 3 Women at Stage 3 are involved in affairs, ending affairs, or contemplating divorce. Women who are having affairs experience feelings unlike anything they have experienced before. They feel “alive” again and many believe they have found their soul mates. These women are experiencing feelings associated with a chemically altered state, or what is
