Your relationship was going fine. But recently you’ve noticed a shift in your <\/span>girlfrien<\/span>d\u2019s behavior: <\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s started leaving the room to answer calls. She acts distant, taking more time responding to your texts, but when you are with her, she’s always on her phone and is quick to respond to texts from others. She\u2019s spending more out with friends than usual. <\/span>Despite not having actual evidence, you can\u2019t help but wonder…has <\/span>she cheated<\/span> on me?  <\/span><\/p>\n

According to research, a growing number of women have started to cheat in recent years. Read on to learn why and to learn what you can do to find answers to the question at hand: <\/span>is she cheating?<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Wives <\/b>Cheat<\/b> More Often Than Husbands?<\/b><\/h2>\n

We recently looked into the topic of male infidelity and observed that some of the <\/span>studies<\/span><\/a> on the topic proved that women do not cheat as frequently as men. Even though we noted that majority of the studies seemed to agree with the widespread assumption that men <\/span>cheat<\/span> more than women, a look into some recent research shows that this may no longer illustrate the full picture. <\/span><\/p>\n

A study performed at Indiana University\u2019s Kinsey Institute found proof that women are now cheating almost as frequently as men. As further proof of this, the National Opinion Research Center observed that the number of married women who have admitted to <\/span>cheating<\/span> on their spouses has increased by <\/span>40%<\/span><\/a> since 1990. However, wives do not cheat more than their husbands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Do Women Cheat?<\/b><\/h2>\n

So what\u2019s the cause of the rising number of women cheating? According to <\/span>Alyssa Giacobbe of NYMag<\/span><\/a>, it can be partly attributed to the rise of the internet. With the wide-spread popularity of smart devices, texting, and social media, meeting new people and engaging in secret affairs with another <\/span>boyfriend<\/span> is easier than ever. They\u2019re even more accessible with applications like Tinder or Instagram filled with guys looking to mingle. <\/span><\/p>\n

By scrolling through the feeds of our friends on social media continuously, it may trigger us to want to compare the way we live with others and imagine that we may be happier if were them. For lots of women who are unhappy in their relationships, the urge to talk to someone on the side can  be overwhelming. <\/span><\/p>\n

Economics could be another reason they\u2019re in search of extra-marital love as well. Many women now work full time and often earn even more than their husbands, which means they are not dependent on them as the bread-winners. For this reason, they are not as worried about the instability that would arise if they are not committed to one person. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, all of these are just theories. Regardless of the reasons, all signs point to a world where <\/span>cheating<\/span> is just as common for women as it is for men. <\/span><\/p>\n
