What might cause a married woman to become promiscuous after being married many years?

This person was married over 20 years and her husband was always flirtaceous with other women. Could this have contributed to the problem?What might cause a married woman to become promiscuous after being married many years?
With 20 years of marriage to a flirtatious husband, he not likely has much in the line of love, intimacy, or sex to offer her.





Even though she may love him and want to remain his wife, she is not willing to bury her head in the sand because he's washed up.





She needs some attention compliments, and to go out and be herself. She needs a life, and a sex life, and she will find that in casual affairs, while remaining with her husband.





When she gets her fill of the fast lane, she'll be happy to settle down again.What might cause a married woman to become promiscuous after being married many years?
If he was flirting with other women all the time and never his wife then he crushed her self esteem. And more than likely the guy or guys she cheated with gave her that flirting self esteem boost her husband chose to give to other women. She made the choice to cheat so she chose wrong. If he did flirt with other women, make them feel good about themselves and never his wife, well he should be able to look back and see where he screwed up.
it could have contributed. she probably decided to ';get back'; at him for all he's done. if the husband stopped loving her, telling her that she is beautiful, or doing any of the things he used to do for her and with her when he first met her, she stops feeling wanted or important. women can take being ignored for only so long. naturally, women want to be pampered and told beautiful things, even if they are lies, but at least it makes them feel wanted. if the husband stops doing that, she may be quiet for a while, but she will go and look for it.





another thing is that, maybe she waited that long so that her kids are grownand gone. she will then feel that she has done her duty by them, and they need her no more, and they wont be directly hurt by her actions..





research shows that the average human being always has a quiet desperation....maybe this woman's desperation cannot be quiet anymore

I would say she wasn't completely satisfied in sex life with husband. She probably have been holding back her wild side all of these years. I guess she figured she wanted to release her sex kitten before its to late.





She also got feed up with his flirty ways and decided to give it a try being a tease and she liked the attention! This is what happens when a spouse decides to give the other a taste of their own BAD medicine.
In a word, stupidity. His flirtations were certainly a contribution but ultimately the choice was hers to go there. If she is still married then it is sad she is having so many affairs and needs to dissolve her marriage or resolve their issues so this stops. If she is recently divorced, then I would say she is more like a kid in a candy store than anything. Sorry for the situation at any rate.
yes, he was paying other women the attention that he should have been paying to his wife all those years. it's just taken her 20 years to get fed up with it. if a woman is not being paid attention to at home, she'll go off and find it elsewhere. it's not right any more than a man finding sex outside of his marriage because he's not getting it at home is right, but that's the way it is.
If her husband flirflirtatiously for over 20 years, I would assume that she possibly believed that he had gone a little further on some of those occasions and decided that ';what's good for the goose should be good for the gander'; and went that route. Can't say as I blame her at all.
The wife is promiscuous for the same reason the husband is flirtaceous they are both needing attention!, The difference being most woman will not take notice of the husband, will just treat him as Jack the lad, but the wanton woman well! no one will admire her!,,,or want HER permanely...
His flirtatious behavior probably destroyed her mentally. Watching your man flirt with another woman is the equivalent of a man getting his balls cut off.
A flirtatious husband could damage his wife's self esteem.
Curiosity. Attention.Low self esteem. Compensation for an inadequacy.
Bad judgment
it just gets so routine after awhile.
Ya think?
