Why Your Wife Wants to Be More Attractive Than Usual

Women are basically vain, meaning they want to look good which is perfectly normal. There is a belief that a special glow emanates from them when a man serves as an inspiration. Husbands would like to feel that they are responsible for such glow but what if another man is providing the inspiration? Let us dig deeper...

There is nothing surprising about a woman paying much attention to her physical appearance especially if she has been that way all along. Many women tend to relax on this aspect, some way too much for their husbands' taste, turning off whatever passion they have left for the woman they married. It can be caused by many things like pressure at home and in work, childbirth, or age.

A woman who suddenly takes great pains in looking more attractive than usual after neglecting her looks for a long while, is something that ought to be welcomed by a spouse. It is certainly a welcome development for a long-time marriage in need of some revitalizing element. In fact, the husband can use it as an opportunity to start taking more notice of his own physical appearance which may also be long overdue.

But what if your wife's efforts towards improving herself has another target? You can verify this yourself if you have reason to believe that there is something that needs to be looked into further. Does her new-found interest in her looks come with disturbing signs like frequent night outs with "friends", lingerie that she hasn't used in your own bedroom, an unusual new hobby or recreational activity, or unexplained telephone calls answered in hushed tones? Does she exhibit lack of interest in engaging in sex or does she appear to be avoiding any form of intimacy with you? Does her mind seem to be wandering off somewhere even if she is at home? Has she been particularly neglectful of her usual responsibilities as a spouse and as a mother?

If your wife manifests any, some or all of these signs, chances are your wife is making herself attractive for another man. A faithful wife who has found new reason to take care of herself better naturally extends the benefit to her family. If she is clearly going the other way, you need to confirm it and act on it as required by circumstances.

The Unfaithful Wife

Husbands, are you positively sure that your wives are not cheating on you? Good for you if you are and woe to you if you're not. It is safe to presume that you are feeling something about your wife if you are doubtful of her fidelity. A word of caution though to those who feel sure of their wife's faithfulness for many men have found out the hard way that no one is absolutely safe from the temptation of infidelity. Yes, not even a quiet, unassuming wife...

If you were asked to picture in your a mind a cheating wife, you would probably form an image of a calculating and deceitful woman complete with all the physical trappings usually associated with women with loose morals. It is a well-known fact that a cheating wife comes in all forms - beautiful, not-so-beautiful, rich, poor, highly educated, uneducated, young, old, happily married, or unhappily married. A cheating woman can be your sister, your friend, your boss, your neighbor, your church leader, or your wife. There is nothing that can prevent a woman who believes she has just cause to cheat from committing acts of infidelity under the "right" circumstances.

There are a number of reasons why wives become unfaithful to their husbands. The number one reason is the need for emotional connection which they cannot get from their respective spouses. Sex is generally a secondary consideration for most cheating women. A fulfilling sex life usually becomes the icing on the cake for an emotionally established relationship that has managed to address a need or want lacking from the marriage.

As beings ruled predominantly by emotions, women seek affirmation, support, and encouragement from their spouses. A marriage is not deemed successful without them even in the midst of financial wealth and affluence. Wives need to be recognized for their contribution to the marriage. When a husband consistently makes the woman feel useless or of minor importance, the wife might find the recognition elsewhere, specifically in the arms of another man. An affair can easily develop when a husband neglects to give time and attention to his wife, especially when she has so much time in her hands away from her husband.

Cheating wives who pursue affairs for the thrill it offers are many. Psychologists see the unlimited opportunities given to women to assume positions of control and financial freedom as part of the reasons why the number of cheating wives continue to increase. Since these same opportunities have been traditionally offered only to men, the male gender has established early on its reputation for cheating. Clearly, infidelity depends on opportunity.
