Hillary Clinton’s interview on The Tyra Banks Show has raised the question of why many women choose to stay with cheating husbands rather than file for divorce.

It is hard for many women to understand why a woman like Hillary Clinton would stay married to a husband like Bill Clinton, who allegedly has a history of extramarital affairs and is rumored to have cheated on her on more than one occasion (Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, and Paula Jones). )

Reasons why women stay with unfaithful men

Below are some of the many reasons wives choose to stay with cheating husbands:

• Love
• convenience
• Financial reasons
• Not willing to give up lifestyle.
• insufficient proof of infidelity
• For the sake of the children
• fear of change
• Low self-esteem
• bad moment
• Thinking the cheater will change
• To achieve professional goals
• Hoping the advice helps
• fear of being alone
• Loyalty
• religious beliefs
• Desire to keep the family intact.
• Believe that it will not happen again

But there are many other reasons as well, reasons that only make sense to the woman involved.

In the end, it all comes down to a woman doing what she thinks is best for herself (and her children).

In her interview with Tyra Banks, Hillary Clinton stated, “I really had to dig in and think a lot about what was right for me, what was right for my family.”

A woman shouldn’t have to explain

Having been the victim of infidelity myself, I feel that no woman, not even Hillary Clinton, should have to explain or defend her decision to anyone (other than her children) why she chose to leave or stay with a cheating husband. .

Choosing to leave or stay with a cheating spouse is a personal matter. Some women may make a spontaneous decision when they find out about the affair. And many times they may regret their choice. For other women, staying or going is a well-considered decision that has taken many factors into account.

So while we can speculate, no one can claim to know the real reasons Hillary chose to stay with Bill, except Hillary Clinton.

What NOT to do when a husband cheats

Friends, family members, even total strangers, who know about the affair like to weigh in on what a woman should do when she finds out about her husband’s affair.

After 15 years of researching male and female infidelity, and regularly consulting with infidelity victims, I have discovered that it is more important to know what NOT to do after the discovery of an extramarital affair.

Many women react blindly when they find out that their husband or boyfriend is having an affair. They allow fear, anger, pain, or a desire for revenge to lead them to do things they later regret.

Regardless of whether a woman ultimately decides to stay with the cheater or leave him, doing the wrong thing in the early stages of discovery will only make the situation worse. She can even sabotage whatever course of action she then decides to take. Hillary Clinton was wise to avoid making a decision in the heat of the moment and to take enough time to think through the situation and decide what was best for her.

For Hillary Clinton, the right decision was to stay. For me, the right decision was to leave. (I have been happily married for 8 years to a man whose first wife cheated on him) Each woman must decide for herself. The most important thing for her to do is to avoid making a mistake that could undermine the final course of action she decides to take.
