While men are usually the one's blamed for an inability to be sexually faithful in relationships, women are sometimes guilty, too. The Kinsey Institute notes that 11 percent of all adults will engage in an extramarital affair at some point in their lives. Because of this, it's important to know the signs of infidelity in women so you can tell whether your wife is cheating on you. Whether it's a physical or emotional affair, you have the right to know whether your partner is seeking intimate attention from another man.
Affection
A woman engaging in an extramarital affair or cheating on her boyfriend will likely feel guilty about her behavior. Because of the guilt, she might show you extra attention from time to time, and show more affection in the way of physical closeness. This is likely because she is trying to reconcile her behavior in her mind, and is treating you well to make up for her infidelity.
Appearance
A woman who is engaging in an affair might have sudden reason to change her appearance. If your normally casual wife is suddenly going to the spa, getting manicures and changing the way she dresses, her hair color and her general appearance, it could be a sign that she is working to impress another man.
Absence
A woman who is having an affair needs time to spend with her new conquest so sudden, unexplained absences, could be a sign of infidelity. Watch for things such as late-night meetings, weekend long conferences or frequent lunch dates with friends. These could all be considered cover-ups for meeting with another man.
Emotional Withdrawal
If she is being emotionally fulfilled elsewhere, she likely doesn't need it from her husband. That's why emotional withdrawal often occurs with women who are engaging in an affair, according to EverydayBetterLiving.com. She no longer talks to her husband, closes herself off from him and refuses to communicate. This is a clear sign of an affair in which she is confiding and communicating with another man.
Anger and Blame
Women are likely to blame their partners for their own infidelity, notes Michelle Langley, author of WomensInfidelity.com. Deep-rooted anger for her husband's lack of romance or appreciation causes her to justify her actions, which is why she'll often exhibit anger to her bewildered husband. She might start instigating fights, dredging things up from the past or blaming her husband for insignificant matters. This is her way of justifying her infidelity.
