While the standard moral consensus is that cheating is absolutely wrong
, the cheating wife may not entirely be to blame for the larger problem the cheating is a symptom of. One must remember that a relationship is a two-sided effort from both participants. This means that if a husband has changed unpleasantly, or has shown (even if inaccurately) a waning interest in his partner, this can lead to the partner pursuing satisfaction sexually and emotionally elsewhere.
