When women say "it meant nothing" when caught cheating. Is that supposed to mean something?

What I hear is our relationship meant so little to you that you were willing to jeopardise it over nothing.

*Not a situation I'm in, just something I've observed.

Of the various women I've know who have cheated on their husbands or boyfriends, it was always for a deep, emotional reason, like their husbands or boyfriends didn't satisfy their need for emotional attachment.

The men who have cheated, in contrast, did so because some chick was a. willing and b. available.

@DunningKruger I'm not talking about the actual reasons because even if the husband/bf is aloof, cheating is inexcusable because you always have the option of making them aware and if your laments fall on deaf ears then break up with them.

I'm specifically talking about the excuse that it meant nothing when caught.

@SW-User Some people aren't built for exclusive relationships.

@DunningKruger That's alright. Then break it off with the one that is.

@DunningKruger I had a friend whose wife had to be doing it to get a reaction out of him or just hurt him.

He never left her and I think she finally gave up (or something else happened).

She was evil.

@SW-User I completely agree with you about breaking it off first. Good to know you’ll never cheat on me lmao

@Jenny1234 I absolutely loathe cheating. Never done it never will, especially not to you my dear😉
