There really is not just one definitive reason that women have affairs. If there was a specific reason, this would certainly help out the men who are looking for affairs with married women but we know that the ladies are not that easy to figure out. There are some common reasons though that married women have affairs.
The number one reason for a woman straying and seeking an affair is usually sex. Maybe they are not completely satisfied with their spouse between the sheets and are looking for something new and exciting. It is common for women, as well as men, to get bored with their sex life and start looking for satisfaction in other places.
Another common reason is more mental than physical and usually involves some type of loneliness. The woman might feel that she is not getting any attention from her spouse or does not feel appreciated. By finding a lover, she feels that someone appreciates and understands her better.
