I'm talking about any exclusive relationship , dating, LTR , or married where the woman admits openly and shows signs that she is insecure about life in general . This seems to be true from my experience. It also makes it harder to trust a person ( I admit I have trust issues from past relationships )
I'm curious to see what other people have seen in their own relationships or their friends ?

No.
There are too many variables to consider. One couple I know of, the more "demanding" of the two decided to cheat because they knew the less assertive of the two of them wouldn't say or do anything about it - and - just didn't care about how the less assertive partner felt about it or not.
Ugh.
Another couple I know of the bored partner was pushing for more excitement and more experimenting and decided to propose an open relationship, guess who fell in love with someone else and ended the marriage because, well, that was just what happened?
Oops.
Another couple I'm good friends with have been married for years, despite the fact that she's insecure about the relationship a lot of times, he travels for work, she stays at home. And I think, worries about what hes' doing sometimes. He and she are faithful to each other, they support each others' quirks and idiosyncrasies because they love each other. They chose each other, and they respect each other and their vows.
It seems like your question makes an oversimplification of a complex situation.

What does "life in general" mean? Does she think she's going to die? IDGI

People who cheat are usually insecure, but insecure people don't usually cheat. It's a Venn diagram thing.

I mean the type of person that is pessimistic , never happy, never settled about their life.

Ohhh, I see. And did your ex wife also cheat? And you are wondering if all women with that kind of outlook on life are prone to cheating?

Insecure people often need external validation. Quite often the husband or wife are unable to provide the validation 24/7. If the insecure person has a tendency to dishonest behavior and if the spouse fails to provide validation 24/7 there is a chance of cheating.

Quite often cheaters come from a family of cheaters.

Your best bet is to look for a secure person that does not require external validation to be happy.

There has to be an element of dishonesty for the person to cheat. Obviously honest people do not cheat (whether they are secure or insecure).

I know a few people like that and they don't cheat, but they are still a drag to be around.

I have known both pessimistic and optimistic people who cheated. I don't think it's a function of that. I, personally, think why people cheating is a mystery that can't be solved. Not everyone cheats though.
