Men Who Make Less Than Their Partners Are More Likely To Cheat

For all the big earning wives out there, take note as a new study suggests that your husband is more likely to cheat on you than he would be if you made less money.
Men who are totally dependent on the income of their spouse were found to be up to five times more likely to have an affair with another woman than men who made the same as their wives.
The study was conducted by Cornell University graduate student Christin Munsch and when you think about it, it sure does make sense.

Some recent high profile cheating cases in Hollywood fit this bill to a T, as both Jesse James and Eric Benet both cheated on their much richer partners, Sandra Bullock and Halle Berry, respectively.

The study was performed over a six year period and looked at couples who have been together for at least a year.

One of the reasons given for why men tend to act this way is because they feel inadequate because the wife brings home more of the bacon than they do.

“Having multiple sexual partners may be an attempt to restore gender identity in response to these threats,” Munsch wrote. “In other words, for men, sex (outside their relationship) may be an attempt to compensate for feelings of inadequacy with respect to gender identity.”
