How much "blame the man" do you hear from your patients? The man should be doing more, doesn't excite her any more, and so on? I also wonder how much money comes in to it - whether affairs are linked to hypergamy etc.

Hi Stereoroid. What is heard more often from women that cheat because of either lack of attention, affection or connection is that they have expressed needs to partner and they have felt brushed off, usually over a few years time. Most have asked for couples counseling multiple times and the other partner has not agreed.

I will add that many women do not blame the man or partner and there are many different reasons why infidelity can take place.

In my experience, rarely is cheating connected to money or status.
