A 2010 study presented at the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association found thatThe more economical dependent A man is on his partner, the more likely it is to deceive it.
Author of the studyChristine Munsch, PhD, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut, examined data by more than 1,000 men and 1,500 women aged 18 to 28, orMarried or cohabitant with the same partner for at least one year. She found that men who were completely dependent on the income of their female partner were five times more likely to cheat than men who contributed to an amount equal to the relationship.
At the same time, men who have considerably done more than their partners were also more likely to cheat. A man was the least likely to cheat when his income was higher than his partner, but his partner has always realized about 75% of that income.
"At one end of the spectrum, it takes less money that a partner woman can threaten the gender identity of men by questioning the traditional notion of men as family concerns," said Munsch. "At the other end of the spectrum, men who earn much more money than their partners can be jobs that offer more opportunities to cheat as long hours of work, travel and higher incomes that facilitate the cheating to conceal.

Women who were more financially dependent on their male partners were no more likely to cheat, on the other hand. "For women, economic dependence seems to have the opposite effect: the more they depend on their male partners, the less likely to engage in infidelity," Munsch said in a statement.
According to the study, women who totally depended on their income from their male partner were 50% less likely to cheat that women who have made the same amount as their partner. Meanwhile, women who have made most of the income household were 75% less likely to deceive their partner.
"For women, gaining less money than a male partner does not threaten, it's the status quo," Munsch explained in a statement. "More importantly, economically dependent women may encounter fewer opportunities to cheat, and they can make a calculated decision that cheating is not worth it."
