Survey Looks At Who Is Most Likely To Cheat In A Marriage

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A new survey reveals who is more likely to cheat on their spouse.

On the flip side, women who are fully economically dependent had about a 5 percent chance of straying.

The study's author believes it has to do with our cultural notions of what it means to be a man.

Being economically dependent on their wives may threaten the husband's manhood.
