Relationship happiness is a key factor in keeping a woman faithful

n men, personality traits have been shown to be the most reliable predictors of whether he will cheat on a partner. But University of Guelph researchers have found that this may not be the case for women, who let their romantic situation dictate their loyalty to their partner.

A team of scientists found that women in unhappy relationships were twice as likely to cheat, and ladies who felt sexually incompatible with their partners were nearly three times more likely to stray.

Authors of the study noted that its findings my appear to merely support gender stereotypes about romantic women and impulsive men.

"But the caveat is that there are a lot of variants and factors that are not explained here that might impact whether someone cheats," said researcher Robin Milhausen.

Interestingly, the researchers found that men who were easily aroused and those who had insecurities about their sexual performance were more likely to cheat on their mate.

Individuals who engage in sexual activity outside of a monogamous relationship may want to consider regular testing for sexually transmitted diseases to avoid contracting an infection or passing one along.
