It seems hell really does hath no fury like a woman scorned, as half of Irish women admit they would split up with a cheating husband.

Refusing to give the marriage a second chance, 48% of Irish women would leave a cheating husband.

Irish men on the other hand are far more willing to forgive infidelity in the marriage, as 67% said they would stay with their wife after discovering a betrayal.

Irish women are less forgiving of cheating than men

According to a new study, Irish men are almost 20% more likely to forgive their spouse after finding out they had cheated.

A third of men said their wife had cheated because they had been neglectful and they understood why they had strayed.

Over half of wives (54%) said they were unable to move on from the adultery because they thought it would happen again.

The results come from a new survey of 1,000 adulterers by which has 70,486 Irish members.

The survey found that women are better at hiding their affairs than men as 52% of women get away with cheating over 42% of men. spokesman Christian Grant said: ‘This research shows that a husband’s adultery is more likely to end in divorce than a wife’s.’

‘Women are better at covering up their cheating than men and it clear that there are millions of husbands who have no idea about their wife’s illicit behaviour,’ he said.

Interestingly, women date more frequently on the cheating site than men going on three dates a month over men who go on an average of two.
